The party presents itself as an alliance of "
Left,
Green, and
Liberal Greeks", standing on the grounds of
European internationalism,
economic rationality, and
social emancipation. It plans to introduce a "European
Green New Deal" to solve the
postmodern version of the
Great Depression.
14 Points of Dialogue and Political Axes MeRA25 MeRA25’s framework outlines the party’s current programmatic priorities as follows: •
Taxes and Cost of Living: Radical reforms to the tax system and measures against oligopolistic price-setting to benefit all income groups. •
Energy: Immediate abolition of the Energy Exchange and creation of a public, decentralized, socialized system of green energy production and distribution. •
Environment and Extractives: Ban on
hydrocarbon extraction, protection of natural and public spaces, and no new onshore
wind farms. •
Workplace Democracy: Strengthening
collective bargaining and promoting cooperative ownership models (“one share – one worker – one vote”). Ensuring that workers have a direct voice and equal decision-making power in the management and profits of their workplace. •
Housing: Abolishing the “Hercules” scheme, creating a public body for non-performing loans, and establishing a Social Housing Authority ensuring affordable, secure housing and protection from predatory banking practices. •
Public Health and Education: Citizen-led governance of health and education, with permanent hirings beyond austerity restrictions. •
Public Media: Citizen-led governance of state media through councils of randomly selected citizens and elected representatives, along with strengthened independent authorities, ensures quality, fairness, and journalistic independence. •
Democratic Sovereignty:
Socialisation and public ownership of key state institutions such as the Independent Authority for Public Revenue,
ELSTAT, the Hellenic Corporation of Assets and Participations, and the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund. •
Public Payments and Banking: Creation of a free public digital payments system and a public agricultural-development bank to end private banking monopolies, lower transaction costs, improve access to credit for farmers and small enterprises, and support rural economic development. •
Foreign Policy: Closure of foreign military bases, disengagement from
NATO, withdrawal from regional military extractive alliances, and promotion of peace in the region helping reassert national sovereignty, reduce involvement in foreign conflicts, limit military entanglements driven by resource interests, and promote a peaceful role for Greece in regional and international affairs. •
Gender and LGBTQ+ Rights: Protection from gender-based and domestic violence and opposition to mandatory joint custody ensuring the safety and rights of women and LGBTQ+ individuals, preventing abuse on the basis of sexuality and gender and protecting victims from being forced into harmful custody arrangements. •
Refugee and Migrant Rights: Full protection of asylum rights and opposition to violence at borders and deaths at sea ensuring that refugees and migrants can safely exercise their right to seek asylum, free from violence, pushbacks, or life-threatening conditions at borders and at sea. •
Basic Income: Guarantee of food and housing as the first step toward a dignified
universal basic income ensuring that every resident’s basic needs are met, reducing poverty and insecurity. •
Security: Ensure the safety and well-being of citizens through public services and protections rather than through authoritarian measures or militarisation. Defined not by repression but by effective civil protection, strong public health care, accessible public transport, and non-involvement in wars.
