Gregor Gysi prefers to celebrate his 75th birthday with personal friends than with Sahra Wagenknecht

A great leftist turns 75: Gregor Gysi will soon be celebrating his birthday. There will also be a private party. His party colleague Sahra Wagenknecht is apparently not that high on the guest list.

Gregor Gysi celebrates his 75th birthday on January 16th. To thestar probably the most popular politician on the left now reveals his personal fitness program: “Swimming, cycling, and table tennis from time to time. And I hike. My driver taught me that.” He “learned one thing in good time,” Gysi continued. “After a certain age you have to take care of yourself.” For his milestone birthday there will be a larger celebration of his parliamentary group – and a private party.

When asked whether his opponent within the party, Sahra Wagenknecht, was also invited, Gysi said that “rather personal friends” were on his guest list. Wagenknecht and he have “a historical responsibility to save this party”. Gysi left it open whether he would stand again in the upcoming federal elections in autumn 2025. He would then be 77 years old. However, he would be tempted by the position of Bundestag senior president, which the longest-serving member of parliament is entitled to. Gysi: “It would be a certain satisfaction. I haven’t forgotten how I was greeted when I joined in 1990: from negative to hostile.”
