A political earthquake shakes Brandenburg! After the state election, Janine Wissler, the mighty federal chairwoman of the left, is deeply hit. "That would be the first time that the left missed moving into an East German state parliament - and of course that is extremely bitter!" She explains during an interview with the television station Phoenix. A bang that not only affects the left itself, but also leaves the social structures in the region at stake.

The choice has sent a clear message: the left had to accept a bitter setback. In these results, Wissler sees a "turning point for us as a left". This means that the party could soon be lost in the political desert without the powerful voice for the people in the country. "How should the support for civil society structures and left -wing initiatives in Brandenburg continue to exist if we are not represented in the state parliament?" she asks provocative.

social issues in danger

It comes even thicker! Without the left, the Brandenburg state parliament will be a place where social issues such as "nationwide health care" or "affordable living space" will hardly be heard. "We will find it difficult to fight for people's concerns," said Wissler. The concerns and needs of the citizens could soon go under in the political debate, and at a time when these topics are more urgent than ever!

With a clear appeal to her followers, she concludes: "We have to stand together and fight now! The coming times will be challenging, but together we can create change." The question remains: will the left can get up from this pile of broken glass, or is there a deep case?
