Several years ago, CÖF-CÖKA set its banner on the need to recognize "civilities" as a nascent new discipline arising from the reality of social life.
The parties smiled at our idea, they believe that the voters' opinion can only be brought to the surface through them, the so-called according to today's basic tenets of democracy. (Respect for exceptions).
We do not wish to argue with this perception, since civics is not based on formal democracy, but on the real life phenomena of societies, while looking for the means of self-realization. It does this with deep-rooted respect and preservation of national cultures. The facts created in the course of history were based on legal systems and turned into a national identity. The separate identities dissolved in the common civilization of Europe, since our culture was built on the Judeo-Christian beliefs. This is how our generations created the future that followed them.
Civics is a reality arising from the life of societies, which is based on the sovereignty of the people. It pits the positive effects of civil initiatives against the narrow ideologies represented by parties. It fills the wide space of progressive conservatism with the real phenomena of life.
Not forgetting the history of humanity, civics draws on experiences, utilizes them, but does not enter the competition of ideas. It follows the principle of the sovereignty of the people for the benefit of the living and their descendants at all times. The warriors of civility are the spiritual defenders of the country, who for generations utilize the values of experience after wise analysis.
By accepting civility as a concept, CÖF-CÖKA does not cherish striving for power. The political parties are present for this, and they are increasingly moving away from the realistic satisfaction of the needs of society. Their leading politicians dream of a superstate and in many cases assert their individual interests at the expense of their clients.
According to the creed of the intellectual patriots of CÖF-CÖKA, movement leaders who can serve the needs of our peoples included in the nation are suitable for representing our interests. They are capable of making and maintaining alliances within and outside nations with the strong support of the majority of citizens.
Preservation of world peace is the key to our future, following this path can make it easier to avoid war situations and end conflicts. If the Russian and Ukrainian leaders are able to listen to their citizens, the children of their nations will not become cannon fodder and can win the support and recognition of the world.
