The refugee and climate activist Carola Rackete wants to hand in her mandate for the left in the European Parliament. “My candidacy and my mandate had the goal from the start to contribute to the renewal of the party – a process that is successful,” she said, according to a message. “As a person from social movements, my team and I discussed from the start to make the mandate collective.” This is now done by submitting your mandate. Her successor should be Martin Günther from Brandenburg.

Carola Rackete became known as a sea rescuer

In June 2024, Rackete moved into the European Parliament as a non -independent top candidate in Saxony. The Saxon left-wing chairman Anja Eichhorn praised racket’s commitment to social justice, climate protection and the rights of refugees. “Carola is firmly rooted in the social movements and has always preserved this connection during her mandate,” emphasized co-chair Marco Böhme.

The climate activist Racketet became internationally known in 2019 when she started the island of Lampedusa, despite a ban on the Italian authorities by ship “Sea Watch 3” and refugees rescued from distress on board.
