With 70.3 percent of the votes, the left in Bavaria chose their state spokeswoman Adelheid Rupp as the top candidate for the state elections in autumn. “We want to make Bavaria more social and climate-friendly. We are the party that will put our finger on the wound in the state parliament,” announced Rupp at the state party conference in Erding, according to the announcement. In addition, the party decided its election program. According to the information, the key issues are: more affordable housing, higher wages, more staff for schools and daycare centers, educational and climate justice and the expansion of buses and trains. In view of the current collective bargaining, the party emphasized that it stands with the unions. Rupp, 64, and a lawyer from Tuntenhausen near Rosenheim, said her party was needed in Bavaria because there were also major social differences in this country: “Poverty in old age is at a record high. A third of all women in Bavaria are poor. There is no party in the country Bavarian state parliament, which represents the interests of women. We want to change that.”
