Clear Venstre orClear Left (Danish:Rene Venstre), also known asBergske Venstre orBergske Left was a political group from 1884 to 1897. It was one of two groups splitting fromVenstre of the Folketing [da] in 1884, the other beingModerate Venstre.
Clear Venstre was founded byChristen Berg in 1884, afterVenstre of the Folketing [da] split into two groups, with Berg leading one group andViggo Hørup leading the other. Clear Venstre opposed the government ofJacob Estrup. Among politicians joining Berg's group were Theodor Leth,Jens Christian Christensen, Ingvard Jensen, Kristen Jensen-Try and Peter Jensen-Stengaarden. The group would later attempt to cooperate with the Moderate Left, with the cooperation called "the Danish Left" (Danish:Det Danske Venstre)[1][2][3][4]
Berg remained the leader of the group until his death in 1891, after which Jens Christian Christensen took over the leadership. Even after the group joined the Venstre Reform Party, it wasn't officially dissolved and Christensen remained the front figure of the group.[1][5]
