The 39th Congress of the Nonviolent Radical Party, Transnational and Transparty is officially confirmed for February 17-20 in Chianciano (Italy). In another message all organizational and logistical information will be forwarded.

To convene our Congress with such a short notice has been a difficult choice, considered the structural weaknesses of the party. However, it was a necessary choice – a decision that we owe, first and foremost, to the many representatives of oppressed and non represented peoples, and to the many nonviolent activists and leaders, who in the last decades have trusted the Party and have demostrated to be interested and believe in the political project and reality it represent.

Indeed, we need to update and to propose, again and more strongly, the tools and goals of political nonviolence, of democratic hope, of the universal affirmation of human rights, of European and world
federalism as alternatives to the degeneration of liberal democracies towards “real democracies”, to the persistent illusion of absolute national sovereignty as a political response to current crisis, and to
the eventual systematic cancellation of human rights that have been historically acquired and are now perceived as “natural”.

In the next 48 hours, you will receive the political convening letter that explains the reasons and the objectives of the 39th Congress, and why it was urgent to convene it in this way. Meanwhile, by this
notice, we kindly ask you to be ready from now, in your country, in your town, within your movement or association and with your friends, to circulate this invitation in order to have the highest possible
number of significant participants in the Congress.

As for us, we will politically and financially do our utmost to ensure to every participant the best logistical conditions we will be able hope to obtain.

I Thank you very much in advance for all you will be able to do!

Kindly confirm your participation by answering to this e-mail.

I shall Look forward to meeting in Chianciano on 17th February.

Fraternal greetings and best wishes for the new year!

Yours,

Marco Pannella
