Joint Statement by European Pirates and Pirate Parties International on Putin’s Aggression Against Ukraine

The Pirates of Europe and the world strongly condemn the actions taken by Vladimir Putin. It’s with deep sorrow that we watch the events in Ukraine unfold, and our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, those suffering the consequences of this conflict, and those opposing the war inside of Russia. We hope for a swift and peaceful resolution to this conflict, and for the immediate end of all hostilities in the region. It is inherent for the Pirate movement to oppose war. Violence, and the motives behind them, are contrary to the ideals of freedom, democracy, cooperation, and the respect for human rights, which should be the foundations of …

Invite: Introduction to PPI Standing Committees

There are currently 5 PPI Standing Committees and as a group we will go through each one, explain its focus and have a discussion around what its individual tasks and goals should be. We hope that Pirates from the international community will actually join each committee and take control of its direction, as opposed to the board setting up individual sessions …

They run on a joint ticket together with the STAN party (Mayors and Independents) and with 15,6 % of the vote got 37 MPs in the 200-seat lower house.
