Project 2025 authors are providing a closed-door workshop of discussion for right-wing groups in Europe to shape their united stand against the EU. We don’t know the invitation-list, but as Yorkshirebylines reports on this:
"It is known to have featured contributions from two prominent right-wing organisations: Hungary’s largest private educational institution with a Brussels-based thinktank, Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), and the Polish Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture.
All three groups present are highly connected to the political leadership of their respective countries, and they all have something in common: a firm belief in reducing the role of government, controlling the judiciary and installing a conservative religious approach in terms of access to reproductive healthcare for women, divorce and same-sex marriage."
Obtained invitation that goes over the proposals talked about:
VSquare mainly focus on preventing a rise in populism in Europe and report a lot on Turkey and Hungary, about Russian influence, and as we can see here, about American right’s attempt at influence. According to themselves, they are Polish, and operate as a collaborative non-profit investigative journalist center.
“the two Central European organizations reported connections to Russian influence add another layer of scrutiny. While Ordo Iuris leaders have denied pro-Russian affiliations, the organization has long engaged with networks that promote Kremlin-aligned narratives, including Agenda Europe and the World Congress of Families – a group linked to Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev. (VSquare has published multiple investigations into the international network-building of Ordo Iuris,” VSquare adds with links on the page leading to their investigations)
On behalf of almost everyone almost everywhere, no thanks.
What began as a vision of free trade and peaceful coexistence has morphed into an institution shaping nearly all aspects of governance in Europe, centralizing power at the expense of national sovereignty.
The European Coal and Steel Community was the first step on what became the European Union, not the initial vision for its end state.

I am now going to say something that will astonish you. The first step in the recreation of the European Family must be a partnership between France and Germany. In this way only can France recover the moral and cultural leadership of Europe. There can be no revival of Europe without a spiritually great France and a spiritually great Germany. The structure of the United States of Europe, if well and truly built, will be such as to make the material strength of a single state less important. Small nations will count as much as large ones and gain their honour by their contribution to the common cause. The ancient states and principalities of Germany, freely joined together for mutual convenience in a federal system, might take their individual places among the United States of Europe.
I must now sum up the propositions which are before you. Our constant aim must be to build and fortify the strength of the United Nations Organization. Under and within that world concept we must recreate the European Family in a regional structure called, it may be, the United States of Europe. And the first practical step would be to form a Council of Europe. If at first all the States of Europe are not willing or able to join the Union, we must nevertheless proceed to assemble and combine those who will and those who can. The salvation of the common people of every race and of every land from war or servitude must be established on solid foundations and must be guarded by the readiness of all men and women to die rather than submit to tyranny. In all this urgent work, France and Germany must take the lead together. Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America and I trust Soviet Russia-for then indeed all would be well-must be the friends and sponsors of the new Europe and must champion its right to live and shine. Therefore I say to you: let Europe arise!»
---- Winston Churchill, Zurich, September 19, 1946
Churchill was talking about a federal system analogous to the United States of America back in 1946.
Can we please designate them as unconstitutional organisations and ban them from operating in the EU?

It’s an umbrella organisation for neoliberal thinktanks coming up with such brilliant takes as the nanny-state rating where you’re getting freedom demerits for taxing tobacco. They’re also the ones (well, the UK branch is) behind Brexit, due to incoming EU regulations on tax havens.
Europe as an American I’m telling you that this isn’t what you want. It’s bad over here. Seriously please stop the facists. This is seriously what our dear leader posted on Easter.
Did they honestly fucking call this paper “The Great Reset”?
