The Travelling Assembly
Towards a permanent Peoples' Assembly for Europe
7. ‘Transparency is non negotiable’ - PRINCIPLE
[Please note this latest version was made public on 25 May 2025, after the final meeting (Link esterna) of the 2024/25 pilot Assembly]
Principle: If it affects us, we deserve to understand it. Complexity is no obstacle. Transparency is a prerequisite for participation, trust and accountability, and therefore of democracy. People themselves should be able to decide how much complexity and detail they want: the science, open data and arguments behind decisions must be publicly available. When politicians make decisions that affect all of us, whether about the economy, health, education or war and sacrifice, these should be widely debated with citizens within and across countries.
