Stresemann Stiftung
The Stresemann Stiftung (foundation) is named after Gustav Stresemann, who was leader of the German People's Party between 1918-1929.[1]
It describes itself as an organisation 'committed to the preservation and advancement of the liberal-democratic legal system' after 'the example of the great statesman Gustav Stresemann who always understood the necessity of shielding Germany from extremist forces from the left as well as from the right.'[2]
It claims to 'research on the historical development of the values of the Western community as well as of the threats of collectivist political and religious ideologies' and develop 'solutions to current problems and debates, particularly on issues of immigration, good governance, democracy and direct citizen participation, as well as the future of the European Union, its currency and values.'[2]
Activities
It is the publisher of Citizen Times and online German political magazine funded by the right wing Zionist US-based Middle East Forum, which publishes the work of many counterjihad writers.[1]
It has hosted events at the OSCE jointly with Bürgerbewegung Pax Europa.
The organisation was a signatory to the 2012 Brussels Declaration.[3]
Also in 2012, it launched the Initiative for Freedom of the Press, which reportedly had the backing of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.[3]
