The political landscape in Germany has seen a significant shift, with several parties experiencing a surge in membership in recent months. According to a report by the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" newspaper, the Greens party and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have both witnessed a notable increase in their membership numbers.
The Greens party, currently boasting a membership of approximately 170,000, has seen a significant boost following the collapse of the traffic light government. More than 40,000 new members have joined the party in the months that followed, bringing the total membership to over 170,000. Party leader Ines Schwerdtner attributes this growth to the way they do politics and engage with the public, which seems to be resonating with the populace.
The Left party, under the leadership of Ines Schwerdtner, has also seen a substantial increase in its membership. In just a few months, the party has gained 64,000 new members, pushing its current membership to 120,000. The party's average age stands at 38.62 years.
The AfD party, on the other hand, has doubled its membership from two years ago, now standing at 70,000 members. A spokesperson for the party provided this membership number to dpa. The alliance "Sahra Wagenknecht" has also been gaining members, with a reported total of 4,500 in recent months.
The Left party itself provided the information about the membership growth and average age of its members. The AfD party's membership growth and the growth of the alliance "Sahra Wagenknecht" were also reported by the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".
At the end of 2023, the Left party had approximately 50,800 members. The exact date or period of the membership increase for the Greens party is not provided in the available search results. However, it is clear that the political climate in Germany is witnessing a shift, with these parties gaining strength and influence.
As we move towards upcoming elections, these growing membership numbers are seen as a source of strength by the parties themselves. The Greens party and the Left party, in particular, view this as a sign of a shift in public sentiment and a potential for success in the upcoming elections. The AfD party, despite facing criticism and controversy, continues to grow its base, posing a challenge to the traditional political parties in Germany.
