EFP Belgium joins forces with Stand Up for the United States of Europe

We are excited to announce that EFP Belgium will field candidates for the 25 May 2014 European Parliament elections in the French-speaking part of Belgium (Wallonia and French-speaking Brussels) jointly with Stand Up for the United States of Europe. The two teams are already working as one to complete the collection of the required 5.000 signatures for the registration of the joint list. Since Stand Up has already collected several thousand signatures under their name, the collection will continue using the Stand Up form (see below) and the list will bear the Stand Up name. However, both party names and logos will feature on all communications and other electoral campaign material, and this will be a really joint effort. We are still exploring options for fielding candidates in Flanders and Dutch-speaking Brussels too.

Help us collect more signatures!

To ensure that the joint Stand Up – EFP Belgium list of candidates can participate in the elections, we need to collect a minimum of 5,000 signatures from Wallonia or Brussels. Help us do so by signing the attached form yourself and by asking family and friends to sign too!
