Die Linke Charts Path Forward as Key Opposition Force in Bundestag

Following its electoral resurgence, the party unveils a 100-day plan focusing on housing and childcare while navigating internal debates and positioning against the AfD.

Die Linke has doubled its Bundestag seats to 64 and increased membership to over 110,000, marking a significant political comeback under new leadership.
The party's 100-day program prioritizes a Mietengipfel (housing summit) and Kitagipfel (childcare summit) to address pressing social issues.
Internal debates persist on defense spending, Ukraine aid, and Middle East policy, reflecting the party's ideological diversity and challenges in unifying its new members.
Die Linke has expressed conditional willingness to collaborate with CDU and SPD on constitutional reforms, provided there is no cooperation with the AfD.
The party aims to counter the AfD's influence, particularly in eastern states like Saxony-Anhalt, while preparing for state elections in 2026.
