The crisis party congress of the left is over, but promptly there are cross shots from prominent quarters again. The new co-chairman invokes the unifying.
The new co-chairman of the left, Martin Schirdewan, has called on his party to support the decisions of the Erfurt party congress.
“I wish that we would all represent the positions found together at the party conference to the outside world,” said Schirdewan on Deutschlandfunk on Monday when asked about the criticism of the former parliamentary group leader Sahra Wagenknecht. “After this party congress, there is little hope that the left can stop its decline,” Wagenknecht told the German Press Agency on Sunday at the end of the party convention.
Schirdewan was elected the new co-chair of the party at the Erfurt party conference at the weekend with 61.3 percent. The previous co-boss Janine Wissler was confirmed in office with 57.5 percent. Schirdewan spoke of a “strong signal of trust” with regard to his own result in view of opposing candidates. The party congress represents the base of the party. “It is therefore good if such decisions are also respected by everyone, and we now together implement this signal of departure that the party congress has set in good politics.”
The member of the Bundestag Sören Pellmann was defeated in the fight vote for the presidency and then indicated that he wanted to think about staying in parliament. Schirdewan said: “Internal party small things after the party congress interest me very little.” He wanted the party to be recognizable in public again with its own socio-political profile. “This is the job we all face. Sören Pellmann is also in front of him, I am in front of him, and I know that we will work on these questions together.”
