IdVv

IdVv, short for "Identität und Vielfalt" (Identity and Diversity), is a political party in Germany. It was founded in 2017 as a successor to the "Alternative für Deutschland" (AfD) in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The party positions itself as a conservative and nationalist political force, emphasizing themes such as national identity, cultural preservation, and skepticism towards immigration and multiculturalism.

The party's platform advocates for a strong national identity, promoting traditional German values and culture. It opposes mass immigration, arguing that it threatens social cohesion and cultural homogeneity. IdVv also expresses skepticism towards the European Union, favoring a more sovereign and independent role for Germany within the EU.

In terms of economic policy, IdVv supports free market principles but also advocates for protective measures to safeguard German industries and workers. The party is critical of globalization and advocates for policies that prioritize domestic economic interests.

IdVv has participated in various regional elections in Germany, but its electoral success has been limited compared to larger parties like the AfD. The party's influence and membership remain concentrated in specific regions, particularly in Baden-Württemberg.

Critics of IdVv often associate it with right-wing populism and nationalism, while supporters view it as a necessary counterbalance to what they perceive as the dominant left-wing and centrist political establishment. The party's rhetoric and policies have sparked debates about immigration, national identity, and the direction of German politics.
