Libertas is a new European movement dedicated to campaigning for greater democratic accountability and transparency in the institutions of the EU and developing innovative policies which can benefit Europe and foster a more positive relationship between those institutions and the citizens for whom they legislate. It campaigned for Ireland to vote No in the Referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, June 2008. Libertas gained formal pan-EU political group status in February 2009. After failing to gain any seats in the 2009 European Parliament elections Libertas faded, but came back to life in the latter stages of the campaign for the second referendum in Ireland on the Treaty of Lisbon, October 2009. |
