The Party of Humanists (German: Partei der Humanisten) is a minor political party in Germany that first participated in the 2017 federal election.[1]
The underlying ideology is evolutionary humanism.[2] The core themes of the Humanist Party are science and education, the right of self-determination of the individual, and secularization.[3] For example, the party supports the liberal and self-responsible use of drugs,[4] supports legal voluntary euthanasia[5][6] and is against circumcision of children.[7] The party also supports the implementation of universal basic income.[3]
Currently, the Party of Humanists is the only party in Germany that specifically targets non-religious people, freethinkers, and atheists as voters.[8]
The party emerged from a Facebook group called "Initiative Humanismus" with over 700 members. One year after the decision to establish a party, the Party of Humanists was founded on 4 October 2014 in Berlin.[13][14] On 21 March 2017, the Party held a joint press conference along with the Pirate Party Germany, the Liberal Democrats, the New Liberals, the Transhuman Party Germany, and the youth organization of The Left to announce a "socialliberale proclamation" and better cooperation among the participating organizations.[15][16][17][18][19]
The current federal executive committee of the Party of Humanists consists of eleven members:[20]
