| Brief profile: | The Citizen's Movement is a non-profit association established in 1989. Its objectives are: •to promote the values of civil society •to emphasize the role of the citizen as an individual actor of political life and as an active participant in the function of a modern political system •the creation of a tribune of essential dialogue between active citizens and political leadership. Within this framework the Citizen's Movement underlines problems and dysfunctions of the state and of the political system, criticizes political decisions, elaborates proposals aiming at the modernisation of Greek society and of political parties thus promoting essential convergence with the other Member states of the European Union. Main characteristics of the Citizens Movement are: •independence from political parties •collective administration and decision making •spherical and open approach to the subjects it engages in The creation of the Citizen's Movement was inspired by the following: •Voting once every four years is not enough for a harmonious functioning of the political system, society and the state. •Political parties and public administration cannot and should not be solely responsible for the future of the country and its development. •Lack of empowerment leads citizens to sentiments of disappointment and apathy concerning what should be done politically and socially. This in turn leads to a presumption of arbitrariness and corruption in public life. |
