Rather than trade in nostalgia, focus on short-term domestic industrial interests and retreat behind national borders, the unchartered challenges of our present times are an invitation to the nations of Europe to reinvent the “European common good”, the Res Publica.

Our Mission

Res Publica Europa is a non-partisan platform, factory of ideas and network of influence for an ambitious renewal of Europe. 

 

To respond to the rise of the nationalist-populist project, we bet on ideas and intellectual boldness. 

A reloaded European software should be based on four pillars: Fixing inequalities, Climate, Democracy and Sovereignty.

    Res Publica Europa convenes a panel discussion with key decision makers and stakeholders of the burning enlargement debate.

The European elections of 2024 will be a decisive moment. For citizens, the future cannot be reduced to a choice between the radical agenda pushed by the “coalition of the nationalists” and a continuation of the complacent status quo upheld by the so-called “pro-Europeans”.

 

The former have accomplished their aggiornamento: they are banking on fear and anger to advance a new idea for Europe, based on the defence of Christian civilisation, the rebirth of a strong state and the critique of liberalism. The latter recognise that they have conceded too much to global financial capitalism: they know that they must reconcile economies of scale and liberal freedoms with the demands for identity and social equality that resound loudly across Europe, yet they are still scouting for new political and conceptual bearings.
