".
We cannot support this attempt to build a political and parliamentary sphere in the European Union from above. The EU elite believes European political parties will solve legitimacy problems and support integration, but the opposite is likely to happen. There will be conflicts between the rights of national political parties and European political parties since they have to be active within the same 'political space' (There is no European political space which exists in no-man's-land above the national territories).
The citizens in the Member States, who are supposed to contribute tax money to the proposed European parties, will view these as artificial bodies intended to reduce the influence of the national parties and to impose political integration from the top down. Democracy must be built from the bottom up, not the other way around.
We strongly recommend that the proposal be withdrawn."@en1
