Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutsch

The National Democratic Party of Germany (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands, NPD) is a far-right political party in Germany, known for its nationalist, ultranationalist, and in many aspects, neo-Nazi ideology. Since its establishment in 1964, the NPD has advocated for the preservation of German national identity and culture, often framing this in terms of ethnic purity and opposition to immigration, particularly from non-European countries.

The party's values are deeply rooted in the belief in the superiority of the German people and a strong opposition to globalization…   and American influence. It promotes the idea of a Volksgemeinschaft, a people's community, based on ethnic homogeneity. The NPD is also known for its revisionist views of Germany's history, particularly World War II and the Holocaust, often minimizing or denying the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

Economically, the NPD espouses nationalist protectionism, advocating for policies that favor German workers and businesses while opposing the European Union's influence on Germany's economy. It seeks to replace the current political system with one that emphasizes national sovereignty and traditional social values, often clashing with democratic principles and the protection of minority rights.

The NPD's stance on foreign policy is isolationist, opposing military interventions abroad and NATO membership, advocating instead for a neutral Germany focused on its own interests. The party has struggled with legal challenges and widespread condemnation from mainstream German society and has been subject to surveillance by Germany's domestic security services due to its extremist views.

Despite its marginal position in German politics, failing to secure seats in the national parliament due to the country's electoral threshold, the NPD has achieved some representation at local levels and in certain regional parliaments over the years. Its presence and activities continue to spark debates about the limits of free speech, the resilience of democratic institutions, and the challenges of confronting extremism in Germany.
