Project for Democratic Union

The Project for Democratic Union (PDU), is a European political think-tank promoting a full political integration of the Eurozone. It advocates for Eurozone member states to unite politically along federal and more democratic lines. Originating within Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, the organisation operates offices in Munich, London, Brussels, Budapest and Lisbon.
History and Political Goals.
The PDU was founded in Munich in 2013. It is run mainly by students and has branches in London, Brussels, Budapest and Lisbon. Its President and co-founder, Brendan Simms, is Professor of the History of International Relations at Cambridge University. The Project for Democratic Union makes the case for a full political union of the Eurozone along federal lines. All its contributors are volunteers coming from a variety of nationalities and professional backgrounds. Its main focus is on students and young professionals.
Supporters.
A number of high-profile European politicians, academics and public figures have endorsed the project and support it with their work. These are notably the former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Javier Solana, the Italian politician Giorgio La Malfa, the British academic Lord Anthony Giddens, the German politician and academic Gesine Schwan, as well as the Hungarian academic and politician Péter Balázs, and Jiří Pehe from the Czech Republic. 
Statement of Principles.
Preamble.
The dire state of the Eurozone and the growing sense of disenfranchisement across the continent threaten the peace of the continent.
First, there are unmistakable signs of extremism within member states – most recently exemplified by the rise of an openly neo-Nazi party in Greece.
Secondly, because the weakness of Europe renders her unfit to deal with pressing external challenges, especially dealing with undemocratic states such as Iran, Russia, and a rising China.
Thirdly, because the economic imbalance between Germany and the European periphery poisons political discourse so that what was intended to unite now increasingly divides us.
The solution to these problems, Europe's 'democratic deficit', and her failure to address the current currency crisis can only be a 'federal' one and must be owned by the entire population of the Union democratically expressed. This is the only structure which will enable Europeans to mobilize in pursuit of their collective endeavors rather than against each other, and which will integrate Germany economically and militarily into the larger whole, without disenfranchising either the German people or any other population of the Union.
