Rockin' Together for a Strong Europe: A Call from Saar-Parlament
European Parliament in Saar calls for a Robust Union: Strengthening Europe's InfluenceGlobally - Strengthening Europe: A Call from the European Parliament
Wanna know what's up? Europe needs to get its act together ASAP to tackle the multiple crises and issues on the horizon, according to the smart minds in our Saar Landtag. They're calling for bold moves towards a more united and solidary Europe, as stated in a joint resolution from our ruling SPD and opposition CDU boombodies.
Check it out! They're referencing the bomb-ass declaration made 75 years ago by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman on May 9, 1950, referring to it as the foundation stone for European unification. Schuman dropped a genius idea for establishing a European Coal and Steel Community – the early bloom of what eventually developed into the EU we know today.
Here's the deal: Europe needs to stand its ground and resist the negatives that are bound to come its way. Europe's facing some serious challenges, and they can't be tackled alone – including the Russian war against Ukraine, global economic tussles, trade woes with the USA, the climate crisis, and the widening rift in the transatlantic relationship.
The resolution's all about Europe becoming more independent in crucial sectors, particularly through European initiatives that secure essential technologies. Green steel is key to a successful transition, and it needs a big ol' European boost.
The resolution's demanding a strategic makeover for Europe, so it can secure its own peace, energy, technological independence, and industrial power generation. The Russian attack on Ukraine ain't just an attack on its neighbors – it's an attack on the entire European peace order, democracy, and shared values.
Now, let's talk about the Common European Asylum System, which became official in June 2024. It needs to be implemented ASAP and in a responsible manner. European nations must have implemented the new asylum regulations by no later than June 2026. This thing's gonna lead to a fairer distribution of asylum seekers across the EU. Plus, we need a much more intense collaboration of security authorities in the Schengen area and in the fight against cross-border crime to keep things secure.

No super-specific initiatives or strategies are mentioned, though. Check out their Insta for more details!
