PETITION FROM THE MEMBERS OF STAND UP OF EUROPE TO ITS PRESIDENT MR. RICHARD LAUB
Final supporters
- considering what happened at the last General Assembly of Stand up for Europe in Munich on the occasion of the election of a new executive board which was postponed, officially for absence of fair democratic procedures but, in reality, because the former President of our Association had refused to establish an electoral committee before the elections (as the majority of the board responsibly asked) it being impossible otherwise to check the enormous number of proxies, the last minute subscriptions and the identity of all the persons;
- considering that at the Convention some questions were directly addressed to the President Mr. Richard Laub during the “questions time” by some members about certain students and members having their travel and hotel expenses paid in order to attend the Convention and that these questions remained and still remain without his answers;
- considering that after the Assembly the Electoral Committee, appointed and nominated by the General Assembly in order to solve these problems, was forced to stop its activity including the resignation of its President and members because any attempt to achieve an agreement for ensuring fair, transparent and democratic elections was boycotted and even legally challenged by Mr. Laub, breaking the independence that this Committee needed in order to accomplish its objectives;
- considering that he is every day, behind the scenes, threatening the executive board and part of the co-founders of the Stand up for Europe association with a legal challenge;
-
considering that a President should be a
representative, fair, helpful, transparent, honorable and friendly
figure of a citizens grassroots movement, on every occasion ready
and resolute in order to fulfill any request and question coming
from the members and that we need this kind of figure at the top of
our association;

The momentum behind this petition proves that our members are fed up with the blatant corruption of Richard Laub. He thinks he can hide behind legal threats and silence while sabotaging our democratic processes but this surge shows the truth is finally coming to light.

So sad a situation, but Richard Laub leaved no alternative, it is very unfortunate. Let's go to vote ( by E-voting) for a new dedicated board, who will respect all democratic principles. Stand up for Europe have to give the exemple !
VERGOGNA. This is not the way to lead a movement for Europe. We need transparency now or we are just as bad as the people we criticize.
Richard needs to step down immediately. The way things were handled at the convention is totally unacceptable and hurts our credibility with everyone.
Hi, I just signed. Two comments: Under my name, it notes "United Kingdom" and not Germany. Secondly, I am directed to a pay pal side where I get asked to give personal data and a donation. I think that this could be part of the reason why participation is so relatively low. Peter
BASTA PERSONALISMI. BASTA LOTTE PER IL POTERE. BASTA CON LA ARROGANZA DI POCHI. È SEMPLICEMENTE CRIMINALE AFFONDARE NELLA MELMA DEL CONFLITTO BASATO SUL NULLA, UN PROGETTO MIRABILE COME È STANDUP EUROP. NON POSSIAMO PERMETTERLO
Exactly.
I wholeheartedly agree with the request for Mr. laub to resign

Our organisation can not claim to defend democracy if it accepts such behaviour!
