Sarah instead of Angels!
In politics, Sarah feels confident. Her political experience is rather big. Still "at the dawn of a foggy youth", living in the GDR, she joined the Union of Free German Youth. Later, in March 1989, she became a member of the SED, with the radical goal of "updating the system from the inside."
Soon the SED was transformed into the Party of Democratic Socialism. In 1991, Sarah was elected to the National VCP Committee from the Communist Platform. Some Western analysts today consider this platform a gathering of radicals eager for power.
In 1999, Sarah Wagenknecht was elected representative of the VCP in the European Parliament.
A few years later, the PDS merged with the Labor and Social Justice - Electoral Alternative Party; this is how the Left Party (2007) appeared. In the 2009 federal election year, Sarah defeated North Rhine-Westphalia in the land and became the LPG representative for economic policy. In 2010, she was elected vice-chairman of the LPG in 2011, the first vice-chairman.
"Radical" Sara is called in Germany because she does not tire of criticizing the capitalist system, reaching even the attacks on the party in whose activities she participates. Sarah is known for supporting the Latin American leftist governments.
As for Ukraine and the Ukrainian crisis in general, then the position of Comrade Wagenknecht is clear and unambiguous: "... in the Kiev government ... key posts are occupied by the Nazis." This phrase even got into "Wikipedia".
A deputy says very unpleasant things about President Poroshenko - for example, that he is fighting against his own people.
Also from open sources it is known that Sarah studied philosophy and literature at Jena and Berlin universities, but graduated from the University of Groningen. In 2005, she began work on her thesis “The Limit of Freedom of Choice. Savings and basic needs in developed countries ", which she defended only in 2012, received a scientific degree of doctor of natural sciences. In the same year, she began to work in the editorial office of the newspaper Neues Deutschland. So Sarah is no stranger to journalism.
In the statements made by Sarah over the past few months, there is a clear tendency to controversy with the powers that be. In particular, the point of criticism of Comrade Wagenknecht more than once pounded Frau Merkel, who was sacredly obsessed with American interests in Germany.
We traced the main statements of Sarah Wagenknecht from last summer to January of the current year.
In August 2014, Sarah details said Olga, world public opinion on NATO policy and Western sanctions against Russia. According to her, President Poroshenko made a bid for a military solution, which led to the outbreak of war "against his own people."
As for the sanctions imposed by the West against Russia because of the Ukrainian crisis, the deputy chairman of the Left Party of Germany said that prohibitive measures, as well as trade wars, “do not lead to anything good. In her opinion, the “spiral of conflict” is only unwinding, and as a result “the German economy and the entire European economy as a whole are suffering”. Sanctions hinder the peaceful resolution of the conflict. According to Sarah, the policy of prohibitions is "just a mistaken and meaningless policy." Conflicts cannot be solved “by sanctions; sanctions only make it difficult to find a way out. ”
Sarah Wagenknecht also said in August that her party had come out with a proposal to hold talks in which "all parties, including the militia" would participate. Such negotiations would allow “to preserve Ukraine as a state at the expense of its decentralization or federalization”.
Returning to NATO, Sarah said: “From the very beginning of the current conflict, NATO has made every effort to escalate it. Rasmussen’s latest statements are of great concern: it seems that in the process of escalation, not only measures of economic influence can be used, but also something worse. These are very dark prospects, and I would like Germany to more firmly and unequivocally declare her disagreement with such a course. ”
At the end of November 2014, Sarah Wagenknecht criticized the policy of German Chancellor Angela Merkel towards Russia. Moreover, the deputy head of the left-wing faction directly accused the Chancellor of pursuing a policy of American interests, which Merkel puts above the interests of his native people.
"Mrs. Merkel, there is something that seems more important to you than the interests of German business: the interests of the American government and the American business," - said S. Wagenknecht. She added: “In your speech in Sydney, Mrs. Merkel, you were terribly outraged by the fact that after 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, old thinking continues to exist in categories of“ spheres of influence ”that wipe its feet on international law. Here you ask yourself: Mrs. Merkel, where do you live? ”
Then, an angry deputy developed her thought: “And where have you lived for the last 25 years, where have you been, when the US trampled international law in Iraq to expand its sphere of influence on Iraqi oil? Where were you when bombed Libya? When armed Syrian opposition, including LIH? Was it in accordance with international law? ”
And then Sarah raised the topic of the new cold war. And Sarah announced to Angela Merkel, the mother of this war - apparently, she had very little resemblance to an angel.
“You drove Germany into a reissue of the Cold War with Russia, unleashed a senseless economic war that damages primarily the German and European economy,” said the deputy. - In Ukraine, you cooperate with a regime in which the functions of the police and security services are performed by reliably witnessed Nazis. Instead of contacting these scumbags, we need a foreign policy, for which security and peace in Europe will be more important than instructions from Washington. Go back to the path of diplomacy, lift the sanctions. Finish this game with fire! ”
Thus, S. Wagenknecht harshly criticized both the policies of Angela Merkel and her economic failures resulting from the imposition of sanctions against Russia. The last action has harmed not only the Russian economy, but also the German one. And this really confirms Sarah’s conclusion that Angela Merkel puts the interests of the American government above the interests of the German people. After all, sanctions against Russia are a purely American idea; Europe took these measures forcedly, under pressure from overseas bosses.
In January, 2015, Sarah seriously criticized the strikes of American UAVs in Afghanistan and other countries.
Deputy Chairman of the Left Party Bundestag Faction compared missile strikes of American unmanned aerial vehicles in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen with recent terrorist attacks in Paris: “If a drone controlled by the West kills an innocent Arab or Afghan family, then this is an ugly crime like the terrorist attacks in Paris, and it should fill us with the same confusion and the same horror. "
The deputy added: "The war being waged by the United States, including with the participation of Germany, through UAVs, has already led to the death of thousands of innocent people and causes a feeling of powerlessness, anger and hatred in the affected countries." And thus, “the ground is being prepared for terror, which, as is officially stated, they intend to fight in the West.”
Five days later, Sarah commented on Poland’s refusal to invite V.V. Putin to Auschwitz.
An open letter from German public organizations appeared in the newspaper “Junge Welt”, who were outraged by the refusal of Poland to invite the President of Russia to the commemorative ceremony on the occasion of the 70 anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army.
"It is outrageous that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not officially invited to commemorative events on the occasion of the 70 anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz - regardless of whether there is a practice of inviting leaders, - it is said in a statement by the "Communist Platform", a member of the Left faction in the Bundestag. - Seventy years after the feat of the Soviet Union, which brought unheard of sacrifices to defeat fascism, hatred of the Russians grew to a monstrous extent. It is inconceivable not to invite to commemoration events the representatives of the country whose army brought freedom to the survivors in this death camp. It's treacherous historical revisionism".
Along with many German public figures, Sarah Wagenknecht also subscribed to this statement.
Researcher at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies Pavel Gusterin in the newspaper «Tribune» He called Sarah the likely "locomotive of German politics."
We subscribe to these words. Give Sarah instead of Angels!
