The coalition with the Ecologist Greens party was formed based on having many political goals in common. The focus will be on digital rights, human rights and democratic participation. The coalition has agreed to fully endorse the Common European Election Programme (CEEP), that was adopted by consensus of several European pirate parties last November in Athens.
