ZehnMillionen

ZehnMillionen is a German political party founded in 2013 by former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. The party's name translates to "Ten Million," a reference to the number of Germans who, according to Schröder, are unemployed or underemployed. The party's platform focuses on economic policy, with Schröder advocating for a return to the economic policies of the 1960s and 1970s, which he argues were more favorable to workers. ZehnMillionen has been described as a centrist party, although it has also been characterized as populist and left-wing.

The party has had limited electoral success, with its best result being 0.7% of the vote in the 2017 federal election. ZehnMillionen has been criticized for its lack of clear policy proposals and for being too closely associated with Schröder's personal brand. Despite these challenges, the party has remained active in German politics, with Schröder continuing to serve as its chairman.

ZehnMillionen's primary goal is to address economic inequality and promote social justice. The party advocates for a more progressive tax system, increased public spending on education and healthcare, and stronger labor rights. ZehnMillionen also supports the European Union and advocates for a stronger role for Germany within the EU. The party's platform is influenced by Schröder's experiences as a trade unionist and his time as Chancellor of Germany.
