Many Europeans are looking ahead to the next elections with great concern, whether they be regional, national or European. And the prospect of nationalist, anti-European and undemocratic parties gaining further ground is making quite a few people's hair stand on end. Ave Europa, a new European political movement, wants to prevent another victory for anti-European and undemocratic parties. It wants to offer conservatives, liberals and centre-right voters who are dissatisfied with current economic, energy and migration policies a European and democratic alternative. Below is an interview with Nikodem Skrobisz, co-founder of the German branch of Ave Europa, who is also responsible for the organisation's communications.

Nothing is more difficult for me than writing a few lines about myself. Yet there is quite a lot to report, especially in a small online magazine with a European focus. During the 2009 European elections, I had the privilege of representing the trans-European citizens' movement Newropeans at the top of the list in Germany. Politically speaking, it was the most exciting time of my life, but also the most exhausting. It was, so to speak, my political ‘great achievement’, which cost me a lot of time, energy, nerves and money. I have no regrets.
