*Sign the petition for a truly democratic Europe!*

On 23-26 May, the European elections take place. But elections are not
enough to ensure democracy. Too often, important decisions in the EU are
taken behind closed doors. Corporate lobbyists and special interests have
too much power. We want the citizens to get the first and last say over the
future of Europe! Sign here
