Why we are running in this EU election – FORTUNE magazine’s report

ΜέΡΑ25 – το μόνο κόμμα για το οποίο ο πολιτισμός παράγει πολιτική (video)
Το ΜέΡΑ25 δεν χρησιμοποιεί τον πολιτισμό ως προπαγανδιστικό εργαλείο αλλά, αντίθετα, βλέπει τον ακομμάτιστο πολιτισμό ως πηγή έμπνευσης προοδευτικών πολιτικών. Σε αυτή την εκδήλωση που οργάνωσε το DiEM25 και ο πολιτιστικός του βραχίονας, το DiEM Voice, καλλιτέχνες όπως ο Brian Eno, o Bobby Gillespie και η Δανάη Στράτου αλλά και συγγραφείς όπως ο Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης και ο Σρέτσκο […]
