DiEM25’s solution is a

European New Deal

Principles

Basic goods provision

All Europeans should enjoy the right to basic goods (e.g. nutrition, shelter, transport, energy) in their home country, along with the
right to paid work contributing to the maintenance of their communities while receiving a living wage, to decent social housing, to
high quality health and education, and to a sustainable environment.

Turning wealth into investment

Europe’s future hinges on the capacity to harness the wealth that accumulates in Europe and turn it into investments in a real,
green, sustainable, innovative economy. What matters is not to boost of one European country’s ‘competitiveness’ in relation to
another European country but the rise of productivity in green sectors everywhere.

Sharing the returns of capital

In the increasingly digital economy, capital goods are increasingly produced collectively but their returns continue to be privatised.
As Europe becomes more technologically advanced, to avoid stagnation and discontent it must implement policies for sharing the
dividends from digitisation and automation amongst all its citizens.

Democratic macroeconomic management

Europe’s economies are stagnating because for too long macroeconomic management has been subcontracted to unaccountable
‘technocrats’. It is high time that macroeconomic management is democratised fully and placed under the scrutiny of sovereign
peoples.

Policies

Timeline
Tomorrow
In the very short term DiEM25 is proposing policies that can be implemented tomorrow morning, by recalibrating existing
institutions without the need for bilateral/multilateral agreements or EU Treaty changes. Examples include:

The new public digital payments platform that ends the monopoly of banks over Europe’s
payments,
Green investment-led recovery: Linking central banking with public investment vehicles and the
new public digital payments platforms,
The Anti-Poverty Program and the moratorium on evictions that is part of the Housing Program,
the four policies for dealing with the Eurozone crisis.

Short to long term

In the short to medium term DiEM25 is proposing policies that need bilateral/multilateral agreements between governments but
do not require EU Treaty changes. Examples include:

The complete gamut of bank regulations,

A Jobs Guarantee Program,
Coordination between Eurozone and non-Eurozone monetary and "scal policies to maximise
Europe’s recovery.
DiEM25’s long term policy proposals are the ones that require deep institutional changes within nation-states and across Europe
and the EU. Examples include the universal basic dividend and policies to democratise the economic and "nancial spheres.
