Berlin left: Withdrawals lead to political crisis and reorientation
What a dramatic turn for the Berlin left! A party that was once celebrated for their clear positioning and pragmatism is now on the edge of the implosive self -destruction. Always more violent conflicts about one's own identity and dealing with scandalous anti -Semitism on Berlin's streets and in the universities lead to the now inevitable breakage of the party.
The resignation of the charismatic ex-culture senator Klaus Lederer, accompanied by four other prominent members, beat the waves. These exits are the shock that the rest of the left simply cannot cope! With the departure of political sizes like Petra Pau and Gesine Lötzsch - what remains for the formerly strong ruling party?
The struggle for the future
had been bubbling behind the scenes for a long time: was it better to stay radical and to combine a wide variety of left -wing groups on the streets or to act a little more pragmatic and more compromise? While the majority had chosen the pragmatic approaches, the reality now shows that this course was not satisfactory for everyone. The decay is there and the direction is uncertain!
- Klaus Lederer leaves the stage - an outcry by the party!
- The voices of the radical wing become louder - where does that lead?
- The insight that a gap is created without the veterans such as Pau and Lötzsch is painfully clear.
The left wing, which once worked entirely on the political power of creating, now mutates deeper into the riot opposition. The dream of a majority on the left of the CDU crumbles. What remains is a chaotic accumulation of system critics who may be able to start with protest sounds, but no longer have serious political power.
an appeal to the need for unity
Will the left really go into history as an example of failed political unity? The wounds are fresh and the questions are numerous: how can it go on? Is there still hope for a fresh start or is the path of the radical opposition the only way out?
Berlin's left movement, once a symbol of hope and progress, faces the challenge of reinventing yourself. It remains to be seen whether the remaining pragmatists will find a way to survive the numerous processes and the tense environment and to form a new, strong unit!
