Let's start with the basics: trust in politics is crucial for the functioning of a democratic system. When people begin to doubt the integrity of their political leaders, the foundations of democracy start to crumble. We have seen this in numerous cases where political actors betrayed their promises and abused the trust of the people, even in our own country just a few years ago.

But it's not just about politics as an abstract concept – political parties are the ones that actually shape and implement political decisions. When trust in political parties weakens, the entire political system faces a crisis. Therefore, it is crucial for political parties to remain true to their principles, transparent in their operations, and consistent in fulfilling political promises.

Recent events have taught us that trust in political parties is something that must be earned every day anew. This requires openness, transparency, and accountability in all political processes, including financial transparency, clear political programs, and consistent implementation of political promises.

Citizens have the right to know what is happening behind the closed doors of political chambers.

Furthermore, it is crucial for political parties to actively engage with citizens and listen to their concerns and needs. Only in this way can they maintain their legitimacy and earn the trust of the people. This is not a one-time effort but a continuous process that requires commitment and persistence.

Additionally, it is crucial to be aware that we are all co-creators of the political culture. Each individual has a responsibility to actively participate in the political process, whether through voting, engaging in civil societies, or simply through informed and critical thinking. Therefore, it is important to build a culture of trust among people, as politics is a reflection of what we are as a society. When people trust each other, it becomes easier to trust political institutions and parties.

‍

Together, we can build a more open, fair, and sustainable political environment where everyone can find their voice and role.
