We have a big problem with nationalism in the european left memberparties - not so much inside the normal members - but of course at the funcional level. So there is no will to step forward to an unitied european party because that means delivery of power and more democracy. But its no new discussion... its at least 100 years old. Anyway to change something we have to focus not only at the board or the boards of the national parties. The national parties focus each mainly on their national level and revolve around themselves. The way to starting up a network of european members from the bottom is still the right one, but we are not so much inside the national parties with our proposals. The actual "real democracy now" protests in the different countries all over europe could be a connection for an active european left that is not only existing on a bureaucratic level. If you write such a letter please sent it over our list.

The Executive Board are not in the slightest bit interested in developing individual membership.  The Left in Germany were supportive but have given up, the French Communists and Synpaspismos in Greece have been particularly against in the past any form of rights for individual members.

Since this congress the board had a lot of meetings around the globe during which never ever was the discussed the issue of our rights, the rights as Individual members in the Party. So finally (after being for years – since Athens - a member without any rights) I would ask you to send a letter from our side to the Board meeting asking to find urgently a solution and to involve us in this process / decision how the solutions should looks like. I personally stopped 9 months ago to pay my Party contribution (no rights - no obligations) but nobody is caring about that.
