EXTRAS

  • Pirate Party of France is a well established Pirate Party with a thousand members and the support of 2 to 3% of the voters in areas where we have the money to support a real campaign. Our party conferences have more than a hundred attendees.
  • We will have the European Parliament elections and 3 different French elections in 2014, hosting this international pirate conference could be a sign that the pirate movement is rising in Europe and a good opportunity for PP-FR to be heard in the middle of an "empty" political year in France.
  • Holding the conference in Paris will allow most Pirate Parties to attend the conference.
  • Paris is the most visited city in the world and French girls wines, brandy and food are the finest in the world.
  • Pirate Party of France has worked a lot on financial transparency and is telling its members informed of how much is spent and what for. (We do not publish the identity of our members or donors, but we only accept money from individual citizens, and no more than 7.500€ a year.) We will be fully transparent about the money we get and spend, and we dedicate a full post of the planning team to this subject.
  • Pirate Party of France agrees to sign financial engagements with the PPI, and will never spend any money without prior control and approval from the PPI board. Any money collected for the GA and not spent that way will be returned to the PPI within a maximum given delay (1 or 2 month for example).
  • Pirate Party of France is capable of hosting a PPI General Assembly next spring and did not throw the towel pretending it was not possible.

We count on getting financial help from the administration of the Republic of Tatarstan and are working on inviting local sponsors. We also have peolpe who will help us organise cultural events and fun. Video
