Forum du Parti Pirate

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
