追念汪平雲

Bruno Kaufmann｜President, IRI-Europe
I met Ping-yun the first time at the TFD Symposium on Initiatives and Referendums in October 2003 in Taipei . In him, I  did meet a person with an enormous and rich knowledge as well as an uncommon sensibility for the needs of modern democracy. I got the  honor to be the host and guide for Pingyun and his colleagues in 2004 when studying the practice of direct democracy in Europe . Pingyun was not only an excellent scientist and creative democrat, but also one of the finest friends on the other side of the globe. I will miss him and hope that we all will be ready and capable to follow-up his wish to make a truly democratic country and member of the world society.

Dear Friend,

Over the last few years, we embarked together with a team of remarkable Taiwanese people on a journey of direct democracy, with the goal of emulating our Initiative and Referendum Institute-Europe and US friends (IRI-Europe and IRI-US) and bring their wonderful direct democracy expertise to the people of Taiwan, so that they too be empowered to correct the obvious deficiencies of representative democracy.
