AACEE Presentation's Statement
The AACEE stands for association of Masonic Liberal and Adogmatic Associations from Central and Eastern Europe.
The AACEE is particularly attached to the project of the European Construction and to the European Union as such.
THE AAECE grants a quite particular importance to Central and Eastern Europe, given its particular history during the 20th century and the recent membership of its countries to the European Union. The Freemasonry and the democracy in these countries are in reconstruction and require a particular attention.
The recent history shows us how much democracy can be fragile, even short-lived.
The AACEE aims to gather together the Liberal Masonic Obediences of the Central and Eastern Europe in order to promote the Values of Democracy, the support, the solidarity and the cohesion of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe within the European Union.
The AACEE, in the spirit of the declaration of the 22th April 2001 in Budapest, has as meaning the promotion and the protection of human values in order to maintain or to restore peace between man and mankind, and especially in the European space.
