<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pro-movement</span>

The pro-movement or the pro-parties was understood to be a conglomerate of parties, voter associations and associations in Germany that were de jure independent, but de facto closely intertwined with one another in terms of personnel, organization and program. The pro-Cologne association and the pro-NRW and pro-Germany parties acted as central organizations. After the self-dissolution of pro Germany and pro Cologne in 2017 and 2018 and the conversion of pro NRW into an association in 2019, the activities of the pro movement were largely discontinued. However, there are still a few local groups such as the Pro Chemnitz citizens' movement.
