Croatia will become the 28th member state of the European Union on 1st July this year – it will enter an established “international club” and it will strive to positively contribute to the life and the future of this “club”.
The Croatian Democratic Centre party (DC) had invited a group of distinguished Croatian citizens, who have excelled in the creation, defence and work for Croatia, regardless of any political party affiliations they may have, or not have, regardless of their political activities, to be candidates from EU Parliament elections.
Good, diligent and capable people exist. The system needs to facilitate and enable the expression of their activities, and DC has achieved this by compiling a list of independent citizens into its List of Candidates for the 14 April EU Parliament elections to be held in Croatia and its diplomatic missions abroad.
These are their Values, who they are and what they propose.
Our Values of Good:
• All that is morally correct and just, is Good
• Croatia is Good because it arose from the expressed will of the majority of its citizens
• The civilisation of Good is the only path and it is possible
• The civilisation of Evil is no longer possible
• The Joint Movement of Evil had defined the International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague
• We have realised Joint Movements of Good – through our will, knowledge, networking and actions
• Good is the awakening of the will to do and spread the good, to foster knowledge, to join people, act and transcend the good – excel in the good
• Our truth binds knowledge, beauty, experience and faith into the joint movement of good and builds a civilisation of good
• We reject political and religious dualism, the division into good and evil
• There is only one God – People create the Universal Good, either individually or jointly, where all are equal and all alone are weak, transient and sinful
• We support freedom, democracy and human dignity for all
• There are no superior people, no inferior people and no inhuman people
• Europe, Croatia, all states and all the people of Europe, need and want a better world
• Through vision of the Good, we apply ourselves and actively create a better world for Europe, Croatia, States and people
Support the Joint Movement of Good
• Every one of us (the EU Parliament candidates of the Joint Movement of Good) can and will represent our proposals because we have become Good People through our past work and actions
• If no one from this List is elected, every Good person from other lists can represent these proposals
• If no one from Croatia wants to represent them, any other Good person can represent them, any representative from another European country can represent them
• If no member of the European Parliament wants to represent them, every European Good person can represent them, regardless of his/her gender, nationality, age, religion, political persuasion …
• Visions should be expressed in words, join people and realised through actions
• Calls for help to Dubrovnik, to the hospital in Nova Bila, Help for the Elderly after the Operation Storm, Peaceful Reintegration and others, were conversions of words into actions.
Matthew 25:40: “Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me!”
Today they are the unemployed, the young who lack the courage to have children.
The Candidates of the Joint Movement of Good for EU Parliament elections, 14 April 2013:
All the candidates have through their own actions demonstrated that they are Good people, in the creation and the defence of Croatia, and in their own personal careers to date.
Each one of them can enrich the future of Europe with Croatia and Croatia with Europe.
All can successfully represent Croatia before the European Parliament and across Europe.
Each one of them is, in his or her specific knowledge, experience and work, irreplaceable.
