DIE LINKE

Without any effort Gesine Lötzsch repeats her list of demands of DIE LINKE, the LEFT. “Our program? One hundred percent social!” Minimum pension, minimum wage, abolish Hartz IV. “Lichtenberg is indeed not an island,” says Lötzsch. She doesn’t even try to go into Lichtenberg’s specifics. At the end however she talks about the most important thing here, the zoo, the Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde. It is suffering from a lack of visitors. Somebody shouts that one should redirect the coaches from the Stasi Memorial. Lötzsch says, from time to time she would give away a couple of season tickets. This is good. Lötzsch and DIE LINKE made 47% in the last federal election of the German Bundestag. Here in Lichtenberg. Lichtenberg is not an island. Lötzsch was born here in 1961. In 1984 she became a member of the SED. In 2010, she was elected president of the federal party together with Klaus Ernst. In the same year it was revealed that her husband Ronald Lötzsch, was an informer for the Stasi. Codename “Heinz.” Lötzsch stepped down as the party’s president in 2012 because here husband got ill.
While Lötzsch talks here on the island, Sahra Wagenknecht makes nice photos as Frida Kahlo:

And when Wagenknecht talks it sounds more like that:
“It would undoubtedly be possible to preserve the euro without destroying the welfare state and democracy in the countries of the south. However, the prerequisite for this would be the implementation of central demands of the Left Party: it would require a reduction in the debts of the crisis-hit countries, an end to the imposition of cuts, and the launch of substantial investment programmes instead. Domestic demand would need to be drastically boosted in countries such as Germany, and this would require significant wage increases. A minimum wage of ten euros would need to be introduced…”
