Wandel ( English: Change) is an Austrian left-wing and progressive political party led by Fayad Mulla. [3] It is part of the pan-European coalition DiEM25. [4]
The party was launched in 2012 [5] as a progressive, anti-capitalist and egalitarian movement. Its positions are detailed in the "Demokratische Moderne (English: Democratic Modernity)" manifesto, which emphasizes on abolishing global capitalism and establishing a democratic economy, fair to all people. [6] Despite being anti-capitalist, the party's leader has stated that the party does not support socialism either, but rather seeks to take some elements from both socialism and capitalism in order to create a new alternative system, tentatively called "neo-socialism", [7] which shares characteristics with the socioeconomic concept of economic democracy.
The party's proposals include: [8]
Participating only in Vienna and Upper Austria, the party obtained 0.07% of the vote.
As part of the Europa anders coalition with the KPÖ, Pirate Party, and independents, they received a combined 2.14% of the vote, which was not enough to receive a seat.
In November 2018, the party announced an alliance with Yanis Varoufakis' DiEM25 for the European Parliament Election. [9] The party's political director Daniela Platsch was second on the joint list led by Varoufakis. The party did not win any seats.
The party ran in the snap legislative elections held in September 2019, obtaining approximately 0.5% of the vote.
