The mayor and spokeswoman UPyD in Molina de Segura, Encarna Hernandez, an expert on European issues, at Lorca gave a lecture on the future of the European Union in which he played some of the proposals for reform of political education, aimed at overcoming "a triple crisis affecting the future of the EU and that transcends the euro crisis. "
Hernandez spoke, in this sense, a "crisis of democracy and efficiency in the functioning of institutions, which are needed for deep reforms in the Community institutions" a crisis of political leadership "of lack of will and European vision Current political leaders to move towards greater political integration as well as economic, "and, due to the previous two," a crisis of confidence of European citizens for the decisions that come from Brussels, and in general to the whole political fabric Community they are far from their true interests and seeking their welfare. "
According to Hernandez, seeing that management has made in bailouts like Greece and Cyprus, "Europe is looking increasingly itself, forgetting the goals and values ​​that lit European unity."
The mayor of UPyD claimed at this point "common solutions to problems that affect all of us" and a "deep institutional reform to win democracy, efficiency and transparency."
In this sense, UPyD and betting in its election of 2009 by a parliamentary system in the EU, with the European Parliament, an institution elected by citizens, as the sole legislative power to choose and control a real European Commission erected in federal government .
The European program UPyD and bet at the time for ECB as bank supervisor, something that has been done years later, "after the failed oversight of financial abuses exercised by national central banks."
To UPyD, "is essential to give this institution, whose role is critical in crisis management, greater transparency and independence."
On the forthcoming European elections, to be held in May 2014, Hernandez noted as "historic" the recent announcement by the European Commission, calling on political parties to nominate their candidate for President of the European Commission.
This means, according to the spokesman UPyD, "we are closer to a European executive president elected by the people", which "will be essential to increase the attractiveness of the elections in the face of participation."
In the current situation of deep crisis in the EU, which will require fundamental reforms and further progress in the political and economic integration, achieving greater legitimacy in the decisions made will be critical, with the reflection as close as possible to the will citizens expressed at the polls, "he added.
For Hernandez, the major "challenges" faced in the upcoming 2014 elections go, first, that there is "real expectation of political change," fundamental to the democratic process, a feature of which have so far lacked elections Europe. "Second, to develop" a campaign with a European dimension discussion focused on common issues, and we voted for a European model to overcome the crisis. "Therefore, political parties need to live up to, overcoming the "domestic disputes." According to Hernandez, If these two conditions, "European citizens will be able to see the importance of our vote in Europe for our lives."
Finally, Hernandez also claimed transnational lists and open to elect members of the European Parliament, and promote the transnational dimension of European political parties, which so far have been simple "umbrella" of their national matrices.
"The prevalence of governments in European decisions have undermined the party leadership in transnational democracy, being as they are these a major vehicle of popular will and citizen participation."
