Nation and Historical Continuity
The nation is an intergenerational historical community, and European peoples have a legitimate interest in maintaining cultural and historical continuity.
Positions
Where Catholic moral teaching is clear, Restore Europa generally adopts it as the moral baseline, and states civil-law implementation separately. One departure is recorded explicitly: on capital punishment Restore Europa takes the older traditional allowance for exceptional cases rather than the contemporary abolitionist position.
The catalogue distinguishes the constitutional order Restore Europa seeks from European law as it currently stands. Several positions — on nationality, on deprivation of citizenship, on speech, on the public standing of religion and on capital punishment — would require constitutional or treaty change before they could be enacted in particular European states. Where that is so, the entry says it.
Version 0.2 settles the questions version 0.1 had left open: the European institutional relationship, asylum, deportation, wages, taxation, pensions, housing, labour representation, digital identity and currency, biometric surveillance, genetic engineering, sentencing, the energy mix and every standing question of foreign policy. Where a v0.2 formulation revised an earlier entry, the newer text governs.
Version 0.3 adds the remigration and enforcement cluster. It distinguishes citizenship, residence status, criminal deportation, asylum return and nationality review rather than treating remigration as a single undifferentiated power, and it is drafted as proposed constitutional and statutory policy, with current European and international law noted separately in each entry. Two earlier entries — naturalization and the deportation of non-citizen criminal offenders — are consolidated into the newer formulations rather than being duplicated beside them.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require. Positions are revised as the movement decides; the version and date above say which text you are reading.

III
Membership of a political community, and the European order between nations.
The nation is an intergenerational historical community, and European peoples have a legitimate interest in maintaining cultural and historical continuity.
Protection should facilitate self-sufficiency rather than permanent welfare dependency.
Citizenship requires a substantially higher standard than ordinary residence or integration: successful assimilation into the national political community.
The highest offices of the nation are reserved for citizens with a birth, descent and historical connection to the country rather than acquired citizenship alone.
Integration means demonstrable linguistic, civic, economic and social incorporation into the receiving nation; residence alone is insufficient.
Return policy uses a hybrid enforcement model: identification and removal detention where necessary, followed by restricted temporary status if removal remains temporarily impossible, with continued efforts to establish nationality and secure readmission.
VI
What is transmitted to the next generation, and who decides it.
Languages, dialects, festivals, music, cuisine and craftsmanship should remain living parts of ordinary life rather than museum pieces.
