The European elections are coming up in the middle of the year. On this occasion, this synopsis analyzes the already published election manifestos of various German parties and compares them along eight content areas and the sub-topics contained therein. The synopsis covers the election manifestos of the CDU/CSU, SPD, the FDP, Alliance 90/The Greens, the AfD, the Left Party and the Sarah Wagenknecht Alliance. The Free Voters is not listed due to unpublished election manifestos (as of 16.02.2024).

The synopsis is a product of the Analysis and Consulting Department. The contact persons for this publication are Ms. Daphne Wolter, Head of the Democracy, Law and Parties Department, and Sebastian Weise, Consultant for Digital Democracy and Party Analysis, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
