Germany’s Left Party sets its course for government and NATO
The Left Party is participating in the September 26 federal elections with its parliamentary group leader Dietmar Bartsch and party leader Janine Wissler as lead candidates. This was announced by party co-chair Susanne Hennig-Wellsow at a press conference on Monday. The party’s executive committee had “expressed confidence in two strong candidates with almost 87 percent” support, she explained. The two embodied “our claim to break out, to change this country. A progressive majority to the left of the Union [Christian Democrats, CDU/CSU] is possible.”
