Stand: 23.10.2024 6:39 pm

crisis mood at the Left Party in Berlin! After lost elections and internal conflicts about dealing with anti -Semitism, several high -ranking members from the party come out. Klaus Lederer, Carsten Schatz, Sebastian Schlüsselburg, Sebastian Scheel and Elke Breitenbach declared their retreat on Wednesday - a huge blow to the left party, which is in a deep identity crisis!

The five politicians publish a tough explanation on X.com, in which they are out of the increasingly difficult conditions for their influence in the national association. Especially with central topics such as anti -Semitism and the support of Ukraine, it was hardly possible to represent a clear position. They denounce the stagnant discussion and no longer see themselves able to appear constructive in the party.

Group Chair regret

The parliamentary group leader Anne Helm and Tobias Schulze are visibly affected and praise the merit of the resigned. "These five personalities have campaigned for our city in a variety of ways," they emphasize in a public statement. Already at the state party conference on October 11th there was a turbulent dispute over an anti-Semitism application that ended in a scandal and prompted numerous members to leave the meeting. The pressure on the Left Party is growing to deal with the internal party division!

In the explanation of the renegade, the questionable discussion culture is also mentioned, which you find as personalized and ineffective. Despite a resolution against anti -Semitism, there is ancient over the avoidance of open conflicts and the persistence of incompatible positions. The Left Party encounters the challenge of finding itself while at the same time struggling with the continuous decline in her support.
