History
editThe CFPD was founded in 2006 with its seat in Ingolstadt. Its statute, a requirement for party registration in Germany, is dated 28 March 2007.[2] The CFPD was founded as the first and last international branch of the Christian Falangist Party of America (CFPA), which sought to export its ideas abroad and establish counterpart political parties in several countries. The CFPD would dissolve in 2009, having never taken part in an election, only shortly before its American counterpart.[1][3]
Ideology
editThe CFPD was a Falangist party and adopted non-denominational Christianity. The party critiqued liberalism and radical feminism while also standing in opposition to the perceived Islamisation of Europe and Germany. Similarly to its American counterpart, it viewed Israel as important and worthy of protection. On its website, the party listed key beliefs which the party saw themselves for and against, these are:[4]
In 2008, Belltower.News described the CFPD as a "weird political sect".[5]
