Title
Political Platform text
Insert from line 314 to 316:
FYEG stands for cultural rights. The colonial, imperialist, discriminatory and assimilationist policies in European countries have left ethnic, cultural and national minorities heavily marginalised and vulnerable. We defend the right of individuals and
From line 318 to 320:
cultures, including their languages, religions, art forms, and ways of life. NationalEthnic, cultural and national minorities must have strong legal protection, sufficient and stable funding and cultural autonomy in support of their efforts to revitalise, retain
From line 496 to 498:
A stronger EU requires a real EU budget. The EU budget should be substantially increased, in particular by giving the creation of newEU its own power to levy taxes for its “own resources” (see Glossary 116) such as a European kerosene (see Glossary 96) tax, a carbon tax (see

tech giants, and a tax on financial transactions (see Glossary 162) (see Chapter 4 – Fiscal policy). The European Union may levy taxes in certain areas based on the principle of subsidiarity. This will reduce the dependence on Member States' contributions and will allow for more effective taxation in certain areas than a Member State could do on its own. When establishing these Europe-wide taxes, the economic differences between Member States must be taken into account, whereby a Europe-wide tax must not increase inequality between Member States or hit poorer Member States harder. The EU should also be able to issue bonds to contribute to its budget. We call for deepened European defence cooperation and in the long
In line 663:
FYEG supports the objective of reaching climate neutrality in Europe by 20305.
From line 705 to 707:
Europe must phase out all fossil fuels, starting with coal and fracked gas (see Glossary 68), which must be phased out in Europe by 2027 at the latest. FossilThis includes first and foremost the stopping of imports of fossil fuels directly or as soon as possible according to WTO trade law from authoritarian regimes committing the most egregious human rights violations, such as but not limited to breaches of peremptory norms (see Glossary 189) - for example, the Russian Federation. Furthermore, the production and import of fossil fuels must be replaced by renewable and emission-free solutions: wind energy,

infrastructure should not be built in Europe. This includes gas infrastructure.[Space]It is also crucial that the energy gap in certain areas in Europe can be quickly filled in and that an optimal energy mix across the continent is

not endanger climate objectives and if fossil fuels are no longer used for electricity production on the same network. The phase-out of nuclear energy should be carried out in a way that does not endanger climate objectives and if fossil fuels are no longer used for electricity production on the same network. Thus, FYEG strongly supports the development of renewable solutions to replace the output from nuclear power plants. This helps to limit dependence on fossil fuels from Russia and other authoritarian states. A nuclear phaseout must be reliant on renewables instead of fossil fuels. European countries should not export their nuclear technology or build nuclear plants outside of Europe.
From line 1064 to 1067:
call for the economy to be structured differently. Companies that are considered too big to fail (see Glossary 164) or hold monopolies, oligopolies or create cartels must be split up. Antitrust laws must be effectively enforced to companies with substantial market power. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) shouldmust have more opportunities to run their businesses without facing the threat of multinational corporations. Enterprises

increasing inequalities. We support the introduction of public housing quotas by city and by neighbourhood. To prevent pressure on the housing prices on the private market, cities with large student populations need sufficient and quality non-profit student housing. Investments should be increased in non-profit student housing as well.
Insert from line 1536 to 1537:
We support the full legalisation and regulation of drugs across Europe, while increasing prevention measures. Drug legalisation would deprive organised crime structures
Insert after line 2421:
- Peremptory norms: Also jus cogens norms. These norms are rules accepted by (almost) all states, which are of fundamental importance for the international community, and which have universal application and are always valid and may not be derogated from. Examples include the prohibition of genocide, piracy, slavery, racial discrimination, the crime of aggression and the unlawful use of force.
