Promoting European Values

In contrast to those who seek to roll back rights and divide our communities, expanding rights and freedoms will be at the heart of all our actions. We will protect and seek to further European liberal democratic values, the rule of law and fundamental rights. We will counter the destructive efforts of populists from all sides of the political spectrum and extreme nationalists. Renew Europe calls for an EU based rule of law monitoring mechanism.

We have a proposal to ensure that autocrats who ignore our values don’t get EU money, and that EU funds reach those who need it the most.

We will fight intolerance and continue to promote equality and non-discrimination on all grounds, though our Simone Veil Pact and Equality Strategy, building a brighter future for young people.

Renew Europe is at the forefront of defending our common European values of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights.

Our common values are the driver of our responses, from the promotion of a new comprehensive “migration and asylum pact” to control migration flows, to the development of artificial intelligence that puts the citizen at the centre.

We believe European citizens must be central to the debate, in particular through an ambitious Conference for the Future of Europe.
