The III. Path or The Third Path (German: Der III. Weg, Der Dritte Weg) is a far-right and neo-Nazi political party in Germany.[6][7]
It was founded on 28 September 2013 by former NPD officials, and activists from the banned Free Network South. They have ties with Assad's government in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon,[8] the National Corps, Misanthropic Division, Right Sector and Svoboda in Ukraine,[9][10] and the Nordic Resistance Movement in the Nordic countries.[11] Their founder and chairman is Klaus Armstroff.[12] The party mostly operates in Thuringia, Bavaria and Brandenburg.[13]
A group of people bearing Der Dritte Weg flags marched in through a town in Saxony on 1 May 2019, the day before the Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust, carrying a banner saying "Social justice instead of criminal foreigners". The Central Council of Jews said that the state government should ban such marches if it were serious about tackling right-wing extremism.[14] The party stood in the 2019 European elections, achieving 0.03% of the vote.
Name
The party is registered at the Federal Returning Office as "DER DRITTE WEG" short-form: "III. Weg".[15] According to the party's website, the official English translation of the name is "The Third Way", stylized as "THE THIRD WAY".[16] Despite this, the party's name is commonly translated as "The Third Path" or "The III. Path".[17][18]
Ideology
The party describes itself as national revolutionary and partially bases itself on the ideology of the left wing of the Nazi Party, namely the Strasser Brothers.[19] The III. Path has widely been described as a ultranationalist and neo-Nazi party.[2][3][9][18]
10 point program
On its website, the party presents a 10-point election program, available in 12 European languages. [16][20]
