Magdeburg (dpa/sa) – The left in Saxony-Anhalt wants to elect a new dual leadership at a party conference in June. “I’m currently in talks and I’m very optimistic that we’ll manage a very good election. But I’m not going to name names yet. We want to elect the co-chairman on June 3 at a party conference,” said Linke state chairwoman Janina Böttger. Central German newspaper”.
Böttger and Stefan Gebhardt were elected the first dual leadership of the party in Saxony-Anhalt at a digital party conference in March 2022. However, Gebhardt resigned just a week after his close election (50.5 percent). In a five-page letter, the member of parliament sharply criticized the state party. He complained about rifts between the parliamentary group and the party and a failed election campaign.
Böttger now told the “Mitteldeutsche Zeitung”: “I wanted to build bridges and can say that I’ve succeeded in doing so. Of course, we’re still discussing the right strategy and the right topics, but we’ve agreed that we’ll do it internally do. And I believe that the personal attacks of the past will not happen again.”
