We are currently engaging with think tanks and political parties across the continent to collaboratively develop a detailed counter-proposal to the centralist, anti-national, and anti-democratic vision of the European Union promoted by the European Parliament and President Macron.

In September last year, in collaboration with the Heritage Foundation, the Ordo Iuris Institute organized a conference in Warsaw, bringing together think tanks from across Europe to discuss the potential impact on transatlantic relations of the deep treaty reform proposed by the European Parliament, strongly supported by Germany and France. The need for an alternative EU reform project was also highlighted.

This has resulted in an initial report prepared by Poland’s Ordo Iuris Institute and Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium. This report outlines two possible scenarios for an alternative reform of the EU treaties, aiming to restore democracy and national sovereignty to the center of EU cooperation and make Europe great again.

“The Great Reset – Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the European Union” is now available for download in five European languages:

• English
• French
• Spanish
• Polish
• Hungarian

Over the past 70 years, the European Union has evolved from a simple economic cooperation project into a powerful supranational entity with its own currency, court, and ability to impose financial sanctions on Member States. What began as a vision of free trade and peaceful coexistence has transformed into an institution influencing nearly all aspects of governance in Europe, centralizing power at the expense of national sovereignty.

Today, the EU faces an existential crisis. Some advocate for deeper integration, accelerating the trend toward federalization. However, decades of increased centralization have not resolved Europe's challenges but have instead exacerbated them. The solution lies in returning to the EU's founding principles.
