- Singer supports Saxony's left in state election
Saxony's Left can rely on powerful support in the election campaign. Singer-songwriter Konstantin Wecker speaks out for top candidate Susanne Schaper. "We live again in times where we really need to be careful: More and more countries, cities, municipalities, and regions in Europe are governed by fascists and racists. And more and more conservatives are aligning with right-wing parties for their own power retention," Wecker said in a statement. "Each and every one of us and we all together must now engage to keep democracy alive." For this, we need courageous people - also in parliaments.
Wecker praises Schaper for her commitment. "As a trained nurse, she fights for a solidarity-based healthcare system for all people, supports the hospice movement, international solidarity, social justice for all people, and is actively against fascism." He will not stop dreaming of a "dominance-free world without war and fascism, of a borderless world without patriarchy, racism, oppression, and exploitation of humans and nature."
Krumbiegel: "Vote democratically, people - that's what it's about."
"Prinzen" singer Sebastian Krumbiegel supports the candidacy of Juliane Nagel (Left) in his hometown of Leipzig. He knows her well and appreciates her. "Even though I was socially democratized, it would be a great loss for all of us if she missed the renewed entry into the Saxon parliament. Vote democratically, people - that's what it's about."
An initial inquiry with other parties did not result in support from prominent artists.
In her fight for various causes, Susanne Schaper, the Left's top candidate in Saxony, has gained the support of renowned singer-songwriter Konstantin Wecker from Dresden. Wecker, who is critical of the rising fascism and conservatism in Europe, admires Schaper's stance against fascism and her advocacy for a solidarity-based healthcare system.
