The most important thing is to promote cultural and linguistic diversity, which is the wealth of our continent, our history, our cities and territories.
The EU actions initiated in the 1990s must be continued and expanded. It is a question of contributing to the blossoming of the cultures of the Member States while respecting their national and regional diversity, while highlighting the common cultural heritage.

Every day, the PDE defends its ideas through various actions and puts forward its positions. For example:
In the European Parliament:

In our manifesto:
We have been defending these proposals for several years. They were already at the heart of our manifesto in 2009 and 2014.
