More wages, inflation money, a new solidarity pact – the left is suddenly demanding a lot for East Germany. She’s concerned with frustration with democracy, danger from the right – and her own low in the polls.
The Left Party states: “The systematic neglect of the East has fatal consequences.” That’s what it says in the draft for an action plan for the East, which the Federal Executive Board intends to adopt on Saturday in Berlin. First of all, the consequences mentioned are fatal for the left itself. For a long time now, it has only been a former people’s party of the East.
