Our values

Our values

Vision and Ambition

We have a clear vision for the future: a united island of prosperity and social justice, in a united and strong Europe. Our ambition is to become the political force that will be the catalyst for the great changes our society needs.

Commitment to the goal

We consider all our goals important and we are judged by our success or failure to achieve them.

Partnerships and alliances

We are here to help improve the political system and will work with individuals, citizens' groups, movements and parties with whom we find convergence on the major issues of our country and Europe.

Consistency and Flexibility

Our values are non-negotiable. However, our priorities and positions on various issues are a set of beliefs and opinions that we can discuss, expand and adjust accordingly.

Productivity and Pragmatism

We are outcome-oriented, and therefore aim to produce policies on the basis of rationality, optimal productivity and pragmatism.

Justice and Inclusion

All citizens are equal before the law, enjoy equal rights and have equal responsibilities. We are open to any citizen who accepts, respects and can represent our values and positions. We leave no room for hegemonism, racism, sexism or any other form of discrimination, both in our own political organisation and in society at large.

Transparency and Good Governance

We operate in such a way that everyone inside and outside our party can monitor and control our actions. We have nothing to hide and are proud of what we do.

Peace and Democracy

We uphold democratic and human rights, and strive for transparency, pluralism, and equal opportunities for all, in an environment of global peace and disarmament.

Altruism and Social Welfare

While we care about individual prosperity, we place particular emphasis on issues that impact the greater good, and that strengthen social welfare and inclusion structures.

Science and Technological Advancement

We encourage the use of science and continuous technological advancement in all aspects of human activity, for the benefit of the environment, citizens, entrepreneurship and productivity.
