"We Continue the Change" party have submitted to the 48th National Assembly a declaration on the four leading national goals and the measures to achieve them. The party is looking for support for "Development of a competitive innovative economy," which could be achieved by adopting all laws and measures needed for the reforms envisaged in the Recovery and Resilience Plan, by encouraging investments, maintaining current taxes and taxing excess profits in the energy sector.

The second goal is to "Guarantee national security and the rule of law", by allocating 2% of GDP for the modernization of the army, reforming the anti-mafia commission, the prosecutor's office and the court, adopting changes to the Election Code and allowing the government to appoint heads of special services.

The other two main goals announced are "Achieving energy independence" and "Reducing inequalities and providing access to high-quality education and healthcare".
