The III. Path or The Third Path (German: Der III. Weg, Der Dritte Weg) is a far-right and neo-Nazi political party in Germany.[6][7]
It was founded on September 28, 2013 by former NPD officials, and activists from the banned Free Network South. They have ties with Assad's government in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon,[8] the National Corps, Right Sector and Svoboda in Ukraine,[9] the Nordic Resistance Movement in the Nordic countries[10] and the in Turkey. Their founder and chairman is Klaus Armstroff.[11] The party mostly operates in Thuringia, Bavaria and Brandenburg.[12]
A group of people bearing Der Dritte Weg flags marched in through a town in Saxony on 1 May 2019, the day before the Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust, carrying a banner saying "Social justice instead of criminal foreigners". The Central Council of Jews said that the state government should ban such marches if it were serious about tackling right-wing extremism.[13] The party stood in the 2019 European elections.
