The recent two-day conference of the Democratic Movement in Greece kicked off with a keynote speech by leader Stefanos Kasselakis. The conference’s opening was marked by a video address from Rob Jetten, the new Prime Minister of the Netherlands, who was scheduled to attend in person but was unable to due to ongoing negotiations for forming his government. Kasselakis's leadership and international connections highlight the movement's aim to foster a European-oriented agenda.

Alongside Kasselakis and Jetten's presence, the conference also featured remarks from Sandro Gozi, the Secretary of the European Democrats and a Member of the European Parliament, who has been actively collaborating with Kasselakis's team in Athens. This engagement with prominent politicians from Europe indicates a strategic effort by the Greek Democratic Movement to align itself with broader European political narratives and to reinforce its identity as a progressive force within the continent.

As the conferences unfolded, it became evident that the Democratic Movement is positioning itself as a vital player amid the shifting political landscape in Greece and Europe. The participation of notable figures reflects an intention to cement alliances, push for democratic values, and address contemporary challenges facing citizens in both Greece and Europe at large.
