Mab, délégué du PP-SE au PP-EU et chef de cabinet d'Amelia a écrit :Dear Fellow Pirates,
as you hopefully are aware Piratpartiet has at the last two conferences asked for feedback on a proposal to make a strategic alliance with the EU democrats (a small EU-sceptic political party) to form a European political party already this year so that we can benefit from EU funding already next year. Based on the verbal feedback from the last two conferences, and the written feedback from the Pirate Parties of Catalonia, France, Germany and Luxembourg, our board made the following decision this weekend (my translation):
"Considering the concerns presented by our European sister parties and striving for cohesion among the Pirate movement of Europe we the board of the Swedish Pirate Party have decided to terminate the discussions with EUD regarding the possibility to form a joint European political party. This is done to avoid that the European Pirate movement gets its reputation smeared by being mistakenly confused for EU-sceptic nationalists."
Feel free to pass this information along to other members of your parties, and to people involved with EU-coordination not on this list.
Best regards
Mab
Traduction de la décision :
Considérant les inquiétudes soulevées par nos partis frères européens et s'efforçant de rechercher la cohésion au sein du mouvement Pirate d'Europe nous, le bureau du Parti Pirate Suédois, avons décidé de cesser les discussions avec les EUDémocrates sur la possibilité de former un parti politique européen conjoint. Ceci afin d'éviter que le mouvement Pirate européen voit sa réputation entachée en étant, à tort, confondu avec des nationalistes eurosceptiques.
Merci encore à tous ceux qui ont contribué à la rédaction de notre propre texte !
Edit : "partis européens frères" -> "partis frères européens".
