The National Democratic Party of Germany (German: Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands, NPD) is a German nationalist political party. The party, founded on November 28, 1964, is a successor to the German Reich Party (German: Deutsche Reichspartei, DRP). Udo Voigt has led the party since 1996. The NPD associates itself with the black-red-gold colour pattern of the current flag of Germany, but identifies more strongly with the black-white-red colour combination, used in various periods in history to stand for German nationalism.

According to an ARD poll, the majority of the population in Germany considers the NPD to be undemocratic and damaging to the image of the country.^[1] The NPD is viewed by its opponents and the mainstream media as a de facto neo-Nazi party. Accusations of neo-Nazism arise from the party's opposition to the increasing number of non-whites, Jews and Muslims living in Germany as well as from reports of Voigt's meetings with various controversial ideologues, such as David Duke.

History

At the time of the NPD's founding in 1964, its opponents failed in their effort to have the NPD declared a direct successor to the Nazi Party and thereby disbanded in accordance with West German law. The party has never won the minimum 5% of votes in German federal elections that allow a party to send delegates to the German Parliament. However, it was represented in several state parliaments in the 1960s and has repeated this feat recently.

In the 2004 state election in Saxony, the NPD won 9.2% of the overall vote. The NPD currently sends 12 representatives to the Saxony state parliament, the Landtag. During the 2004 election, the NPD entered a non-competition agreement with the German People's Union (DVU) and has since maintained that only one of the two parties will compete in any given election. The third nationalist-oriented party, the Republicans (REP), has so far refused to join this agreement. However, Kerstin Lorenz, a local representative of the Republicans in Saxony, sabotaged her party's registration to help the NPD in the Saxony election.^{[citation needed]} The Saxony state election, 2004, was conducted on September 19, 2004, to elect members to the Landtag (state legislature) of Saxony. ...

Platform and philosophies

NPD leader Udo Voigt states that the philosophy of the NPD differs from communism and liberalism in that it acknowledges people as unequal products of their societies and environments, largely governed by the "laws of Nature." Voigt states that the party is influenced by the views of modern sociologists such as Konrad Lorenz and Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt. The NPD calls itself a party of "grandparents and grandchildren" because the 1960s generation in Germany, known for the leftist student movement, seldom supports the NPD's policies. The NPD's economic program promotes social security for Germans and control against plutocracy, but the party does not oppose private property. Udo Voigt (born 1952) is the political chief of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), which is a right-extremist political party. ...

The primary feature of the NPD that its opponents classify as extremism is its social orientation and philosophy.^[5] This includes a desire to dissolve a bureacracy or constitution if it interferes with the ability of the Volk to preserve their traditions and continued existence.^[6] Voigt called the current German political system illegitimate, and said, "it is our goal, to handle (abzuwickeln) the Federal Republic of Germany, just as 15 years ago, the people handled the German Democratic Republic." ^[7] Folk can refer to a number of different things: It can be short for folk music, or, for folksong, or, for folklore; it may be a word for a specific people, tribe, or nation, especially one of the Germanic peoples; it might even be a calque on the related German... “East Germany” redirects here. ...

The NPD argues that NATO fails to represent the interests and needs of European people. The party considers the European Union to be little more than a reorganisation of Europe along financial lines.^[8] Although highly critical of the EU, as long as Germany remains a part of it, the NPD opposes Turkey's incorporation into the organisation.

The party's platform says that Germany is larger than the present-day Federal Republic, and calls for revision of the post-war border acknowledgements.^[9] A map of Germany on the party's website omits the border shared with Austria and leaves out the Oder-Neisse Line, which established the limits of federal Germany to the east and was agreed upon with Poland in 1990.^[10] While this suggests a desire to renegotiate the status of historical eastern Germany, it may be a populist effort to capitalise on the bitter sentiments of Germans expelled from these regions (especially Silesia, Pomerania, Danzig and East Prussia).

The party continues to pursue a "people's front" of the nationals [consisting of] the NPD, DVU and forces not attached to any party, which is supposed to develop into a base for an encompassing "German people's movement". The aggressive agitation of the NPD unabashedly aims towards the abolishment of the parliamentary democracy and the democratic constitutional state, although the use of violence is currently still officially rejected for tactical reasons.

The 2003 banning attempt

In 2003, the federal government, the Bundestag, and the Bundesrat jointly attempted to ban the NPD in a trial before the Federal Constitutional Court, the Bundesverfassungsgericht, the highest court in Germany with the exclusive power to ban parties if they are found to be "anti-constitutional." However, the case was thrown out when it was discovered that a large percentage of the NPD's inner circle were in fact undercover agents or informants of the German secret services, like the federal Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz. They include a former deputy chairman of the party and author of an anti-Semitic tract that formed a central part of the government's case. A number of other intelligence services' agents remain undetected. Since the government assemblies were unwilling to fully disclose their agents' identities and activities, the court found it impossible to decide which moves by the party were based on genuine party decisions and which were controlled by the secret services in an attempt to further the ban. "The party was, in part, responding to the government's dictates" the court said. "The presence of the state at the leadership level makes influence on its aims and activities unavoidable," it concluded.

World War II and Holocaust memory controversies

On 21 January 2005, during a silence in the Saxon state assembly in Dresden to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, twelve members of the NPD walked out in protest. The NPD was upset that a moment of silence was being held for those who died in the Auschwitz camp and that none was being given for those who died during the bombing of Dresden in World War II, with the anniversary of both events falling relatively close to each other. Holger Apfel, leader of the NPD in Saxony and deputy leader of the party nationwide, made a speech in the Saxon State Parliament in which he called the Allied forces of the United States of America and Britain "mass murderers" because of their role in the bombing.

Voigt voiced his support and reiterated the statement, which some controversially claimed was a violation of the German law which forbids Holocaust denial.

The NPD has come under criticism for allegedly exerting party influence by means of "intimidation," creating "national free zones" in areas where their support is the strongest. This tactic is seen by some as an attempt by the NPD to circumvent their marginal electoral status.^[13] The party utilised this strategy to prevent a self-declared anti-fascist concert by musician Konstantin Wecker in Halberstadt, Saxony-Anhalt; vowing to buy out the tickets and put NPD supporters in attendance at that March 2006 show.
