A new survey conducted by the "Insa" Institute shows that the Die Linke party (Left Party) has surpassed the Die Grünen party (Greens) for the first time in nearly seven years across Germany. According to the results of the "Sunday Trend", which is conducted weekly for the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, the Left Party received 11% of voting intentions, an increase of one percentage point compared to the previous week, while the Greens party fell to 10%.
