Co je MERA25?
MERA25 je společný název všech národních politických stran DiEM25, které nám umožňují účastnit se přímo voleb. Nejsme totiž jen hnutím radikálních myšlenek. Jde nám také o uvádění těchto myšlenek do praxe.
Tyto strany se velmi liší od starých stran, které mají nahradit. Každé zásadní rozhodnutí týkající se strany MERA25 – od jejího založení přes program až po kandidátní listinu – podléhá hlasování všech našich členů. Ať už žijí kdekoli a mají jakýkoli pas. Je to skutečný internacionalismus v akci.
V současné době máme tři strany MERA25: v Řecku, v Německu a v Itálii. Více informací o nich se dozvíte níže.
