(ag) The second Sunday is for many on the left an important first date of each year. On this day, instead of the traditional commemoration of the murdered socialists Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht. About 40,000 people attended last Sunday, the memorial in Berlin / Friedrichsfelde. Here, next to the names of donors annual demonstration, other socialists, such as Erich Weinert and Louise are buried Zietz.
Throughout the day, visited links from a wide spectrum of the cemetery and laid red carnations at the memorial plaques to commemorate the murder of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg to 92 years. But also to show that, after nearly a century has passed, the desire for a socialist society is still relevant, perhaps more relevant than ever.
Thus the traditional demonstration was called by the Left Party, stood with the motto "against the rule of capital" and was about 10,000 participants reported an increase in visitors.
The distributed pamphlets and newspapers showed the broad spectrum of groups represented at the demonstration. Of moderate-socialist positions taken to hard-liners communists was content to see everything at the rally.
's largely peaceful and friendly handling of the demonstrators among themselves, that many have already realized that represent common goals, justice and social equality, and work together. For if prevail even within our movement insurmountable hostilities, we can not stand the attacks from outside the long run. The Rosa Luxembourg had 1899 in their publication "Social Reform or Revolution" is detected. That the enemy is not within its own ranks is, but in your own country is no observation of our day, but a statement of Karl Liebknecht. It is thus clear that their ideas not only of great importance for us, but still have a surprising relevance.
For some this was only the first part of the left start to the year.
followed on Monday then that is the official start to the year of the party Die Linke. In the Berlin Congress Center, the invited guests were attuned with speeches and a cultural program with seven state elections this yet so important political year 2011.
said First Party leader Gesine Lötzsch, the young world of their comments to communism in a - articles for a period weeks has caused a lot of attention. In her speech she said once their statements and stressed that democratic socialism, as it is written in the draft to the party program, the declared objective of the link. They also criticized the media hate campaign of the bourgeois press, especially the mirror, trying to suppress completely false allegations by a debate communism. For Lötzsch is the LEFT at the moment the only democratic party in Germany.
second speaker was group chairman, Gregor Gysi. He spoke to the importance of state elections this year that could have major thrust for the positions of the Left. But we should understand the elections as an opportunity to the policy in the Federal Republic at last move forward to a fairer and more social way. He
the policy of the parties represented in parliament criticized sharply. The FDP would have their own anti-social policies "unnecessary" made by the Greens have more human and less expected. The hardest was the criticism from the SPD, which describes itself as "left", but reject any cooperation with the Left Party, indeed rather a pact with the Union.
the cultural program designed the band "Sebastian Lohse & The High Society" that would fit well with critical texts on the mood of the event.
The top seven candidates for the parliamentary elections had recently the opportunity to present themselves and their positions. The Prime Minister candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, Wulf jelly, stressed that it was important to care for children and expand every child equal access to education.
the conclusion of the political year starts with a speech by the party chairman Klaus Ernst. He claimed that grave internal struggles can be overcome within the Left , since we only united the challenges can be grown this year. He also encouraged the hope that this year finally be able to adopt a party platform that the high demands of the party members will meet.
Then there was the New Year's reception at the Bundestag, the mood in solution time for discussion and personal acquaintance, and the "political elite" was.
Overall, the Left presented on these days in combative mood. The big TeilnehmeInnenrzuwachs at the Luxembourg-Liebknecht demonstration shows, as the great interest in the political start to the year that more and more people in this Country no longer want to adapt to circumstances, are dissatisfied with the ruling of the unfair and anti-social policies and are willing, for a better society, both in parliamentary election campaigns, but also outside the Parliament, demonstrations and other events to fight.
