It wasn't the sort of thing that was going to expose divisions within the party.
And it was a very simple message to take to the doorstep.
Yeah, so De Linka as a party of the far left is riven with division, as parties of this sort always are.
We saw this last year when the party came quite close to kind of ripping itself apart over Israel and Gaza.
And to simplify a little bit, some of the party's newer, younger members who, like in similar parties elsewhere in Europe, are incredibly exercised by this issue.
And
Last year at the party congress, you actually had a number of senior figures of the party quit in protest.
They thought that some of the motions that were emerging from some of the younger branches basically were coming quite close to anti-Semitism.
They've put together a motion for this year's Congress that they think is kind of big and capacious enough to please everybody.
I spoke to Catherine Gable, who's a D-Linker MP, who sits on the party.
party's board, and she says that the party's younger members have been important in redefining the party's focus through their protests.
Yes, I mean I think they're gonna be pretty active about bringing people onto the streets.
I think looking ahead, Fridic Mance's government is embarking on a program of domestic reforms, which means cuts to welfare programs, cuts to healthcare provision.
We're probably gonna have a very bitter row on pensions coming in the next few weeks.
And this is basically grist to the mill of Delinka.
They're gonna fight back against the stuff very
hard.
They've already brought thousands onto the streets for some protests and they promised that there will be lots more in the summer ahead.
One of the tricky things for the party is to what extent basically they want to be a party of political power, either in coalition governments in Germany states or supporting governments, versus a kind of protest movement that spends a lot of time on the streets and has a political wing.
It's not going to be possible for the party to avoid this.
