The leaders of the Saxon Left Party believe the time has come for new ideas and fresh minds in their party. "We were the leaders of the crisis," said Susanne Schaper at a press conference in Dresden, referring to the coronavirus pandemic, the start of the war in Ukraine and the split of the BSW from the Left Party.
"It has been six years of hard work," said Co-Chair Stephan Hartmann. The fact that we can talk about good election and poll results today was not a given. Now is a good time to hand over the chairmanship with peace of mind, said Schaper.
