Becker Riexinger

Becker Riexinger has been co-leader of the German political party DIE LINKE since 2012. His roots lie in the labor movement as a trade union leader in the Stuttgart region's service sector union “ver.di.” During his tenure in DIE LINKE he has advanced a strategy of "connective class politics" and a "connective party," which combines union-oriented left politics with an emphasis on the left Green New Deal.
