Lena Kreck

During 2007–08, Kreck was one of the federal co-spokespersons for Left Youth Solid, the newly unified youth association of The Left. She twice ran for youth policy spokesperson of the party, first in 2007 and again in 2009, but lost both times; first to Sascha Wagener and then to Niema Movassat.^[4]

In October 2019, at the suggestion of The Left parliamentary group, Kreck was proposed as a justice in the Berlin State Constitution Court before the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin. However, she fell short of the required two-thirds majority approval. The left-wing coalition government accused the Christian Democratic Union of abstaining from the vote despite pledging to confirm Kreck, though this could not be proven due to the secret ballot and lack of comment from the CDU.^[5]

After in the 2021 Berlin state election, Kreck was appointed Senator for Justice, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination in the Giffey senate.^[6] Kreck is considered close to the libertarian socialist Emancipatory Left current within the party, and served alongside Katja Kipping on the editorial board of the group's former journal Prague Spring.^[7] Kreck supports the prison abolition movement.^[8]
