The program was interesting to read because I wondered whether it is radical or not.
I have picked out a few items they are referring to and in the following I`m going to sum them up. Here we go:
1.) Taxes
They call for the abolishment of the business activity package (Konjunkturpaket) and the support of single branches and major enterprises. Instead of that they ask for a recovery of taxes for the citizens.
2.) Work has to be profitable!
They call for the abolishment of the inheritance tax (Erbschaftssteuer)
3.) Liability of banks
They call for a national, let`s say watcher or institution, which evaluates the finance business realistically. (Especially in context with the US). Moreover they are pro liability for people which are in high positions within a bank.
4.) No more Afghanistan!
They call for more presence of the police in the public, for the rejection of criminal migrants and for example for the prohibition of games which convey glorify violence.
5.) Integration means assimilation!
Who tries to assimilate will be advanced, who does not has to go. No dual citizenship.
Who is willing to assimilate should speak our language and be willing to work.
6.) School has to be whip into shape!
They call for the preservation of our trinomial school system and the abolishment of ineffective comprehensive school experiments.
7.) Respect the civil rights!
They are pro petition for a referendum and a direct election of the Federal President (Bundespräsident). Moreover they are against censorship on the internet, but do not sanction for example children pornography.
8.) Secure the electrical power supply!
They are pro continuing existing atomic power plants, but on the condition of a very high security level. Furthermore they are against building new atomic power plants. Instead of that they advocate alternative energies and the research in it.
Ok, that were some facts I found important to mention. In my opinion their demands are not too radical. In some facts I even agree with them. I am not a racist or intolerant, but I do think too, that people who are not willing to adopt and criminal, should not live in our country. Nevertheless the state should do more to integrate migrants which find assimilating difficult. If they are not cooperative than you can think of rejection.
Besides that I would guess that a lot of people are pro liability for people which are in high positions within a bank. Think of the world economic crisis.
What I find critical is their attitude towards the islam. Look at the picture below and what they write in the program. By creating those posters it is no wonder people think the party is right-winged.
Anyway the whole program does not appear too radical or far-right. Maybe that is the reason why the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution does not obey the party anymore.
But if you want to make up your own mind, look at the program on your own. Have fun with it :-) :
