Ordo Iuris and Mathias Corvinus Collegium propose reforms to the European Union to restore national sovereignty and individual freedoms. The report offers two scenarios: one based on reforms to EU Treaties, the other on dissolving the EU and restarting cooperation from scratch. Key principles include national sovereignty, intergovernmental cooperation, and subsidiarity. The report critiques the EU’s growing bureaucracy, undermining national sovereignty, and the imposition of progressive ideologies.
Introduction:
On March 11, 2025, two European think tanks, the Polish Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture and the Hungarian Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), presented a newly published report at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. The report proposes a reform of the European Union aimed at protecting the individual freedom of citizens in EU Member States, the democratic principles, accountability of governing institutions, and the sovereignty of EU Member States. This is the first positive proposal for comprehensive changes to the structure and functioning of the European Union, which could be considered an alternative to the growing push by European bureaucratic elites toward centralization of power in the EU.
The report, titled “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the European Union,” constitutes a counterproposal to the European Parliament resolution of November 22, 2023, which calls for 267 changes to the European Treaties. If implemented, this resolution would transform the EU into a centralized superstate, remove decision-making further from citizens, and deprive EU countries of the right to self-determination.
The counter-project drafted by Ordo Iuris and the MCC acknowledges, too, the urgent need for radical change in the functioning of the European Union. However, it provides a different diagnosis of the main flaws of the current model and suggests an alternative resolution to the issues afflicting Europe, in contrast to the views of EU bureaucrats.
