Happy Birthday Pirate Parties International !

We are delighted to share that this weekend marks 11 years since the founding of Pirate Parties International! A little bit about the history: After the founding of Piratpartiet in Sweden on January 1, 2006, other pirate parties emerged throughout Europe, and later worldwide.

In 2008, further conferences followed in Berlin and Uppsala and the “Uppsala Declaration” was adopted. Since October 2009, the PPI has the status …
