Holpriger Start: The left has chosen a new leadership at its party congress in Potsdam and is more radical in content.
Son of Calabrian immigrants, Pantisano elected 53%. Attacks Merz ('Think only to the rich') but doesn't convince
During the election campaign, the forty-seven-year-old spoke often of his childhood as the son of a 'spaghetti eater'. In the country where he grew up, in Waiblingen, he organized campaigns in the 2000s entitled “Bunt statt braun” (“Colored instead of brown”, the color of the Nazis), defends migrants, refugees and is actively committed to helping the poor.
Luigi Pantisano and Ines Schwerdtner will lead the Left Party in the future. While Schwerdtner was clearly confirmed in office, Pantisano received only 53 percent of the votes.
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.
