The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), created in 2009, should have empowered genuine transnational political participation in the EU. Yet, the troubled journy of an ECI aiming to create an unconditional basic income in the EU suggests otherwise. First, the EU Commission refused to register it. When it was launched, it failed to garner one million signatures. We refelect with legal and political science scholars and a board member of the UBI Initiative which first launched it.
