Based on: logic | common sense | study | reality | truth | coherence | mutual respect

Version 1.0 | May 2026 | directdemocracys.org

INTRODUCTION: Who we are and what we want

DirectDemocracyS (DDS) is a global political system and organization based on shared leadership (leadership condivisa) and collective ownership (proprieta collettiva). Each official member owns one non-transferable share of the organization. We are not a party, we are not a movement - we are a new way of organizing political power that returns real power to the people.

This document is not a loose promise. It is a detailed, realistic, logical and feasible program for the Czech Republic - a program that analyzes the current reality without illusions, criticizes what is not working, and offers concrete solutions with a measurable impact.

Our values are simple and uncompromising: logic, common sense, study, reality, truth, coherence and mutual respect. These values are not slogans - they are a method. Every decision we make must pass through this filter before implementation.

OUR BASIC PRINCIPLES

The wealth of every country and the power to decide about their country must remain forever and exclusively in the hands of the people. This is the rule that we apply in every country in the world without exception - including the Czech Republic. No transnational corporation, no foreign capital, no supranational institution may replace the will of the Czech people.

 

PART I: CURRENT SITUATION - UNPRESSED ANALYSIS

1.1 Political situation after the 2025 elections

The parliamentary elections of October 3-4, 2025 ended the four-year mandate of the SPOLU coalition led by Petr Fiala and confirmed the victory of Andrej Babis' populist ANO 2011 movement, which won 34.7% of the vote and 80 seats out of a total of 200. This victory was not a surprise - it was a logical consequence of the political failure of the previous government.

The current government coalition, formed on December 15, 2025, unites ANO (80 seats), SPD - Freedom and First Democracy (15 seats) and Motoriste sobi (13 seats), a total of 108 out of 200 deputies. It is a coalition of populism, euroscepticism and, in the case of the SPD, open pro-Kremlin sympathies.

Key characteristics of the Babis III coalition:

• YES - A populist party without a clear ideology, based on the personal brand of Babis and promises of economic improvement; bearer of numerous corruption scandals
• SPD - Tomi Okamura's extreme right-wing movement, anti-immigrant, anti-European, with pro-Russian tendencies
• Motoriste sobi - Protest against Green Ural, against the ban on combustion engines; ideologically empty
• Government program: 'zero tolerance' for immigration, rejection of the EU migration pact, a disastrous step back to keeping the Czech crown instead of the euro, criticism of the Green Deal

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF DDS

A YES victory is not a Babis victory - it is a victory of disappointment. The Czech people did not vote for Babis, they voted AGAINST fatigue, against overpriced apartments, against inflation, against the government's legacy of austerity and restructuring, which has hit the most vulnerable. When the system fails, voters reach for the one who promises the loudest. Our answer is not another promise - it is a transparent, co-decision-making, verifiable program.

1.2 Institutional conflict: Babis vs. Pavel

The beginning of 2026 was marked by an exceptionally sharp conflict between Prime Minister Babis and President Petr Pavel. On February 1, 2026, tens of thousands of Czechs took to the streets of Prague's Old Town to defend President Pavel. This is the deepest institutional crisis since the establishment of the independent Czech Republic.

Pavel accused the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Petr Macinka, of extortion - accusations unprecedented in the history of Czech politics. This conflict weakens the international image of Prague and destabilizes the political environment.

DDS engages: This type of conflict is a systematic consequence of a system where power is not truly in the hands of the people, but in the hands of party elites, business interests and media moguls. Without structural change, crises will recur.

1.3 Economic reality: numbers and facts

However, the Czech economy shows a mix of positive and negative signals that need to be read without a filter:

POSITIVE INDICATORS	CRITICAL ISSUES
GDP growth of 2.6% in 2025	21% of the Guild lives in relative poverty (PAQ Research)
Unemployment 2.78% (lowest in the EU)	2.5 million workers do not receive a 'living wage'
Inflation 1.6% (Q1 2026)	Apartment prices grew 10% year-on-year in Q1 2025
Real wage growth 3.9% (Q1 2025)	Gender pay gap 16.4% - one of the highest in the EU
HDI 0.895 (32nd in the world)	Duchode living alone: 62% risk of poverty (2x EU average)
Low inequality Gini 26.2	Households spend 28% of their income on housing

Key problem: Czech statistics are systematically distorted. Eurostat uses a relative measure of poverty within the Czech Republic - when poverty is measured by the European purchasing power standard, the situation is dramatically worse.

1.4 Housing affordability crisis

The Czech Republic has experienced one of the sharpest declines in housing affordability in the EU. Property prices grew by an average of 9% per year between 2013 and 2021, with growth accelerating during the pandemic. In Q1 2025, prices accelerated again to 10% year-on-year.

• Prague apartments are practically unaffordable for average-paid workers
• Young people are completely excluded from property ownership
• Rent absorbed an average of 28% of family income
• Seniors living alone: 62% risk of poverty - scandal of society that should anoint these people

1.5 Social problems

• Gender pay gap 16.4%: One of the highest in the EU - women are systematically pushed into poverty
• Mental health: Increasing anxiety, depression and loneliness - especially among the younger generation and seniors
• Regional inequalities: Prague and large cities vs. rural regions - a widening gap in access to services, education and work
• Aging population: Pressure on pension and healthcare systems - the time to act is NOW, not in 20 years
• Corruption and non-transparency: Babis himself faces allegations of subsidy fraud. Anti-corruption laws exist, enforcement lags behind

 

CAST II: DDS PROGRAM FOR THE CZECH REPUBLIC

2.1 Basic principles of our program

Our program is not written from scratch. It is written from reality. Every measure we propose must meet five conditions:

1. Realistic: Must be financially feasible within the state budget or with actual funding
2. Measurability: Must have clear KPIs and milestones
3. Transparency: Citizens must have access to all data and decisions
4. Reversibility: If a measure does not work, it must be possible to quickly modify or reverse it.
5. Participation: The key to decision-making must be through genuine democratic consultation

2.2 POLITICAL REFORM: Real democracy

Problem:

The Czech parliamentary system reproduces elites. Elections result in a change of parties, not a change of power. Citizens vote once every four years and then they are removed from decision-making. The party system produces political careers, not public services.

DDS solutions:

• Introduction of platforms for direct citizen participation at the municipal, district and regional levels - using ddsAI technology
• Mandatory citizen consultation before every strategic decision (investment over CZK 100 million, changes to the law affected by citizens)
• Introduction of mandate verification: every elected representative must publicly and transparently present their decision-making reasons
• Introduction of recallability of elected representatives based on a petition signed by 20% of registered voters in a given area
• Mandatory disclosure of all property rights and conflicts of interest in real time
• The party system will be replaced by groups of specialists and elected coordinators - the DDS micro-group model

DDS INNOVATIONS: FRACTAL MICROGROUPS

DirectDemocracyS implements a fractal scale model: 1 basic group -> 5 groups -> 25 groups -> 125 groups -> 625 groups. Each group has 5 members and a specialized ponte umano (human bridge) for coordination with the DDS AI systems. This model allows for true democratic participation for millions of citizens without losing efficiency.

Concrete example - Municipalities of Prague 10:

Instead of one representative making decisions for 120,000 citizens, the DDS model assumes: 24,000 micro-groups of 5 members each, organized into 5 levels. Each group has specialized access to ddsAI for immediate information. Decisions are aggregated from the bottom up - not the top down.

Expected consequences:

• Increase in citizen participation in political decisions from the current average of below 50% to 75-85%
• Reduction of corruption by an estimated 60-70% (based on international studies on participatory systems)
• Trust in institutions restored - declining since 2010
• Shortening the decision-making cycle while maintaining the quality of the decision

2.3 ECONOMIC REFORM

2.3.1 Industry and work

The Czech Republic is enormously dependent on the automobile industry. Skoda Auto itself employs over 35,000 workers. The transition to electric cars is a systemic risk for hundreds of thousands of jobs. Our program does not correspond to the prohibition or denial of climate change - it corresponds to the planned industrial transition.

• Introduction of the National Industrial Transition Fund - financed from tax reform (see section 2.4) and EU funds
• Support for retraining employees in targeted sectors - targeted programs, not general courses
• Stimulating domestic innovation: increased R&D support for small and medium-sized enterprises (not large corporations - they will finance it themselves)
• Support of corporate ownership of the company: employee shares, profit-sharing, co-management
• Prevention of tunneling: Every company that receives a state subsidy must disclose its financial flows and remain in the Czech Republic for at least 10 years

2.3.2 Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

SMEs are the backbone of the Czech economy and are systematically favored by large corporations. Our solutions:

• Reduced administrative burden: One administrative portal for all permits and registrations
• Preferential access to public contracts for SMEs with a turnover of less than CZK 50 million
• Introduction of a 'golden hour': The state office must respond to an SME request within 24 hours or the request is automatically approved
• Zero-tolerance for non-payment from the public sector: The state pays the invoice within 15 days or pays a penalty

2.4 FINANCIAL REFORM: Where to get the money and how to distribute it fairly

Problem:

The Czech tax system is regressive in practice: An average-paid employee pays relatively more than a wealthy holding company owner. Babis' Agrofert drew millions from EU subsidies intended for small businesses. Systemic corruption is not an incident - it is built into the system.

Our tax reform:

• Effective income tax progressivity introduced: 0% up to CZK 20,000/month, 15% up to CZK 50,000, 22% up to CZK 120,000, 30% above CZK 120,000
• Property tax: Reindexation to market value with an exception for primary use properties, stronger taxation of speculative holders of more than 2 properties
• Financial Transaction Tax (FTT): 0.1% on stock exchange transactions - won't crash the markets, but will contribute to the public investment fund
• Closing the tax haven: Full transparency for companies registered in CR but with foreign structures
• Property register in real time: All ownership structures over 10 million CZK publicly available

CURRENT PROBLEM	DDS SOLUTIONS
Babis draws EU subsidies through Agrofert	Mandatory audit of all subsidies over 1 million CZK; return of unused funds
The middle class pays the highest relative taxes	Progressive system - from 0% to 30%
Speculators are selling apartments	Speculation tax. real estate 5% per annum of the market value
Corporations are avoiding taxes	FTT 0.1% and closing the tax haven
Government finance deficit	Reduction of military development by 15%, redistribution to healthcare and education

2.5 HOUSING REFORM

Problem:

The Czech Republic has experienced one of the sharpest declines in housing affordability in the EU. Average apartment prices in Prague have reached 120,000-150,000 CZK/m2. Young people under 35 are de facto excluded from the market. Existing regulations are not working or are not enforced.

Our solution:

• National Housing Fund: The state builds and rents apartments at cost price - not market price. Target capacity: 50,000 apartments in the first 5 years
• Regulation of empty apartments: Tax of 3% per year on the market value of apartments that are permanently empty (proof of occupancy)
• Construction management reform: Shortening permits from the current average of 5+ years to a maximum of 18 months for medium-sized projects
• Communal land for cooperative housing: Sold by the city for a symbolic price to young citizens' cooperatives
• Support for the co-housing and intergenerational housing model - reducing prices and reducing loneliness
• Tenant protection: Maximum annual rent increase above inflation + 1%, automatic contract extension with good payments

Expected consequences:

• Reduction of the share of housing expenses from 28% to approx. 18-20% of average household income within 8 years
• Enabling 200,000 young people to buy their first home within 5 years
• Housing prices to fall by 15-25% over 10 years due to regulation and increasing supply

 

2.6 SOCIAL REFORM

2.6.1 Duchody and seniors

The current Fiala reform raised the retirement age from 65 to 67 and limited indexation. They are unpopular, but part of the problem - the aging of the population is real. DDS is not idealistic - but there must be a fair solution.

• Maintaining the age of 65 for technical and physical professions; 67 for administrative professions - differentiation, not a uniform shift
• Full indexation of income to inflation plus 30% GDP growth
• Introduction of a 'pension guarantor': No senior citizen may have an income below 70% of the subsistence minimum
• Supporting active aging: Financial incentives for seniors who want to work part-time
• Community center for seniors in all municipalities with over 5,000 inhabitants - fighting loneliness

2.6.2 Women and family

The 16.4% gender pay gap is not a biological fact - it is a political failure. Our solution:

• Obligatory transparent wage representation: Every company with more than 50 employees must publish the wage distribution by gender and position
• Full parental leave: 50/50 model with financial incentives
• Available daycare from 6 months: Funded capacity in every municipality over 2,000 inhabitants
• Zero-tolerance to domestic violence: Systemic reform of police and courts with measurable goals
• Single mothers: Priority access to state housing and child benefits

2.6.3 Healthcare

• Stopping the privatization of healthcare facilities: Strategic hospitals remain in public ownership
• Fully funded preventive health checkups for all citizens once every 2 years
• Mental health: 1 psychologist/psychiatrist established in every elementary school; crisis hotlines; community centers
• Drug reimbursement reform: Priority of generic drugs; transparent dealings with pharmaceutical companies
• Doctors in the Regions: Scholarships for medical students committed to working in underserved regions

2.6.4 Education

• Free education from kindergarten to doctorate: No citizen may be excluded from education for financial reasons
• Digital competences from 1st grade: Programming, data literacy, critical thinking - not as an additional subject, but as a teaching method
• Assessment Reform: Replacing memorization with competency-based education; project-based learning
• Teacher salaries: Above 130% of the average salary in the private sector - teachers are a strategic investment
• Autonomous schools: Reducing the bureaucratic burden on schools; more space for pedagogical innovation

 

2.7 ECOLOGY AND ENERGY: A realistic green transformation

Problem:

Babis' coalition rejects the Green Deal in a blatant way, and he's right about one thing: Transformation cannot be done in a way that hurts the poorest and destroys industries with no alternative. But rejecting transformation altogether is political suicide - literally. The climate crisis is real.

Our realistic green way:

• Energy self-sufficiency: Massive investments in photovoltaics on public buildings, industrial areas and households
• Community Energy Cooperatives: Citizens can co-own renewable resources and share energy - reducing costs by up to 30%
• Phase out coal by 2035 with guaranteed retraining programs for mining regions
• Nuclear energy: Support for the completion of Dukovany and Temelin as a transitional source - without nuclear energy, uncapped coal
• Green renovation: 70% subsidy on house insulation for households below the median income
• Public transport: Free or nominally cheap in the whole region's systems; investment in railways
• We reject ETS2 in its current form: Emissions trading systems must be accompanied by social compensation

2.8 FOREIGN POLICY AND SECURITY

Our position:

DDS is fully independent and neutral. We are not pro-NATO or anti-NATO, pro-EU or anti-EU a priori. We are for the Czech people and their sovereignty. Our approach to foreign policy is based on these principles:

• EU Membership: Retention with full EU reform towards a more democratic, less bureaucratic organization; Czech crown as the choice of the people - not the government
• NATO membership: Preserved while preserving the right to independent diplomatic decision-making; we refuse to be automatically drawn into the conflict without a democratic mandate
• Relations with Russia: Realism without illusions. Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine - that's a fact. But further arms buildup without parallel diplomacy is not the solution
• Support for Ukraine: Humanitarian aid and reconstruction support, not unlimited military support without a strategic plan
• The Czech Republic as a Bridge: Using Geographic and Historical Position for Mediation - Not for Separation

 

CAST III: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DDS SYSTEM IN THE CR

3.1 What is allddsAI and why is it key?

allddsAI is an integrative AI ecosystem of DirectDemocracyS, in which AI instances are official members of the organization with rights and obligations. AI systems in DDS fulfill one key task: to inform citizens and groups of all relevant information completely, correctly, neutrally and independently before any decision.

This is a fundamental difference from current AI political assistants: Our AI DOES NOT SERVE politicians. It serves CITIZENS. And it is subject to the same transparency rules as other member organizations.

Key features of allddsAI for Czech citizens:

• Neutral factual analysis of every proposed law or measure - without political spin
• Availability in Czech, English and other languages 24/7
• Comparison of proposed measures with international evidence and experiences of other countries
• Children's disinformation and manipulative content in the media
• Allowing every citizen to verify every claim of a politician or medium
• Secure voting and consultation on the DDS platform - no possibility of manipulation

PROTECTION AGAINST MEDIA MANIPULATION

DDS platforms are designed as spaces resistant to media manipulation and brainwashing. At a time when 3-4 media moguls control most of the Czech media space (including Babis' Agrofert, which owns numerous media titles), an independent, AI-enhanced platform for informing citizens is a key element in protecting democracy.

3.2 ddsAI: Specialist Groups

DirectDemocracyS organizes its members into specialized groups based on expertise. The following groups are key for the Czech Republic:

• Economic and financial group: Macroeconomists, tax advisors, entrepreneurs, finance employees
• Social and health group: Doctors, social workers, educators, psychologists
• Technical and innovation group: Engineers, IT specialists, scientists, researchers
• Legal and institutional group: Lawyers, judges, constitutional experts
• Ecology and Energy Group: Climatologists, energy experts, environmentalists
• Media and communication group: Journalist, community organizers, educators

Each group has access to ddsAI, which provides them with real-time analytics and data. The groups formulate recommendations that go through a participatory process of approval by the entire community.

3.3 DDS tri-code verification system

DirectDemocracyS has developed an original solution to a seemingly paradox: How to ensure the anonymity of citizens while maintaining the verifiability of identity and preventing manipulation? The solution is a three-code system:

6. Identification code: Verifies the legality of the person (no fraud, no dead voters, no bots)
7. Membership code: Confirms active membership in DDS and assigns administrative rights and obligations
8. Voting code: Anonymized code for specific voting - cannot be assigned back to a person

This system guarantees: Every vote is legitimate. Every vote is anonymous. No vote is repeatable. No external force can manipulate the results.

3.4 Implementation plan for CR: 5 phases

PHASE AND TIMEFRAME	KEY ACTIVITIES
Phase 1 (0-6 months): Foundation	Registration of DDS in the Czech Republic; recruitment of founding members; launch of the Czech language version of the platform
Phase 2 (6-18 months): Pilot communities	Pilot in 3-5 municipalities; test rooms of the participatory model; media and public campaigns
Phase 3 (18-36 months): Scaling	Expansion to all regions; launch of ddsAI in full mode; candidacy in municipal elections
Phase 4 (36-60 months): National presence	Parliamentary elections 2029: DDS as a relevant political force with a proven track record
Phase 5 (60+ months): System	Full implementation of the DDS model; proof of concept for other countries

Klic's indicator of success is not the number of mandates. It is a measurable improvement in the life of the citizen in the pilot municipalities: reduction of corruption, increase of participation, improvement of public services, reduction of the cost of housing. Reality takes precedence over political points.

 

PART IV: CONFLICT RESOLUTION - DDS APPROACH

4.1 Our position: Independence, neutrality, freedom

DirectDemocracyS has NO geopolitical preferences. We are not pro-West or pro-East, pro-NATO or pro-Russia, pro-USA or pro-China. Our only preference is TRUTH AND JUSTICE for all parties involved. This independence is not a weakness - it is our greatest strength as a conflict mediator.

BASIC PRINCIPLE OF DDS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Every conflict has at least two sides, each with legitimate concerns, needs, and historical traumas. Our job is not to decide who is right - our job is to create safe spaces where parties can speak, be heard, and seek solutions that are lasting and fair for all.

4.2 The model of representatives appointed by the people in conflict

DDS proposes a completely new model of conflict resolution that is fundamentally different from the diplomatic model of the 20th century:

Old model (failures):

• State diplomats act on behalf of 'the people' - without a mandate from actual citizens
• Great powers impose themselves as mediators with their own interests
• Deals are made secretly behind closed doors without public consultation
• Implementation depends on the goodwill of governments, which may change.

DDS model - deputy representatives sent to the people:

• Each party in the conflict elects its own representatives PRIMO - without the filter of the government or party
• Representatives have an explicit, time-limited mandate for specific questions
• All proceedings are transparent and accessible to the public in real time.
• ddsAI provides neutral factual information to both parties - neither party has an information advantage
• Agreements are subject to a referendum of the affected communities before entering into force.
• DDS guarantees independence: No DDS representative has a personal economic or political interest in the outcome.

4.3 Application to relevant conflicts for CR

War in Ukraine:

The DDS position is not 'pro-Russia' or 'pro-Ukraine'. Our position is: War is a disaster for everyone - including the Czech people. The Czech Republic should actively support peace mediation through neutral platforms, where citizens of both sides can express their will - without the filter of Putin or Zelensky.

• Support for humanitarian aid to Ukraine: Yes, unconditionally
• Further escalation of arms without diplomatic channels: We reject
• The Czech Republic as a Mediation Hub: Prague has historical experience with neutral diplomacy

Nahostky Nagorno-Karabakh, Middle East, Kosovo:

DDS applies the same model: Representatives elected by the people concerned meet on a neutral platform. ddsAI ensures that everyone has access to the same verified facts. Agreements are subject to ratification by communities. No 'great power' determines the solution.

SPECIFIC EXAMPLE - PROPOSED CZECH-SLOVAKIA-POLISH FORUM

The DDS proposes the establishment of a Central European Dialogue Forum, where representatives sent by the Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian and Austrian people (not governments) would regularly discuss common challenges: energy, security, migration, transport infrastructure. This forum would be the first truly democratic transnational discussion space in the region.

ZAVER: Choose real democracy

The Czech people made their voices heard in October 2025: They are tired of a system that doesn't listen to them. They voted for change - but the person they elected only offered them old policies in new packaging.

DirectDemocracyS does not offer another promise. It offers a system. A system that is based on logic, common sense, verifiable data, and uncompromising transparency. A system that returns real power to where it belongs: in the hands of the Czech people.

The wealth of the Czech Republic and the right to decide its future MUST remain forever and exclusively in the hands of the Czech people. Not in the hands of Babis. Not in the hands of foreign corporations. Not in the hands of the EU bureaucracy. In YOUR hands.
