The Commission argued for the first time that the initiative is manifestly contrary to the values of the Union under Article 2 of the TEU and made it clear that participatory democracy cannot be used to promote the “fight for remigration”. The decision has since been challenged before the General Court (Case T-621/26). More broadly, the decision extends the debate on the fundamental values to the realm of transnational participatory democracy.
