D66 Doetinchem in English

D66 traditionally positions itself between the progressive parties on the left and the conservative liberal parties on the right. As a social liberal party, D66 believes that freedom is the most important condition for happiness, but that freedom by no means comes naturally.
As a society, we must ensure that if you go to school and work hard, you get an honest shot at good work, your own house, and a beautiful future; regardless of your place of birth, what neighbourhood you went to school in, or the profession of your parents. We believe in a government that provides liberty and support to those in need.

Chosen in direct municipal elections every four years, D66 maintains a solid representation in the Doetinchem city council (4 councillors) and city executive board (1 alderman) as the 4th party. As such, D66 has a real impact on the direction of our community’s growth. The city council has a mandate of many issues of immediate, day-to-day relevance like social security, infrastructure and housing.

‘For the future’ is our program for the coming 4 years. You can read a summary here. Vote on 14, 15 or 16 March: D66.
