The Left Brandenburg
The Left Brandenburg (German: Die Linke. Brandenburg) is the regional association of the party The Left in the state of Brandenburg. The regional chairmen are Katharina Slanina and Sebastian Walter, who is also the parliamentary group leader in the Landtag of Brandenburg. HistoryUnificationThe Brandenburg regional association of the Left Party was formed as part of the nationwide merger of PDS and WASG in 2007. On 8 September of the same year, the regional associations of both parties united at the party conference in Brandenburg an der Havel. The party was already represented in the state parliament before the 2009 state election through the previous PDS parliamentary group. At that time, it was in opposition to the red-black state government of Matthias Platzeck. After the state election that took place at the same time as the 2009 federal election, it formed a coalition in the state parliament from 2009 to 2019 as a junior partner together with the SPD Brandenburg and co-formed the state government. Since the 2019 state election, the state government has been formed by a Kenya coalition, so the party has been in opposition since then. Sebastian Walter is leading the party into the 2024 Brandenburg state election.[2] Divisions and mergersThe state party is divided into 17 district associations, each of which corresponds to the districts and independent cities, with a joint district association in the independent city of Cottbus and in the Spree-Neiße district.[3] The highest decision-making body is the state party conference, which is elected for a two-year term. According to the statutes, it meets at least once a calendar year. It elects the state executive committee for a two-year term, which leads the party between state party conferences. The state executive committee consists of one or two chairmen, one or more deputies, a state manager and a state treasurer. The members of the extended executive committee are determined by the number of members of the executive board and may not exceed a total of 18 members. There is also a state committee as an organ of the state association with consultative, control and initiative functions vis-à-vis the state executive committee. The state committee consists of a total of 38 members, the majority of whom are sent from the district associations (30 places), the state-wide associations (4 places) and the state executive committee and the youth association (2 places each).[citation needed] The Left Brandenburg has several intra-party associations. These can be freely formed by the members and are not official branches of the state party. The associations work independently on certain topics or, in the case of the Communist Platform, are a political movement. In 2014, the following state-wide associations exist:
In addition, there is Left Youth Solid Brandenburg, a regional association of the recognized party-affiliated youth association of the Left with around 300 members.[3] Former party leaders(Until 2007 for the PDS/Left Party PDS)
