What is the difference we want to make?
C O N T E N T
Our aim is a Hungary…
- where our welfare is guaranteed not by destruction of natural systems and at the expense of future generations, but by taking into account ecological limitations, and in cooperation with natural processes;
- in which all citizens – in both towns and countryside – can live in a healthy, attractive environment, and which also makes this possible for our descendants;
- which cooperates with its neighbours to protect its inhabitants and natural systems from pollution from beyond the borders, while taking a responsible role in remedying global ecological problems;
- where we know what we eat and can be sure of the good quality of food;
- where transport and energy management operate with consideration and responsibility for our health and the future of our planet;
- which is not drifting around European integration on the lookout for subsidies but is an initiator, an active player in our broader home, the European Union, seeking to attain the aims of justice and sustainability for which the power of individual nation-states is not enough;
- in which we put a stop to poverty incompatible with human dignity, and to the passing down of poverty from one generation to the next;
- in which no group is excluded from the world of work and social cooperation;
- in which everyone has high-quality access to basic common goods and public services, and in which everyone enjoys the basic security provided by solidarity with the community and has a chance to develop his/her personality and abilities;
- in which the measure of political success is not only the growth of economic performance, but also the just distribution of values created;
- where the basis of increased performance is not the increasing use of raw materials and natural resources, but improving employment and human resources;
- in which democratic politics is not a power struggle between unapproachable, closed groups, but consists of transparent debate and decision-making, open to scrutiny by everyone;
- in which the players of the economy compete with one another on the basis of just and predictable rules, which favour nobody;
- where governance is characterised by transparency, responsibility and long-term thinking, instead of a tangle of secrets, a lack of accountability, preferential treatment of clientele and chasing after short-lived political advantages;
- where pseudo debates in the public sphere give way to substantial discussion of core issues,
- where democrats of different political colours rush as one to defend their basic freedoms, political rights and public institutions whenever they are attacked.
In order to realise these aims we are putting forward seven intrinsically related action programmes. These are:
- The Social Integration Programme:
we want to live in a country where everybody counts - The Sustainable Rural Areas Programme:
we want to live in a country with a future for rural areas - The Participation, Transparency and Honest Public Life Programme:
we want to live in a country where words and deeds have consequences - The Predictable Economic Policy, Prudent Budget Policy, Less Red Tape Programme
we want to live in a country where life is not about bending rules - The Good Governance Programme
we want to live in a country where the state takes good care of our common goods - The Life Quality, Health and Sustainability Programme
we want to live, not just survive, in this country - The Together with Europe for a Future-friendly World Programme
we want to live in a country which takes responsibility for the rest of the world
