Democracy in Europe Movement 2025

The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) is a political initiative launched in 2016 aimed at reforming the European Union (EU) to make it more democratic and transparent. Founded by a group of intellectuals and activists, including former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, the movement advocates for social justice, human rights, and a sustainable economy across Europe. DiEM25 seeks to address issues like inequality and the democratic deficit within the EU, promoting policies that prioritize citizens' needs and foster greater participation in decision-making processes at both national and European levels.
