The political reality for most of us is limited to talking about political parties in general. In what they propose and in what they do. Sometimes we simplify it to the point where I vote for this one who is on the left, this one on the right, the center, or the recently released “parties of change.” But politics and political parties are much more: they are content. The content of each of the political programs will be the basis of his actions during his government. It is vitally important, and now more than ever that we are in the midst of change management, to know what each of them say and what proposals they have on their respective tables . But it is also true that in our daily lives, we lack time. We have it but it doesn't cover everything. Information is power, said an anonymous being. And the new Polétika.org initiative gives us citizens a little bit of that power. And it also gives us the possibility of participating and questioning the parties with a single click. Politics + ethics = Polétika.org Polétika.org was born yesterday , a political pressure and citizen information tool to improve democratic quality and fight against extreme inequality, poverty and social exclusion.
