Substantive debate instead of personal quarrels: Before the party congress, Gregor Gysi calls on the left to unite. But the party peace is under serious threat.
Berlin – The quarrels are over: After months of bickering about personnel issues, the call for more unity on the left is getting louder. Shortly before the Party Congress 2022 Gregor Gysi warned of the need for cohesion. “The denunciation must stop,” said the former parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag kreiszeitung.de from IPPEN.MEDIA. The party must again “concentrate on a few key areas of content”.
Party Congress 2022: The left elects a new chairman – Gregor Gysi calls for unity
The party will have the opportunity to set the course for this next weekend in Erfurt, when the members meet for the 2022 party conference. The left not only wants to elect a new federal manager and a new party chairmanship, but also to work up internal quarrels. However, the latter is likely to be more difficult than the elections. So the hoped-for party peace threatens to vanish into thin air ever since Sahra Wagenknecht and about 50 other delegates rebel against the announced course towards Russia.
There are definitely no easy tasks waiting for the new federal presidency of the left. While Susanne Hennig-Wellsow, annoyed, resigned as chairwoman last April, the party leader who is still in office resigned Janine Wissler up for election again. The co-chairman of the left in the EU Parliament, Martin Schirdewan, and the Lower Saxony state chairwoman Heidi Reichinnek are also among the candidates.
Left Party Congress 2022: Several candidates for the election to the presidency – Gregor Gysi demands clear communication
In conversation with kreiszeitung.de Left veteran Gregor Gysi did not want to comment on specific personnel issues. However, anyone who could put an end to the party’s many trench warfare would be someone who exudes “authority,” said Gysi in a recent interview with the party Editorial network Germany.
When it comes to how to get the left back on track, the politician expresses himself more clearly: “The party must make it clear what majority opinions we have,” said Gysi kreiszeitung.de to the question of how to become more attractive to voters in the future.
