D66 Doetinchem in English

D66 (Democrats 1966) is a Dutch progressive liberal party that strives towards a society with freedom for everyone, but nobody left behind.

Our ideology

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.
