Grassroots Democratic Party of Germany

The Grassroots Democratic Party of Germany (German: Basisdemokratische Partei Deutschland, abbreviated German: dieBasis) is a political party in Germany.

The declared aim of the party is to strengthen grassroots democracy in society and politics, as they consider that many areas of life are dominated by economic interests, profits, and fights for political power.

[2] Political scientists and media reports however generally identify the party as primarily supported by lockdown opponents and anti-vaccination campaigners.

According to an investigation by RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland, however, its membership combines believers in alternative medicine and esotericism with far right conspiracy theorists such as Reichsbürger.

[4] The party has never won any seats in the Bundestag, state Landtags or the European Parliament.
