The Alliance for Health, Peace and Social Justice (short name: AGFG ) was a small German party . The AGFG was founded at the beginning of June 2005 and, according to its own information, had around 600 members. Former deputy chairman and the most prominent member of the party was Matthias Rath , who financed the party with six-figure euros a year. At the end of 2009 the dissolution of the party was announced, since the work “in a parliamentary system that does everything to keep other than the system-sustaining forces outside” is a “waste of energies”.

Political program

The core of the basic program formed the health philosophy of alternative medicine, Matthias Rath, who above all by its scientifically largely refuted treatment of diseases such as AIDS and cancer using vitamin supplements and natural remedies , known as cellular medicine , became known.

The party stated that it wanted to create a "healthy, peaceful and just world" by breaking the links between the pharmaceutical industry and the rest of the health system.

The AGFG saw such interrelationships, for example, in the H5N1 bird flu pandemic of 2006, which it described as a conspiracy of the pharmaceutical industry to "establish [a] pharmaceutical dictatorship". In its campaign “Stop nuclear war!”, Which it has been running since 2006, the party also warned of an imminent nuclear war, which is also aimed at boosting the pharmaceutical business.

The party saw a solution in the smashing of the pharmaceutical companies and comprehensive alternative medical treatment of the population. With the health costs saved in this way, research, especially in the field of cellular medicine , should be financed. The lowering of ancillary wage costs and state control are also intended to create new jobs. Another focus should be the promotion of renewable energies .

With the allied independent youth organization, the Youth Alliance , the party tried to address young people with modern communication channels such as an appealing homepage, free school newspapers and brochures. Since the end of 2007 at the latest, however, there have been no more activities of the Youth Alliance, and the homepage no longer exists.

Overall, the AGFG has tried to profile itself as "left" since about 2007, this was expressed, for example, in its participation in demonstrations against social cuts and the party's own posters on the subject of Hartz IV . Compared to its founding phase, the party was only very active to a limited extent and concentrated on participating in a few state elections (most recently in Hamburg in 2008 ).

Party statutes

Since August 12, 2005, the AGFG met the requirements for recognition as a political party under the Political Parties Act . According to their statutes , federal party conferences were not held publicly ; A decision of the federal executive committee was necessary for the admission of guests or representatives of the press. The party congress can be held as a general meeting or as a delegates' conference. In the form of a delegates' conference, each national association is entitled to send ten delegates for every hundred members. When new members were admitted, the Federal Executive Board was given the opportunity to object if there were significant reasons against admission .

history

The AGFG emerged in 2005 from the Rath Foundation , a sales and advertising channel for Rath's vitamin preparations.

Two weeks after the party was founded on June 6, 2005, it held its first federal congress in Kelkheim . After review by the Federal Election Committee on August 16, the party - like 25 other small parties - was allowed to run in the 2005 Bundestag election. However, because she was only able to present the necessary supporting signatures to the state election committee in Saxony , she only appeared there on the ballot paper. A complaint to the Federal Returning Officer about the signature check in Saxony-Anhalt was granted, but the AGFG did not reach the necessary 2,000 supporters even with the subsequent signatures. The complaints submitted by the party in the other federal states were also all dismissed on the basis of the current legal situation.

The AGFG tried to join the organ charge against Gerhard Schröder's “ bogus vote of confidence ” , but was not admitted because the interests of the party were different from those of the plaintiffs, Werner Schulz and Jelena Hoffmann .

Participation in elections

In the 2005 Bundestag election , the AGFG in Saxony received 21,343 second votes, 0.86 percent of the votes cast, which corresponds to around 0.05 percent nationwide.

The party took part in the state elections on March 26, 2006 in Rhineland-Palatinate (1,886 votes, 0.11 percent), Saxony-Anhalt (3,357 votes, 0.37 percent) and Baden-Württemberg (866 votes, 0.02 percent) but won no mandates.

The AGFG was also unable to achieve any political influence in the House of Representatives election in Berlin on September 18, 2006 and the state election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (0.2 percent each).

The AGFG refrained from participating in the state elections in 2008 in Hesse and Lower Saxony , but entered the state elections in Hamburg in 2008 with a state list and achieved 0.1 percent of the votes. Later elections such as the 2009 Bundestag election were no longer run.
