Building a stronger, more equal european union through true collaboration
EU Reform
We want to reform the European Union. We want a looser confederation of European national democracies, in which cooperation takes place only in those areas where working together really adds value, such as in trade and border protection. We want a European Union in which all of our nations are treated on equal footing
Confederalist Vision
To that end, we spread the message of a middle way for European cooperation, between the extremes of ‘more Europe’ and ‘no Europe’. The Young Confederalists of Europe and its national branches are bound by a founding declaration
Eurorealist Reform
Conscious of the urgent need to reform the EU on the basis of Eurorealism, Openness, Accountability and Democracy, in a way that respects the sovereignty of our nations and concentrates on economic recovery, growth and competitiveness in 2009, our founders adopted the YCE Declaration which sets out our Principles and Values.
