For those who are unfamiliar with German politics....the Linke Party is what evolved out of the Communist Party.
Today, with various members who've left to join the newly formed Wagenknecht Party....the Linke management folks said 'enough'.
On the 6th of December.....they will dissolve.
End totally? Well....they still exist on the books, but in terms of special benefits within the Bundestag.....that will dissolve to some degree, and sponsorship cash from the Bundestag will decrease.
They've been around as 'Linke' for about 20 years.
What did the money add up to....for sponsorship? Yearly....about 11-to-12 million Euro. For the 100-odd employees supporting the functions? Well....they will be given some type of termination and look for fresh new jobs.
What the typical German will say? Less TV coverage obviously. Some might say from the fall 2021 election....the Linke Party was on thin ice.
