BundestagswahlBeschlussfassendes Gremium
Gewisse Entscheidungen überschreiten die Koordinationsrolle des Koordinierungskollektivs. Da diese Entscheidungen oft rasch überprüft werden müssen, ist es unmöglich, bei einer knappen Abgabefrist, alle DiEM25 Mitglieder zu mobilisieren. Daher wird ein Beschlussfassendes Gremium (BG) aus 100 DiEM25-Mitgliedern eingerichtet. Diese werden per Losverfahren aus allen Mitgliedern ausgewählt. Um mehr über das Beschlussfassende Gremium zu erfahren, besuche bitte die Organisationsgrundlagen der Bewegung.
According to the new Organising Principles, any DiEM25 member with voting rights (i.e. verified identity, up-to-date membership fee) can be randomly picked for the Validating Council at any time. You do not need to apply anymore.

| Patrique Lafos | Deutschland | >>I am concerned about the many interconnected challenges we face: climate catastrophe, the rise of the far right, divisions within the population, growing intolerance towards those who think or feel differently, and the erosion of democracy for the enrichment of a few toxic oligarchs who, with their wealth, are worsening the lives of many on many levels. I am 45 years old, live in the Aachen area, and work in the IT industry as a process and ERP consultant for companies in a wide range of sectors. I have two minor children who will have to live in the world we leave behind, and I am involved in politics and social issues as much as my time allows, including working with my wife at primary and secondary schools. For me, DIEM25 is a movement that gives hope because it – because WE – are working on a positive, truly democratic, shared, European and international vision for the future.<< |

| John Sutton | Vereinigtes Königreich | I am a 70 years old British retired computer professional with a lifelong interest in Russian and German politics and culture. I am a physicist and mathematician by education.

I think it very important, not least for Russia, that Russia is defeated, and I have tried to make that argument in internal discussions within DiEM25. I did not succeed as yet. |

I'm not a German Citizen thus always felt disempowered to get involved in social and structural change, until I found out about DIEM25. I'm here and I'm ready to fight. |
