The party charter states that the DEM Party "assumes political responsibility for a new life and future, for the establishment of a democratic, libertarian, egalitarian, just, ecological, gender-equal and solidaristic society, with a pluralist, participatory and deliberative understanding of struggle; defending universal human rights without any discrimination, protecting the rights of nature and all living things, fighting against militarism" and that it is an ecologist, peaceful democratic political party in favor of labor and social justice. It proclaims that "our Party, where the forces that struggle together for these goals come together to eliminate all forms of oppression, exploitation and discrimination and to build a life worthy of human dignity, aims for a democratic people's rule." Following the 2023 elections, the party held a two-day conference in
Ankara under the slogan "With Change to Freedom". At the conference, Çiğdem Kılıçgün Uçar, co-spokesperson of the Green Left Party, defined the
Kurdish question as the most important problem in Turkey, and a matter of denial and annihilation. Uçar has also stated that
Abdullah Öcalan is "the most important actor for Turkey's democratization", claiming his "
absolute isolation" in
İmralı that has lasted for 24 years to be the biggest obstacle to democratization. Instead of the French
laique model of secularism with the complete exclusion of religion from politics and social life, the party promotes "liberal secularism" through activities such as the "Democratic Islam Desk", which is part of the party's
Peoples and Beliefs Commission. On 26 March 2023, the party issued a resolute declaration following its party assembly meeting, emphasizing its commitment to challenging the current one-man regime in Turkey and advocating for a democratic republic. The declaration advocates for the revolutionaries,
Alevis,
Kurds,
women, and youth to push for change and express their demands for their rights, education and housing. == Election results ==
