For Decent Slovakia initiative launches mobilisation campaign for EP elections

Around a hundred young people from across Slovakia, led by the For Decent Slovakia initiative, set out on a journey to Brussels on Monday in order to stimulate interest among youth in the European Union by visiting the capital of the EU and participating in the final European Parliament session to take place in Brussels before the May EP elections. "Our journey is designed to launch our mobilisation campaign ahead of the EP elections under the title 'We Choose Europe'," said Juraj Seliga of the initiative. The campaign is focused on increasing awareness as to why the EU and membership of it are so important for Slovakia and to point to opportunities for ordinary people to become active co-creators of the EU's public policies.
