Strong welfare state: Ramelow wants more than 30 percent. The Left is confident of winning the state elections on September 1st.

The party conference spoke out in favor of the state government supporting an initiative by Bremen to examine a legally secure AfD ban procedure. The left is against a debt brake, said state chairwoman Ulrike Grosse-Röthig and federal chairwoman Martin Schirdewan. The goal must be to “dissolve the blockade in the Thuringian state parliament,” said Left parliamentary group leader Steffen Dittes.
