"Clarity in Politics" initiative

Dieter Rickert started the initiative " Clarity in Politics ", which wanted to "shake up" the country with a publicity campaign. The campaign should cost around 100 million euros per year and be financed through donations to a foundation. The initiative was founded on July 19, 2003, when Dieter Rickert invited 450 entrepreneurs and scientists to Munich. 100 people came to the meeting. The idea of ​​establishing a foundation was given up in 2004 due to the high expenditure. Juergen B. Donges , Paul Kirchhof , Hans Tietmeyer and Werner Weidenfeld wanted to make themselves available for the Foundation Presidium . Dieter Rickert recommended the supporters of the foundation idea to financially support the Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM), with which the initiative "Clarity in Politics" wanted to cooperate. Dieter Rickert is one of the founding members of the INSM Friends' Association.
