The Civil Party GL is a voter community with headquarters in Bergisch Gladbach . It was founded in 2013. In the municipal elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2014 , she ran for the first time in the municipal elections in Bergisch Gladbach and in the district elections in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis .

In 2014 she won a seat on the Bergisch Gladbach city ​​council with 818 votes or 1.70% of the valid votes . In the district elections, with 1,097 votes, or 0.86% of the votes, she did not make it into the district council. In the simultaneous elections for the integration council of the city of Bergisch Gladbach, members of the citizens' party GL received three out of twelve seats. During the 2014 election campaign, the rapper Xzit recorded a rap song entitled What is going wrong in my city? on. The GL Citizens 'Party was represented with 1 out of 9 seats in the Senior Citizens' Advisory Board from 2015 to 2020. Since the 2020 elections for the Seniors 'Advisory Board, the GL Citizens' Party has been represented with 2 out of 9 seats. Also in the 2020 local election campaign, the GL civil party is the subject of a rap song that takes a critical look at the electorate.

The chairman of the board, co-founder and former treasurer Frank Samirae was active both with the left and with the pirates before his time with the civil party . He had sat in on the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . With the pirates he had tried to found a local association in Bergisch Gladbach by means of an invented identity "Martina Hartmann".

Political activity

In the run-up to the 2014 local elections, the party named one person as the party's top candidate who was not available.

After moving into the city council of Bergisch Gladbach, the council member of the GL Citizens' Party, Frank Samirae, sent around 180 inquiries bundled in around 50 individual letters to the administration in the first meeting. This resulted in costs for the city of around € 3,200.

While the GL Citizens' Party originally categorically excluded a parliamentary group with the party “Die Linke”, a parliamentary group with the Left was later formed in the city council under the name “Die Linke mit Bürgerpartei GL”.

In February 2017 it became known that the parliamentary group “Die Linke mit Bürgerpartei GL” generates by far the highest expenditure per parliamentary group member for the city. Per council member and knowledgeable citizen of the parliamentary group, attendance fees, travel expenses and loss of earnings amount to € 4,670 per year. For the other parliamentary groups, this results in a maximum of € 1,205 per year and member. In the event of loss of earnings, the difference is € 3,247 per year and member compared to a maximum of € 171 for the other groups. For 2019, the city announced that the three members of the parliamentary group had applied for and received € 20,696 per person for the period December 2018 to November 2019.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic , it became known that party chairman Frank Samirae was selling disinfectants at high prices on the eBay platform . This led to controversial discussions.

At the end of July 2020, the mayoral candidate of the GL Citizens 'Party was initially not approved by the electoral committee for the 2020 local elections because a vote had not taken place in secret, although he had given an affidavit , but was still allowed by the district election committee after a complaint by the GL Citizens' Party in mid-August 2020.

In August 2020 it became known that the basic program had been adopted verbatim by an electoral association from Kleve. Its chairman denies that permission was obtained for this.
