yes, but they are "politically non-aligned", too.

I think it is a matter of: does a political party run a CryptoParty or do
people who happen to be members of a party organize a Cryptoparty in a
location which happens to be a workplace of a political party organize a
CryptoParty?


The line is very subjective, but I would encourage everybody who comes
across blatant advertizing (as the case of the green party Hauke came
across suggests) to seek dialog with the party or company (and maybe add a
local mailing list CC). Often they are not aware of CryptoParty's Guiding
Principles (http://www.cryptoparty.in/guiding_principles) and will change
their claims.


Many greetings, such regard,

Malte
