The Freedom Movement (Slovene: Gibanje Svoboda), formerly known as the Green Actions Party (Slovene: Stranka zelenih dejanj; Z.DEJ), is a green-liberal political party in Slovenia. Its founding congress took place on Saturday, 8 May 2021.[6] It was founded by Jure Leben, and its establishment was announced in January of the same year on the Studio City show.[7] The party seeks a balance between industrial progress and environmental preservation through environmental measures.[6]
Jure Leben was elected the first chairman and Gregor Erbežnik became the vice-chairman. The leadership elected 119 delegates.[8]
Party goals
The party's core values are democracy, tolerance and respect. In his introductory speech, Jure Leben also mentioned the closure of Kemis, Eternit, Termite, Ekosistem,[clarification needed] the regulation of drinking water in Anhovo, the closure of the Velenje coal mine, the protection of forests and the declaration of an ecological crisis.[9][10] The party would also introduce a tax on sweetened beverage and non-recycled plastics, while promoting sustainable forms of transport, decentralization and decarbonisation of Slovenia. According to Leben, Slovenia should be able to rank among the 20 globally most competitive countries in the World Economic Forum criteria.[10]
As social measures, the party points out publicly available health care and the increase in the number of employees, the reform of the education system and the digitalisation of schools.[11]
