MPPU International

The Politics for Unity Movement (MPPU) is an international network of politicians, ordinary citizens, diplomats and officials involved at various levels, administrators, academics, researchers, young people interested in political issues, of different inspiration and parties, who wish to respond, on a personal and collective level, to the great questions that humanity faces today, recognizing in universal fraternity the content and the specific method of their political commitment. It started in 1996 and developed in response to democratic crises in many countries. Today it is established in Europe, Latin America and Africa, and is being established in Asia, the Middle East and North America. As a “laboratory” of political thought and practice, it proposes political innovation, advocacy and cooperation with national and international institutions, training courses for young people and political actors and processes of cooperation between peoples, cities, institutions, states, for the promotion and care of common goods and the common good. It is inspired by the ideals and experience of the Focolare Movement. Since 2020, the MPPU has been the political department of the International New Humanity Association, an NGO that has general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and is an official partner of UNESCO. MPPU coordinates its own strategic plan with the aims and activities expressed in Articles 2 and 3 of its Statute.
