History edit
The party was founded in March 2021 against the Covid-19 prevention policies in Germany. The party claimed that the actions of the government did not fairly represent children.
The party participated in the 2021 German federal election, receiving 9,189 votes, and no representation in government.[2] Later, the party would participate in the 2022 North Rhine-Westphalia state election, winning 0.1% of the vote.[3]
Ideology edit
The party campaigns on the rights of children, poverty reduction and education. They have stated they intend to base German policy off of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The party has also made calls to lower the voting age to 14. [4]
