Politická strana Aliancie pre Nemecko

The Alliance for Germany was not a standalone political party but rather a coalition formed in East Germany in the lead-up to the country's first and only free parliamentary elections in March 1990, following the fall of the Berlin Wall and during the…   peaceful revolution that led to the end of the Socialist Unity Party's (SED) control. This alliance was primarily composed of three center-right parties: the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of East Germany, the German Social Union (DSU), and the Democratic Awakening. The formation of this alliance was significantly influenced by West German political forces, especially the West German CDU led by then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who sought to support their East German counterparts and other conservative groups in the transition towards reunification.<br /><br />The values and political goals of the Alliance for Germany were centered around the rapid reunification of East and West Germany, the establishment of a market economy in the East, and the integration of East Germany into the European Community and NATO. The alliance advocated for the adoption of the West German currency, the Deutsche Mark, in East Germany, and supported economic policies that would lead to the privatization of state-owned enterprises and the restructuring of the economy to alleviate the widespread shortages and inefficiencies that were prevalent under the socialist regime.<br /><br />The Alliance for Germany's emphasis on swift reunification appealed to many East Germans who were eager to see the end of the division of Germany and to improve their standard of living through the adoption of West Germany's economic model. Their victory in the 1990 elections was a clear mandate from the East German populace for quick reunification, which was achieved on October 3, 1990, when East and West Germany were officially reunited as the Federal Republic of Germany.<br /><br />After reunification, the individual parties that constituted the Alliance for Germany continued to exist and participate in the politics of the unified Germany, but the alliance itself, as a political entity, dissolved. The CDU of East Germany merged with its West German counterpart, while the other parties faced varying degrees of success and challenges in the new political landscape of a reunified Germany.Čítaj viac
