The Freedom Movement (Slovene: Gibanje Svoboda), formerly known as the Green Actions Party (Slovene: Stranka zelenih dejanj; Z.DEJ) is a green Slovenian political party. Its founding congress took place on Saturday, May 8, 2021.[1] It was founded by Jure Leben, and its establishment was announced in January of the same year on the Studio City show.[2] The party is supposed to seek a balance between industrial progress and environmental preservation through environmental measures.[1]
Jure Leben was elected the first chairman and Gregor Erbežnik became the vice-chairman. The leadership elected 119 delegates.[3]
Party goals[]
The party's core values are supposed to be democracy, tolerance and respect. In his introductory speech, Jure Leben also mentioned the closure of Kemis, Eternit, Termite, Ekosistem, 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.[4][5] The party would also introduce a tax on sweetened beverages, non-recycled plastics, sustainable forms of transport, decentralization and decarbonisation of Slovenia. According to him, Slovenia should be able to rank among the 20 globally most competitive countries in the WEF criteria.[5]
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.[6]
