Political party AD+PD launched its new graphic identity on Saturday – a stylised sunflower, joining together the colours green, orange, and yellow, associated with AD and PD prior to the merging of the parties into one, Green and progressive party.
The circle recalls the sun, which together with the sunflower is a longstanding symbol of Green and Ecologist parties in Europe.
ADPD said that “together is better. In a polarised and tribal political culture, we stand together with one aim of contributing to a better society and a greener and brighter future. A society of cooperation over a race to the bottom. We believe that there cannot be progress without social equality, responsibility and sustainability.”
In a statement, the Party said, “we believe in top class accessible public services such as public transport, housing, inclusive education, public health and safety in our localities. These requirements need sustainable financing and progressive taxation systems.”
“A brighter and better society means a truly democratic, secular and progressive society where diversity is celebrated and protected within a context of pluralism, reciprocal respect and civil liberties. We believe that ecology is a holistic chain and therefore we support sustainable development, the protection of the environment and animal welfare and rights,” it added.
It went on to say that, “a better, brighter tomorrow means the strengthening of a participative and pluralistic democracy based on the rule of law, subsidiarity, adequate checks and balances to ensure a separation between constitutional powers and legal safeguards which serve as effective deterrents against corruption and the dominance of economic interests and egoistic lobby groups.”
The Party concluded by saying that, “his requires electoral reform, greater autonomy of the judiciary from government, clear distinction between the state and political parties and complete separation between state and church. In a world marked by globalisation democracy can only be safeguarded through more integration and the strengthening of the EU’s democratic and representative structures.”
