MERA25 Hessen is the regional branch of the German political party MERA25, which is part of the pan-European political movement DiEM25 (Democracy in Europe Movement 2025). Founded by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, MERA25 advocates for social, economic, and ecological reforms within both Germany and the European Union.[1]

In the 2023 Hessian state election, the party ran in the Frankfurt am Main V constituency and received 99 first votes.[3]
