Our voice is already raised, time to listen\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMake your voice heard\u201d is the official slogan of this Conference, as it states on its <\/span>participative online platform<\/span><\/a>. Citizens Takeover Europe members heard this loud and clear and organised, as a coalition CSOs, two distinctive actions on the 19th of June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, several members gathered in Strasburg in front of the European Parliament for a small-scale protest to show that despite the very few number of seats allocated to CSOs in the Plenary, organisations still want to have a say on the process of the Conference itself, as well as on the content of its discussions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Citizens Takeover Europe members were joined by MEPs Daniel Freund and Helmut Scholz, both seating on the Executive Board of the Conference, who showed their support for a better inclusion of CSOs and higher direct participation of citizens in the EU democratic processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More inclusion of under-represented communities<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CTOE published its <\/span>Open Letter sent to the Executive Board of the Conference<\/span><\/a> calling for more conclusion, which was co-signed by more than 62 organisations in just a few days. This keen interest of so many organisations joining together to send out a clear message on the necessity for more inclusion shows the eagerness of CSOs for a better representation of citizens, especially those from under-represented communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Conference has so far not made adequate provisions to include marginalised and underrepresented communities. The <\/span>European Citizens\u2019 Panels<\/span><\/a> are the main innovation of the Conference, and a key instrument to reach underrepresented people. Unfortunately, no quotas have been set to ensure the representation of underrepresented groups such as racialised people, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities, etc. Additionally, EU residents without EU passports and non-binary people seem to be categorically excluded from the panels. […] It is in our common interest that this Conference becomes a success, but it can only become a success if all of Europe\u2019s citizens and residents are provided access, included and treated as equal partners in this dialogue\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Including EU citizens & residents who are actually representative of its population\u2019s diversity is the first and necessary step towards a public dialogue that only resonates with the majority but also helps (re-)connect the population with its EU institutions. However this can be achieved only by providing a safe space for all those voices to be heard loud and clear. The well-know presence of some oppressive, as well as openly racist and homophobe notables in the composition of this Conference, does not provide the adequate space for a number of citizens to feel free and protected to publicly express their views on the future that they wish to have which includes the protection of their fundamental rights. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
