Content profile
- Social : The parents' party campaigned for a society in which children have the highest priority. An important concern is the creation of an educational salary that is subject to social insurance and is independent of income in order to counteract the social decline of parents due to the birth of a child.
- Taxes : In the opinion of the parents' party, strong shoulders should be weighed more heavily than weak ones. Therefore, high earners should be taxed higher.
- Labor market : The parents' party wanted to limit the weekly working hours to 35 hours and spoke out in favor of general retirement from 60 in order to create additional jobs.
- Education : According to the Parents' Party, education begins in kindergarten. There, the educational quality should be increased significantly. The party also advocated general free childcare and school attendance.
history
The Parents ' Party was founded in Dahlewitz in January 2005 as a split from the German Family Party , and the Brandenburg State Association was formed at the same time. Wiebke Golke was elected the first party chairman. In May 2005 the regional association of Saxony-Anhalt was founded, in January 2006 the regional association of Berlin. The parents' party achieved 1.6% of the second vote in the state election in Saxony-Anhalt in 2006 .
In January 2006, after a press conference by the Berlin State Parents' Committee, the founding of its own party was announced, which originally called itself the “Berlin Parents' Party - the Education Party”, but then renamed itself the Education Party in order to avoid any confusion with the Parents' Party. In the 2006 election to the Berlin House of Representatives , the parents' party received 0.7% of the second vote.
Since November 4, 2010, the parent party is no longer listed in the address directory by the Federal Returning Officer.

Fraud process
In November 2009, several party officials were accused of violating the party law . On February 23, 2016, several defendants were sentenced to probation or fines for fraud and violations of political party law. Using a complicated cycle system, they had pushed fake donations back and forth between member accounts and the party account in order to receive a higher share of the state party funding for the party. The main defendant had already paid back the amounts paid out as a result of the incorrect statement of accounts for 2007 to the state treasury in 2009. In the course of the investigation it became known that Werner Jock, who was last reported as federal chairman, was an invented person.
