Linke: program for the 2025 Hamburg state election

The Left wants to preserve the mix of retail and small business in the city's neighborhoods and calls for open-ended commercial leases. Micro-businesses and solo self-employed people should get their own advice and support service.

Small shops in the neighborhoods are struggling. Rents often rise sharply. The Left wants shop leases with no end date. Small firms and self-employed people should get easy access to advice and support.

The Left wants to bring the port's infrastructure fully back into city ownership and opposes selling stakes in the port operator HHLA and terminals to shipping companies. This is meant to give the city democratic control over the port.

The port is very important for Hamburg. The Left wants the port to belong fully to the city. The city should not sell parts to shipping companies. Hamburg should work together with other ports.

The Left wants to enshrine a ban on privatization in Hamburg's constitution and bring key infrastructure back into public ownership. It aims for a democratized economy in which workers help decide on production and distribution.

The city should no longer sell public property. This should be written in Hamburg's constitution. Important facilities should belong to the city again. Workers should have more say in their companies.

The Left wants Hamburg to reintroduce a state minimum wage, set at 15 euros an hour immediately. It would apply to city-owned enterprises, including sheltered workshops for people with disabilities. Bremen serves as the model; the party considers the federal minimum wage too low to prevent poverty.

The Left wants a separate minimum wage for Hamburg. It should be 15 euros an hour. It should apply in companies owned by the city. It should also apply in workshops for people with disabilities. Later the minimum wage should rise along with union pay scales.

The Left wants public contracts to go only to companies that comply with the applicable industry collective agreements. Business subsidies would also be tied to collective bargaining coverage and other criteria of good work. The aim is higher coverage; the party points to the EU target of 80 percent.

The city awards many contracts to companies. The Left wants only companies with a collective agreement to get contracts. A collective agreement sets pay and working hours for many workers. Subsidies should also go only to such companies. The city should check labor rules more strictly.

People who get Bürgergeld (citizen's income) must follow rules. If not, the office cuts their money. This is called a sanction. The Left wants to end these cuts. Hamburg should push for this at the federal level. Every neighborhood should have social services.

The Left wants to stop utilities from cutting off electricity or gas over unpaid bills and to set up a hardship fund for energy debts. People on benefits would also have more costs covered and get better service at public offices.

The Left wants to set up city-run care centers offering affordable care for children, older people, and people needing long-term care. Care work is to be organized collectively and shared equally between genders, and the pay gap between women and men closed.

The city should build its own care centers. They look after children, old people, and people who need care. This should be good and affordable. Women should earn as much as men. The city should check this regularly.

People 65 and older should get the Deutschlandticket for 29 euros. That is a transit pass for all of Germany. Older people on basic income support should get more money. Retirees should get into museums for free. Every neighborhood should have meeting places for seniors.

The Left wants to abolish the debt brake in Hamburg and at the federal level to allow much more public investment. In the party's view, strong government stimulus is needed to overcome the economic crisis.

SAGA belongs to the city of Hamburg. It rents out a great many apartments. The Left wants SAGA to use its profits for repairs and new homes. It should no longer hand money to the city. Rents at SAGA should go down.

The Left wants to take large, profit-oriented housing companies into public ownership. It also calls for a citywide right of first refusal for the public sector and a new non-profit housing status. In the party's view, the shortage of affordable housing cannot be solved by new construction alone.
