We are witnessing the end of the unipolar era. As the global order shifts toward a fragmented, multipolar reality, Europe faces a "sovereignty squeeze" between the systemic rivalry of the US and China. The urgency lies in preventing Europe from becoming a passive observer of its own destiny.
Strategic Repositioning: Europe must transition from a collection of middle powers into a cohesive Major Power.
The New West: We advocate for the formation of a "New West" - a resilient, rules-based alliance that secures democracy, supply chains, digital infrastructure, and energy independence against autocratic expansionism.
The current bureaucratic inertia of the EU is a strategic liability in a high-speed technological race. While global competitors move with accelerated speed in AI and Deep Tech, Europe is often stifled by over-regulation.
The Agile Union: We demand a radical shift toward a deregulated, security-focused, and subsidiary entity.
Security First: Institutional reform is no longer a luxury; it is a defensive requirement. We must pivot toward an EU that prioritizes hard security and economic agility, ensuring that technology serves to protect the unique cultural identities of European nations rather than homogenizing them.
We are entering the age of "Synthetic Reality." The proliferation of AI-driven disinformation, deepfakes, and algorithmic radicalization poses an existential threat to democratic cohesion. Young generations are the first to live in this "hybrid" reality, yet they remain vulnerable to cognitive warfare.
Digital Sovereignty: We must move beyond mere "literacy" toward Societal Resilience.
Tech-Optimism as Defense: By fostering a tech-optimistic, market-liberal generation, we build a "human firewall" against manipulation. EIFG empowers the youth to see AI not as a threat to their identity, but as a tool for European prosperity and the ultimate guardian of a free, sovereign society.
