Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) feels reminded of the end of the GDR by the traffic light coalition’s policy. The opposition also does not come off well with the former Left.
Party founder Sahra Wagenknecht says she is currently reminded of the last days of the GDR. The federal government is making “completely crazy decisions” without considering the people, Wagenknecht said on Saturday at a state party conference of her party Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht in Potsdam.
“I think the older ones among us, and I’m one of them to some extent, can perhaps still remember the end of the GDR. And I have to say, it’s really a feeling that somehow comes back to you.”
She did not want to “completely equate the two,” Wagenknecht added. But the reality of people’s lives has no connection with “what politicians say.” She again called the federal government the “worst government in the Federal Republic for a very, very long time.”
It is a “damned lie” when the traffic light coalition links the situation in the country with the crises in the world. “Germany is at the bottom of the list in this world full of crises,” said the former Left Party politician.
At the same time, she also attacked the Union as the “worst opposition”. Among other things, she criticized statements from the CDU about supplying more weapons to Ukraine.
