Democracy must be stronger than the power of capital. Challenging the global capitalism. Getting world into solidarity and stop Finnish polarisation. Freedom and the right to work and income for all people. Environmentally conscious Finland.
Some in the party accept the EU and others reject it. The younger generation is more pro-EU than the older.
