The Blue Party (German: Die blaue Partei) was a minor political party in Germany that existed from 2017 to 2019. It was founded by Frauke Petry after resigning as leader of the Alternative for Germany party (AfD).[4] It entered candidates in elections to German state parliaments, but received few votes.[5] The party dissolved itself at the end of 2019.[6]
