Grassroots Democratic Party of Germany
Political party in Germany / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 a front for the "Querdenker" movement of lockdown opponents and anti-vaccination campaigners.[3]

The party cannot be easily placed on the political spectrum. 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]
