DEMOCRACY : DEMOCRACY
Individual freedoms, responsibilities, rights, and obligations are conditions for the creation of a functioning and open society. We see four pillars in society: political freedom, human rights, economic freedom, and the rule of law. Democracy is the rule of the people, our rule. Good political parties and political education are important pillars of democracy. FNF collaborates with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in strengthening democracy programs. Together with our partners, we strive to increase the independence and welfare of the community through the formation and strengthening of awareness and active participation of the people in politics.
