DWARS, de GroenLinkse jongerenorganisatie ("Contrary", the GreenLeft Youth Organisation, for more information on the name see name section) is the independent youth wing of GreenLeft, the Dutch Green political party.
Both the manifest for a better world, the organization's program of principles and 2025 - DWARS' proposals for the future, the organization's political program the party lists its five core-ideals which are equal to each other:
DWARS was founded on January 4, 1991. The foundation was decided on in congress on 15 and 16 December in Wageningen by the PSJG the youth wing of the Pacifist Socialist Party and the Political Party of Radical Youth (PPRJ) the youth wing of the Political Party of Radicals. Because of the merger of these two parties, with the CPN and the EVP, in the GreenLeft, the youth wings were forced to merge too. The General Dutch Youth League, linked to the Communist Party of the Netherlands decided to continue on its own. The Evangelical People's Party did not have an independent youth wing. There were major differences between the two youth organizations. The PSJG was oriented towards actions and campaigning, mainly against nuclear power and weapons. Within the PSJG there was a large anarchist group, which was opposed to parliamentary democracy. The PSJG operated independent from the PSP. The PPRJ was much more moderate and was not opposed to parliamentary democracy. The PPRJ was very dependent on its motherparty, the PPR. This difference between parliamentary oriented members and action-oriented members. In the first ten years of its existence the anarchist PSP youth held a majority, and DWARS became more independent from the GreenLeft. During this period Judith Sargentini was one of the spokespersons of the organization. Since a few years, the ties with the GreenLeft have been tightened and a more moderate group has come to power.
