Social Democratic Party (SPD)

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) is a major political party in Germany, founded in the 19th century. Initially focused on workers' rights and socialism, it has evolved to promote social justice, democracy, and a mixed economy. The SPD advocates for progressive tax policies, comprehensive social welfare programs, and strong labor rights. It aims to balance economic growth with social equity, addressing issues like climate change and education. As a central-left party, the SPD seeks to represent the interests of the working and middle classes while cooperating with other European social democratic parties.
