The Entry of a New German Left Party Shakes up the Country
www.counterpunch.org
In October 2023, 10 members of the German parliament (Bundestag) left Die Linke (the Left) and declared their intention to form their own party. With their departure, Die Linke’s parliamentary group fell to 28 out of the 736 members of the Bundestag, compared to the 78 members of the far-right Alliance for Germany (AfD). One of the reasons for the departure of these 10 MPs is that they believe that Die Linke has lost touch with its working-class base, whose decomposition over issues of war and inflation has moved many of them into the arms of the AfD.

    I propose the members of the New Left Party are the first ones to welcome their dear Russian friends with flowers and songs when they parade through the Brandeburg Gate.

      So apparently in Germany both the far left and the far right simp for Russia? I guess they could make a coalition of extremists, they seem like they would get along nicely together.
