Szakpolitikai kompetencia
Thuringia governance adequate under Ramelow. Berlin rent cap struck down. Party collapse from 9.2% to sub-5% suggests organizational failure.
Thuringia governance adequate, Berlin rent cap struck down, party collapse
Nyilatkozatok
“Ich bin der Ministerpräsident aller Thüringerinnen und Thüringer.”
— Bodo Ramelow (Die Linke Ministerpräsident Thüringen), (Re-election after the Kemmerich crisis)
Mi történt:
- Thuringia under Ramelow (2014-2024): generally competent governance, cross-party cooperation
- Berlin rent cap (Mietendeckel, 2020): struck down by BVerfG as unconstitutional (Land vs. Bund competence)
- Party collapse: from 9.2% (2017) to 4.9% (2021) to sub-5% (2025)
- In Thuringia: from 31% (2019) to 13.1% (2024) — loss of 18 percentage points
- In Saxony: 4.5% (from 20.4% in 2019) — failed to enter parliament
- BSW split destroyed parliamentary faction (Oct 2023)
Párt védekezése / kontextus
Die Linke argues the Thuringia record shows governance competence, that the Berlin rent cap was constitutionally innovative (later models followed), and that the electoral collapse was driven by the BSW split, not policy failure.
Thuringia under Ramelow: only Die Linke government record to assess
Nyilatkozatok
“Ich bin der erste linke Ministerpräsident. Ich werde zeigen, dass Die Linke regieren kann.”
— Bodo Ramelow, (Inaugural speech as Germany's first Die Linke minister-president)
“Zufriedenheit mit der Landesregierung: 57%”
— Infratest dimap Thüringen, (Ramelow had higher approval than most German state premiers)
Mi történt:
- Ramelow governed Thuringia 2014-2024 (10 years)
- Cross-party cooperation: worked with SPD, Grüne, later CDU toleration
- Approval: 57% satisfaction with state government (2019, Infratest)
- Re-elected 2019 with 31% (strongest party)
- Managed COVID-19 in Thuringia without major failures
- BUT: Lost 18 percentage points by 2024 (31% → 13.1%)
- BUT: Did not prevent AfD rise in Thuringia (32.8% by 2024)
- BUT: Berlin rent cap attempt struck down by BVerfG (2021)
Párt védekezése / kontextus
Die Linke points to Ramelow's 10-year governance record as proof the party can run a state competently. The 2024 electoral collapse was primarily caused by the BSW split taking 15.8% of voters who previously chose Die Linke.
Ígéretek betartása
Ukraine position satisfies neither camp. Core social promises never tested at federal level. Thuringia governance mixed.

Nyilatkozatok
“Wir verurteilen den russischen Angriffskrieg. [...] Wir lehnen Waffenlieferungen ab.”
— Die Linke Parteivorstand, (Attempting to condemn Russia while opposing all military support)
“Man kann nicht gleichzeitig solidarisch mit der Ukraine sein und ihr jede Hilfe zur Selbstverteidigung verweigern.”
— Gregor Gysi, (Internal party critic of the official position)
Mi történt:
- Party declared solidarity with Ukraine AND opposed weapons deliveries — contradictory for many voters
- Lost voters on both sides: pro-Ukraine voters went to Grüne/SPD, pro-peace voters went to BSW
- The position arguably contributed to the BSW split (Oct 2023)
- Thuringia governance (Ramelow): competent but no federal promises to assess
- Federal level: opposition party with limited ability to deliver on any promises

BSW split destroyed parliamentary presence (Oct 2023)

“Das ist ein schwerer Tag für die Partei. Aber Die Linke wird weiterleben.”
— Dietmar Bartsch, (Remaining Die Linke co-chair after losing 10 MPs)
Mi történt:
- Oct 2023: Wagenknecht + 10 MPs leave Die Linke
- Die Linke lost Fraktionsstatus (minimum 36 MPs or 5%+3 Direktmandate)
- Became a "Gruppe" with reduced parliamentary rights and funding
- Lost committee chairs, reduced speaking time, smaller staff budget

- BTW 2025: Die Linke failed 5% threshold entirely (estimated 3-4%)

Párt védekezése / kontextus
Die Linke argues the split was Wagenknecht's personal decision driven by ego and Russia sympathy, not policy failure. They note the party maintained its core social justice platform and that the remaining members represent the authentic left tradition.
