WHY ARE YOU A WORLD FEDERALIST?
I am a world federalist because I believe that in a globalized and interconnected world, the most pressing and urgent challenges—such as climate change, human rights, war, and economic inequality—transcend national borders and require coordinated global solutions. National governments alone struggle to address these complex issues effectively and cannot by themselves offer solutions
By promoting democratic governance at a global level, we can create a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
WHAT IS THE FUTURE YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS?
I am working towards a future where democracy and human rights are the foundation of a peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive global society. A world where the people, regardless of their nationality, have equal rights and opportunities, and where governance reflects our interconnected reality. A future where the decisions are made with an awareness that our actions have consequences beyond our own borders.
