- Our primary goal is to establish the pillars and principles of a state where officials are freely elected, held accountable, and subject to the rule of law—ensuring an independent judiciary, separation of powers, and a government that acts as a representative, not a replacement, of the people. The state must manage public services and infrastructure.
- The presidency is a public function where any president serves the people rather than rules them. It is a temporary mandate and delegation of authority granted by the people.
- We believe the presidential term should be limited to five years, renewable only once. The powers of the president must be constitutionally restricted.
- One of the core issues in modern Syrian governance is the lack of clear constraints and limitations on presidential authority—a flaw that has fueled instability to this day.
