EMPOWER EUROPE

Reindustrialize Europe. Arm it.
Govern its demographic future.

Empower Europe is an independent initiative committed to restoring Europe's power.

We believe that a continent which cannot produce, cannot defend, and cannot reproduce, is a continent in decline. Sovereignty is not a moral concept. It is a matter of capacity. We choose to act on three fronts — the only ones that matter.

Reindustrialize Europe. Europe has dismantled its productive base. While the United States subsidized, and China planned, Europe outsourced and deconstructed. The result: strategic dependence on others for energy, rare metals, semiconductors, and basic industrial goods. We advocate a reversal. That means public intervention, long-term planning, and repatriation of key industries. Not de-risking but re-owning.

Arm it. Europe is a military dwarf in a world of empires. It relies on American protection, Turkish border control, and occasional French deployments. It speaks of values but lacks the weapons to defend them. We demand a return to force. That means military budgets aligned with strategic goals, territorial defence, and control over our own deterrence. Without armed sovereignty, there is no political sovereignty.

Govern its demographic future. Europe is aging, shrinking, and disoriented. It neither supports birth, nor defends its borders, nor integrates effectively. It looks at demography as a threat or a taboo and never as a project. We believe Europe must decide who it is and who will inherit it. This requires natalist policies, educational investment, and selective migration under political control. A demographic future is not something one observes. It is something one governs.

Poland embodies what should be the new military ambition for every European country

In response to the war in Ukraine, growing tensions with Russia, and certain disagreements with the United States, Poland has recently undertaken a vast rearmament program to strengthen its military capabilities. At Empower Europe, we believe that the dynamism of Poland's rearmament is the best example for all European countries whose military sovereignty is threatened both by their historical allies and other belligerents.
