Party leader Böhme: Surge in Membership Not a One-Time Fad
“Our surge in membership was not a one-time fad. The Left has come back to stay. We remain the party with the largest membership in Saxony,” explained party chairman Marco Böhme. The party intends to use this strength to fight for a social and just Saxony. “Good, secure jobs, housing without rip-offs, and a weekly grocery shopping trip that doesn’t drive you into bankruptcy—these are not too much to ask. We want to continue to demand these things loudly and collectively.”
