What we believe in

Want to learn more about D66?
Take a look at our five core values:

We trust people’s own strength and their personal development. That is why we are optimistic about the future. People are creative and always find solutions on their own. We want the government to support and provide room for this power, resourcefulness, and creativity. The key to change lies with people themselves, and we want the government to
align itself with this.

The open mind that goes with thinking and acting internationally enables you to deal with borders without ignoring them. Differences are beautiful, because they give colour to life and the world. We want every human being, regardless of their background, beliefs, gender or sexuality, anywhere in the world, to have the freedom to be different. We pursue this freedom for all because we are all different.

All human beings are equal, but they are not the same, and we want a government that provides the freedom for those differences to
flourish. We want as many people as possible to be economically independent, and we believe in rewarding those who excel. We
aspire to a dynamic, open society in which everyone is free to make their own decisions and develop in their own way.

We want to approach the world with respect and compassion. That applies to the people around us and to our environment. The earth is
neither our personal property nor an expendable consumer good. We wish to end the depletion and pollution of our environment. We feel that, in the discussion about the environment, the burden of proof
should shift from having to argue for preservation to offering arguments
for exploitation.

The central values of our society are freedom and equality for everyone, regardless of belief, religion, sexual orientation, political views, or
ethnicity. Physical safety, non-violent solutions to conflicts of interest, and the respectful exercise of freedom of expression, as well as good governance and the rule of law, form our core values. These values are universal and paramount. We defend fundamental rights, both at home and abroad.
