Pro-movement
The pro-movement () or the pro-parties (''pro-parteien'') was understood to be a conglomerate of parties, voter associations and associations in Germany that were de jure independent, but de facto closely intertwined with one another in terms of personnel, organization and program. The pro-Cologne association and the pro-NRW and pro-Germany parties acted as central organizations. After the self-dissolution of pro Germany and pro Cologne in 2017 and 2018 and the conversion of pro NRW into an association in 2019, the activities of the pro movement were largely discontinued. However, there are still a few local groups such as the Pro Chemnitz citizens' movement. Social scientists and constitutional protection authorities classified the pro-movement as far right and anti-constitutional. In self-descriptions, it described itself as right-wing populist, conservative or “ liberal” and oriented towards other right-wing populist parties in Europe such as the FPÖ in Austria or t ...

Far-right Politics In Germany (1945–present)
The far-right in Germany () slowly reorganised itself after the fall of Nazi Germany and the dissolution of the Nazi Party in 1945. Denazification was carried out in Germany from 1945 to 1949 by the Allied forces of World War II, with an attempt of eliminating Nazism from the country. However, various far-right parties emerged in the post-war period, with varying success. Most parties only lasted a few years before either dissolving or being banned, and explicitly far-right parties rarely gained seats in the Bundestag (West Germany's and now modern Germany's federal parliament) post-WWII until the 2010s. In the communist state of East Germany, open right-wing radicalism was relatively weak until the 1980s. Later, smaller extremist groups formed (e.g. those associated with football violence). The most successful far-right party in Germany in the immediate post-war period was the Deutsche Rechtspartei (German Right Party), which attracted former Nazis and won five seats in the ...

Corruption
Corruption is a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense that is undertaken by a person or an organization that is entrusted in a position of authority to acquire illicit benefits or abuse power for one's gain. Corruption may involve activities like bribery, influence peddling, and embezzlement, as well as practices that are legal in many countries, such as lobbying.

Contemporary corruption is perceived as most common in kleptocracies, oligarchies, narco-states, Authoritarianism, authoritarian states, and mafia states, however, more recent research and policy statements acknowledge that it also exists in wealthy capitalist e ...
