The value of freedom, equality, justice, and social solidarity takes on meaning with the continuous modernization of the institutions of the political system.

Citizens must be at the center of political processes, have direct access to power, promote their interests, and breathe life into participatory democracy. Only in this way can the cohesion of society be ensured, a prerequisite for the free development of human personality and the welfare of citizens.

In our demanding times, we must seek new means to safeguard human freedom and enhance autonomy. The spread of modern technology creates enormous possibilities, but it is also accompanied by risks that we must effectively control. We need new perceptions and new policies for this.

To the question of whether democratic socialism maintains its supremacy in the age of globalization, the answer can only be positive. Socialism is an ongoing process that aims at the continuous improvement of human daily life, progress. Socialism is capable of providing solutions to the complex problems of our time, promoting European integration, and contributing to the peace and cooperation of nations.
