"Today's social democrats promote first and foremost a society in which members can lead a free and just life under all circumstances. Therefore, fundamental rights, as for example the freedom of speech, have to be legally ensured and secured by the executive branch of government. But what if a person is not educated and cannot read or write? The freedom of speech does not help much, if one cannot make use of it. Since the tangible outcome of fundamental rights often depends on the social and economic situation of the individual, social democrats call for the implementation of social, economic and cultural rights. They believe that it is not enough to legally ensure fundamental rights. In order to ensure all citizens a free and just life, rights have to be actively promoted and implemented. "
