Heidi Reichinnek: She makes passionate speech a Tikok star

The left is experiencing a small upward trend, the recent surveys see the party above the five percent hurdle and thus in the Bundestag. This is also due to Heidi Reichinnek, who, together with Jan van Aken, forms the top candidate duo for the Bundestag election, and her passionate appearance in the Bundestag.

During the debate about the Union’s application for asylum policy, which was finally adopted with the votes of the AfD, the left-wing politician Knallhart calculated with Friedrich Merz and his colleagues. “Your suggestions will not change anything for the security situation in the country-except for migrants: inside,” she accused the CDU boss and called: “We are all the fire wall.” Even if Merz didn’t really listen and left the plenary hall – Reichinnek finds a lot of listeners on social media.

Her speech has become a success of the tictok, and she was watched on the video app more than six million times. The 36-year-old, who is known for her rapid speech, also doubled her follower number on Instagram, according to research into the “Meedia” media service. At least 29 million times have been looked at across all networks.

Reichinnek has been represented on Tiktok since 2021: “Because it was important to me to reach people in this way because I would like to speak to the people at eye level,” she said im star-Interview. At that time, the video app in political circles was still largely unknown-just like Reichinnek itself. In the meantime, the left there is the most present party next to the AfD and, above all, reaches young people. Videos like that of your Bundestag speech are “definitely a component of our campaign and party strategy,” says Reichinnek.

The left can use young faces anyway. So far – also in the current Bundestag election campaign – the party is very dependent on the self -proclaimed “silver bells” Dietmar Bartsch, Gregor Gysi and Bodo Ramelow.

The Merseburg woman has been in the Bundestag since 2021. Under her posts, she gets a lot of approval for her appearance (“strongest speech until this year”), but also criticism. The fire wall debate brings the left back to the political conversation after there had already been a symptoms of dissolution in the party after Sahra Wagenknecht’s leaving and a number of other members of the parliament. After the left had lost its parliamentary group status in the Bundestag, Reichinnek had taken over the chair of the group of members.

“I go to information stands, front doors, on podiums, but also on social media because I want to speak to people at eye level. I would like to explain why it is important to get involved politically and how what happens in the Bundestag , has an impact on your life. The TikTok and Instagram fame brings her and your party the urgently needed upswing so shortly before the Bundestag election. It will be shown whether this will last until the election evening.
