The People's Movement against the EU ((デンマーク語:Folkebevægelsen mod EU)) is a political association in Denmark against the European Union. It was founded in 1972 as a cross-party campaign platform for a 'no' vote in Denmark's referendum on EEC membership. It currently has one member in the European Parliament. The movement has approximately 3500 personal members, as well as collective members such as political parties, NGOs and trade unions (mostly local branches). The individual members are organised in about 100 local branches.〔(The Organization ), People's Movement〕 ==Policies== The primary objective of the movement is to withdraw the country from the EU and rejoin the European Free Trade Association, unlike some other euro-sceptic organisations which hope to be able to reform or downgrade the EU. According to the movement, it supports democracy, sustainable development and increased cooperation in organisations like the United Nations, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Council of Europe and the Nordic Council.〔(Our goals and the Danish situation ), People's Movement (in English)〕 It strongly opposes the Lisbon treaty and has campaigned for a Danish referendum on the EU Constitution. The People's Movement against the EU is a cross-party movement. It does not regard itself a political party and claims to be non-affiliated to the traditional left/right-scale, hence it does not contest national parliamentary or local elections. Its traditional base is found among left-wingers and trade union members, but there are also non-partisans and non-socialist members, e.g., from the Social Liberal Party, the Social Democrats, the Conservative Party, the Green Party and the small georgeist liberal Justice Party. The movement aims at a cooperation with other political forces, although it has distanced itself from the right-wing eurosceptical Danish People's Party. The term ''People's Movement'' (another possible translation is ''Popular Movement'') is common in Denmark and does not hint at socialism, but rather means 'broad movement for a common cause'. Several Danish parties label themselves popular parties (''folkeparti''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People's Movement against the EU」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
