Europe Movement

Greece’s former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis launched a pan-European movement “Democracy in Europe Movement 2025″ (Diem25) in Berlin on Tuesday.

The even was held at the historic Volksbuehne theater, a venue which is well-known for its leftist political activism.

DiEM25, the movement due to be launched by former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, is set to look for allies in Bulgaria, a civic activist said on Saturday.

"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero," ("Seize the day and put minimum trust on tomorrow.") From Horace's Odes to the late Robin Williams' "Dead Poets Society," this phrase has served many purposes.

Greece’s former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis announced his plans to launch his new political movement called The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025, or DiEM25 next month in Berlin.

His pan-European left-wing movement aims at ending “fragmentation in Europe”, while the launch event will take place on February 9 in a theater in Berlin, as politico.eu reports.
