ARPAktionen

ARPAktionen, short for Aktionen der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Rechtspopulistische Propaganda, were a series of political actions and campaigns initiated by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Rechtspopulistische Propaganda (ARP), a German far-right political party. The ARP was founded in 2015 and is known for its anti-immigration and nationalist stance. ARPAktionen aimed to raise awareness about the party's policies and to mobilize support for its political goals.

One of the most notable ARPAktionen was the "Bundestagswahl 2017" campaign, which focused on the upcoming federal election. The campaign involved large-scale protests, rallies, and public demonstrations, often featuring the party's leader, Alexander Gauland. The ARP sought to highlight issues such as the refugee crisis, the perceived threat of Islamization, and the need for stricter immigration policies.

Another significant ARPAktion was the "Gegengift" campaign, which aimed to counter what the ARP perceived as the influence of left-wing and Islamist ideologies. This campaign included the distribution of literature, the organization of public events, and the promotion of alternative viewpoints on social media platforms.

The ARP's actions have been criticized by various political groups and media outlets for their inflammatory rhetoric and tactics. Critics argue that the party's focus on immigration and nationalism has contributed to a climate of fear and division in German society. Despite these criticisms, the ARP has continued to participate in political debates and has occasionally gained representation in local and regional elections.
