Green and left boom: number of members in Brandenburg rises rapidly!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - The political parties in Brandenburg experience a remarkable increase in their number of members. The Greens in particular recorded an impressive membership in 2024. According to Tagesspiegel, the Greens have increased their number of members to 3,456, which corresponds to an increase of 778 members and a percentage increase of 29 percent compared to the previous year. This development shows that the Greens in Brandenburg are not only stable, but also in the expansion phase.

The Left Party has obviously benefited from the current political discourses. Despite a setback in September 2023, when she lost approval in the state parliament, there is a positive development. The state manager Stefan Wollenberg has reported 478 new members since the beginning of the year, which has already exceeded the value of the entire year 2024. The Left Party now has around 4,580 members, the highest level since the end of 2022.

The AfD also records a membership growth and has increased its number of members to 2,771. This corresponds to an increase of 27 percent. 143 new members had entered the past two months, while 437 admission applications are currently being processed. However, this happens against the background that the AfD is classified by the state constitutional protection as a right -wing extremist suspicion.

The CDU had moderate gains in the same periods, with 5,420 members at the end of 2024 and an increase of 37 members. However, the increase of 0.7 percent remains rather modest compared to the previous year. The SPD, on the other hand, faces challenges because it recorded a loss of 16 in 2024. Nevertheless, the party currently has an increased number of membership applications, which may indicate a rethink.
