Massive growth: Berlin left -wing wave of 508 new members in 4 weeks

according to a report by www.tesspiegel.de , the Berlin left -wing listed a massive entry of new party members, almost four weeks after the foundation of the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance. 508 new members have been added since October 19, while 121 former members left the party. Die Linke had particularly recorded on Monday, with 269 applications for membership on this day - which was referred to as the "wave of entry". This development is part of a nationwide campaign of members of civil society organizations or social movements, which led to an increase of around 500 entries nationwide alone. The mass of new members is a challenge and requires a review of what people bring politically. In addition, the inner -city associations must be more present and gain trust in the outskirts.

The strong increase in members is recorded throughout the state association, but in particular in Linke-Neukölln, where 101 new members have been added. Ruben Lehnert, district chief and deputy head of state, sees Neukölln as a "success model" for the party. The Berlin left plans to welcome as many new members as possible at a planned new members' meeting in December. According to Lehnert, this strong growth is the result of a long -term, planned party building on site.
