Die Linke in Germany becomes another European Leftist party that takes some form of power, after SYRIZA's win in euro elections and taking Greece's largest periphery, Attica, in the latest local elections for municipalities and prefectures.
The
European neoliberal economic empire is expected to launch now a war
against this "threat" inside its jurisdiction.
Angela
Merkel already feels the "threat" as a spokesman for her
CDU party in Thuringia said the coalition could threaten everything
that had been achieved there in the past 25 years.
From
BBC:
“Leftist
parties in Germany have agreed a historic coalition deal which will
see the first far-left regional president since the fall of
communism.”
“Bodo
Ramelow of the socialist Die Linke (Left party) is set to become
state premier of Thuringia next month. Die Linke, rooted in the old
East German state Communist party, has never led a state government.
But all three coalition parties said they saw East Germany as a state
that did not operate within the rule of law. What is now Thuringia
was part of East Germany during the Cold War but is at the heart of
the reunified country.”
“Meanwhile
Chancellor Angela Merkel finds that her centre-right party is being
undermined by the new anti-euro Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD).
Now the rest of the country will be watching closely to see if
Thuringia can deliver such left-wing policies affordably.”
“The
Thuringia deal comes barely a week after celebrations marking the
25th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall and has angered senior
German figures, including President Joachim Gauck, a former dissident
pastor in communist East Germany.”
“In an
indication of the party's socialist heritage, Bodo Ramelow delivered
campaign speeches ahead of the Thuringia election in September
alongside a red bust of Karl Marx.”
“Angela
Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats, who rule at national level
in coalition with the SPD, are expected to form the opposition in
Thuringia. Germany's chancellor also grew up in East Germany. A
spokesman for her CDU party in Thuringia said the coalition could
threaten everything that had been achieved there in the past 25
years. However, Die Linke believe the coalition could send a
signal to other states in Germany ahead of the next federal elections
in 2017.”
