The district associations control the party's local politics and are mainly responsible for direct communication with citizens and voters.

These serve as a permanent party congress and are intended to find answers to current issues.

The others are organizational working groups that are legitimized by the executive board and to which only members and individually approved supporters have access.

The party wants to operate independently of large donations and lobbyists and therefore tries to acquire supporters and small donors.

The membership fee is voluntary, which is intended to facilitate participation in the democratic process within the party.
