Left Party (Germany)

The Left Party (Die Linke) is a political party in Germany that was founded in 2007, emerging from a merger between leftist groups, including former members of the East German Socialist Unity Party. It advocates for social justice, combating income inequality, and enhancing social welfare. The party supports stronger public services, workers' rights, and environmentally sustainable policies. It often positions itself against neoliberal economic policies and is critical of NATO. The Left Party appeals to voters seeking alternatives to mainstream parties, especially in regions affected by economic decline and social issues.
