PARTY PROGRAMME

I.

Preamble

The FDPA has been founded in order to build up a free and independent Afghanistan. The FDPA is an association of Afghans who love their home country and wish Afghanistan and the Afghan people to be again accepted in the family of peoples as a free and democratic country. In our party, all Afghan citizens are represented and have equal rights. The FDPA is not under an obligation to any ideology. It stands for a free and democratic basis order. The FDPA supports a social market economy and demands to solve any problems in a rational and objective manner and to leave out of consideration all ideologies.
The FDPA strictly declines any extremism, no matter from which side, as well as the use of violence for carrying through political objectives. The FDPA sees itself as a modern alternative to the tribes, religious groups or groups related to a people in Afghanistan, who have sufficiently proven their incompetence in dealing with the problems to be faced and are obviously neither willing to make a restoration nor capable of doing so. All population and religious groups, whether man or woman, whether Afghan or not, who are at least 18 years old, are cordially invited to cooperate. The FDPA thanks the USA, Europe and the UNO for the liberation of Afghanistan from its tyrants. The FDPA strives for running in the first free election in Afghanistan.
