The left in Kassel discussed their plans for social change. A woman’s contribution in particular causes confusion: she speaks of the rich people being shot. Party leader Riexinger initially distances himself only half-heartedly.

AAt its “strategy conference” in Kassel, the party Die Linke wanted to discuss how it could “successfully intervene” on fundamental social issues. To this end, party leader Bernd Riexinger and other representatives of the party met with members on February 29 and March 1. When a panel discussion entitled “Change the country: for a socio-ecological change of system” deals with climate protection, a woman in the front row takes the floor. At the end of her longer lecture, it is important to emphasize one thing. The energy transition is also “necessary after a revolution”.
Then she says: “And even if we shot one percent of the rich, it is still the case that we want to heat up, we want to move.” Her words provoke laughter and applause, there is a brief unrest and a murmur. The lady remains tough: “Well, that’s the way it is!” When she wants to speak about photovoltaics, her contribution is ended from the stage. It is addressed to Sandra, whether and what office she has is unclear.
