Europe United demands that the EU unite in solidarity with Denmark in facing the challenges that have arisen from the "Cartoons affair". Danish and EU embassies have been burned, lives have been threatened and Denmark faces a significantly increased risk of a terrorist atrocity occuring on its soil.
In the name of European solidarity Europe United demands:
1. All EU member state governments should express their solidarity and unconditional support for the Danish Government in whatever it chooses to do. The EU Commission should do the same.
2. The EU should offer Denmark the option of passing over responsibility for this crisis to the EU and for pursuing the foreign policy and security aspects of this through the EU's Common Foreign and Security policy structure. All members must give their wholehearted support to this policy in the spirit of mutual EU solidarity.
3. The EU should then threaten a unilateral trade embargo, and a complete halt in aid, to those countries that are permitting such attacks on EU property. It should also issue a pre-emptive warning that any terrorist attack against Denmark will be seen as an attack on the whole EU and will be treated as such.
Federalist Senate Chairperson George Masterton: "It is time to stand up for our values of free speech, and toleration. Denmark cannot be allowed to face this alone. We need a common EU voice on this. The EU must unite with Denmark in the name of solidarity forth with, and do everything with in its power to protect and help that member in its hour of difficulty."
Europe United is a new pro-European, pan-European and federalist political party which advocates for further integration and establishment of a United Europe.
