C O N S T I T U E N T   D E C L A R A T I O N


We, the undersigned, being convinced that

democracy is a form of governing which guarantees each individual an opportunity to participate in the management of State affairs, compatibility of personal freedom and public interests;

understanding that

freedom is the highest value which guarantees unrestrained choice of activities and religious beliefs by an individual;

having no doubt that

property constitutes the guarantee of an individual's freedom; property is inviolable;

maintaining that

the rule of law and equality of all before the law constitute the fundamental principle of the regulation of mutual relations in society;

being aware that

free market guarantees efficient economic management, a possibility to engage in business, public welfare;being certain that
State governing must be open and transparent, reflecting the will of the majority of society and ensuring social justice;

realising that

traditions are important to every individual, therefore they must be respected, cherished, new ones created and passed on from generation to generation;

considering that

the family is first of all responsible for the development of individual's moral and spiritual values;

recognising that

common moral values should be abided by every individual, every political and public organisation,

declare we are establishing

H O M E L A N D P E O P L E' S P A R T Y,

people's party in the European tradition

whose principal goal - creation of democratic society and strengthening of the modern State of Lithuania based upon the initiative and government of free residents.
Hereby we invite all the citizens of Lithuania - people of cities, towns and villages - to join in the common effort.
