The 46-year-old vice-chairman of the left-wing parliamentary group has been elected co-chairman of the party. Who is this man?
The left has a new party leader. Ines Schwerdtner was re-elected. Luigi Pantisano follows Jan van Aken with a meager result. Before his election, he had caused excitement with a statement about the CDU.
Ines Schwerdtner was confirmed with almost 86 percent in office. The result for the new Left-Chairman was weak – but Jan van Aken's successor is now regulated.
With a "pulled" quote about the CDU, the new left-wing leader Luigi Pantisano denounces numerous delegates at the Left Party Congress. He is elected, but with a bad result. Ines Schwerdtner, on the other hand, has broad support.
The possible next left-wing leader Pantisano compares the CDU with the AfD. In the party the irritation triggers.
The outgoing left-wing leader van Aken sees a voter potential of 20 percent of the votes for his party. Claims for a wealth tax, a rent cap or the pension from 65 have broad support among the population, van Aken said in his farewell speech at the party congress in Potsdam.
