Greens against the left: dispute over social justice and climate protection broke out

Greifswald, Deutschland - In the past few days, the argument between the Greens and the left has tightened. Franziska Brantner, the boss of the Greens, significantly raised the tone towards the left. It accuses the left of pursuing unrealistic goals and describes it as the "Fundis of the SPD". Brantner emphasizes that the left is not about the actual implementation of goals, but rather about their feasibility, which it considers questionable. The Parliamentary Managing Director of the Left, Christian Görke, immediately reacted to these allegations and clearly stated that the left focuses on its own, stable approach that focuses on social justice, tax and educational justice and the fight against rental users.

"What are the real challenges of our country?" If you ask yourself in view of the current debates. Brantner has announced that the Greens will position themselves wider, with environmental and climate protection still in the foreground. At the same time, she wants to focus on social issues such as good jobs, well -equipped daycare centers, punctual trains and affordable rents. A central component of this strategy is the inclusion of over 170,000 members of the Greens, which will better be integrated into decision -making processes in the future. In order to achieve this, organizational changes within the party are planned, which also aim to simplify the decision -making channels.

The pressure of the climatic changes

While the political debate is gaining sharpness, everyone is talking about the dramatic changes in the climate: forest fires, lack of water and heat summer are just a few of the fatal consequences that reach us. These developments require a fundamental changes in our economic and lifestyle. The left emphasizes the need to put people's needs and survival on our planet. Acute measures must be taken to counter the challenges of climate change. The left reports that the large -scale and corporations are still captured on the existing, climate -damaging economic methods.

Current scientific data prove the urgency with which we have to act: The CO2 content in the atmosphere has increased from 280 to 410 molecules per million since 1860. The Mercator Research Institute urgently warns of the catastrophic consequences of climate change and the increasing CO2 emissions since 2010, which increase by 1% annually, are just another alarm bell. In Germany, a temperature increase of 1.5 degrees has been recorded since 1881, which underlines the need for profound cuts to combat climate change. The DGB emphasizes that climate protection must be designed fairly and society as a whole.

proximity to the wishes of the population

These challenges are also reflected in the concerns of the population. Many people feel left alone by politics in recent years and the rights use this uncertainty to compete against climate protection. The increase in energy prices is not caused by measures for climate protection, but rather by the extra profiles of the energy companies during the war. The demand for an economic policy that promotes social prosperity is getting louder. Die Linke is doing it for a socially just and democratic concept that focuses on an ecological energy and heat transition as well as the social and ecological conversion of industry.

Overall, the dispute between the Greens and the left does not only seem to have ideological, but also practical consequences that extend far beyond the political stage. Climate change as a central discussion point will continue to determine the agenda and both the Greens and the left are asked to sharpen their strategies and to see the realities. It remains to be seen who presents the better plan in this heated debate.
