Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) – The parliamentary group leader of the Hessian Left, Elisabeth Kula, has regretted the state of her party in view of internal party disputes. “I don’t need a left like that either. Nobody needs a left like that,” she said in a summer interview with Hessischer Rundfunk. People no longer know what the left actually stands for. “We no longer have time to deal with ourselves. We have to go out to the people now.” In recent years, the gap between rich and poor has widened. It is the job of her party to denounce these abuses.
Despite the recent poor election results and poll numbers, the politician was confident about the state elections next year. “Traditionally, it was always tight in Hesse, but we always showed it to everyone.” She is convinced that the left is needed now more than ever. In the state elections in 2018, the left improved its result in Hesse and achieved a share of the vote of 6.3 percent.
