07/03/2019 (Agence Europe) – The French political parties La République en Marche (LREM) and the MoDem launched, on Thursday 7 March, "Renaissance, une initiative de réfondation de l'Europe", which supports the column of French President Emmanuel Macron, published on 5 March in many European newspapers (see EUROPE 12207/13). In concrete terms, they call on all European citizens "to rise and debate" Mr Macron's ideas in each Member State and to sign the call for a 'European Renaissance'. The aim of this call is to “create a real popular momentum, three months before an electoral deadline crucial for the future of the continent. Between stagnation and division, we propose another choice: that of a transformed Europe protecting everyone from the challenges of our time”, the press release explains. The call can be signed on https://ue-renaissance.fr , available in the 24 official languages of the EU. (CG)
