Financial implications of abandoning the Left's convention could total up to half a million euros

The Left Party's federal conference, originally scheduled to take place from October 30 to November 1 in Erfurt, has been cancelled. The decision is expected to be made official by the party executive on Tuesday.

The conference, which was previously postponed from June, was estimated to cost around half a million euros. If it is cancelled so close to the date, the party will have to pay almost everything.

The conference was scheduled to take place at the Erfurt trade fair, and federal manager JΓΆrg Schindler has been tasked with reaching a financially acceptable agreement with the venue.

The cancellation of the conference is due to the financial losses the party is facing. The exact details of which functionaries were involved in the decision to postpone and ultimately cancel the federal party congress weekend in Erfurt are not currently known.

The state of Thuringia cannot easily cancel the event, as it would also mean cancelling other events. This presents a challenge for the party and the state, as they navigate the financial implications of the cancellation.

The conference was to be limited to October 30 before being cancelled entirely. The original schedule for the conference had it running from October 30 to November 1.

It is unclear at this time if an alternative date or plan for the conference will be announced. The party executive is expected to make a decision on Tuesday regarding the cancellation.

The cancellation of the Left party's federal conference is a significant blow for the party, as they face a significant financial loss as a result. The party will now have to find a way to move forward and address the financial challenges they face.
