European Young Christian Democrats
"To approach the problems of minority groups, we,
as Christian Democrats believe the following:
i) We think that our political action should be based upon
the fact that every individual has something to offer society;
ii) Regardless of the nature of each person's contribution,
every individual is of equal worth and should be treated
as such, irrespective of race, creed, sex, etc;
iii) Every person within his/her community has the responsibility
to protect the rights of others within that community.
WE MUST STRIVE TO ELIMINATE RACISM, INTOLERANCE
AND POVERTY
["Ethnic Minorities, Racism, Intolerance and Poverty",
Study Session, EYC, 1991]
UNITED for Intercultural Action
"All European countries have been experiencing a rise
in racism and xenophobia due to economic recession, unemployment
and social and cultural marginalisation. In this context there
has been an increasing temptation to find scapegoats for these
problems, such as blacks, immigrants, refugees, foreigners
and ethnic minorities. Governments which question the Right
of Asylum encourage demagogic xenophobia by looking for scapegoats.
As anti-racist militants in Europe, we demand that economical,
political and social problems be treated at their source.
We commit ourselves to coordinate our efforts to build
the Europe that we want:
A Europe based on Citizenship and equal rights for all
its inhabitants.
A Europe involved in the defence of Human Rights, respecting
the Right of Asylum, and combatting all forms of discrimination.
A Europe which acknowledges its richness and is open to
cooperation and solidarity between its people.
