Parties - Wagenknecht: Traffic light policy is reminiscent of the "last days of the GDR"

Founder Sahra Wagenknecht feels, in her own words, that she is reminded of the last days of the GDR (German Democratic Republic) currently. The Federal Government is making "completely irrational decisions" disregarding the population, Wagenknecht stated at a state party conference of her party Alliance 'Sahra Wagenknecht' in Potsdam on Saturday. "I don't want to equate it completely," Wagenknecht added. But the reality of people's lives has no connection to "what politicians are telling us". She once again criticized the Federal Government as the "worst government of the Federal Republic in a long, long time". It's a "damned lie" when the traffic light coalition connects the situation in the country with the crises in the world, the former Left Party politician opined. "Germany is the last one in this world full of crises," she remarked.

At the same time, she also attacked the Union as the "worst opposition". She criticized, among other things, statements from the CDU about supplying Ukraine with extensive weapons.
