Ahead of the European elections starting on Thursday, 215 candidates to the European Parliament have committed to support the European Federalists’ demands for the next European Parliament. Supporters come from a range of political parties and countries. Here you find the list per country and an on-line picture gallery. The European Federalists invite citizens to go and vote and support only candidates who have committed to support a stronger, more democratic, federal Europe.

Key demands of the European Federalists supported by candidates include a stronger Economic and Monetary Union (with a Eurozone own budget), a single European foreign, security and defence policy (with stronger European defence capabilities), a European migration system (including the management of external EU borders through European forces and EU channels for legal migration), make Europe a global leader in combating climate change and promoting the transition to a fully environment-friendly economy, and an increased European budget based on own resources. Candidates have also pledged to engage the next European Parliament in reforming EU treaties towards a stronger, more democratic, more social, more effective, federal Europe.
