Which party was effectually brought down by the activities of the New Forum movement that Gauck co-founded?

  • Christian Democratic Union

  • Social Democratic Party

  • Socialist Unity Party of Germany

  • National Democratic Party

Answer

The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), the ruling party of East Germany, was effectively dismantled due to the efforts of the New Forum movement co-founded by Joachim Gauck. This peaceful democratic movement, characterized by its non-confrontational approach, played a pivotal role in eroding the power and support base of the SED, ultimately contributing to its downfall and East Germany's subsequent reunification with West Germany.
