Direction for the election is set by the political left

In a significant move, The Left State Party has declared its readiness to take on the mantle of social justice, climate protection, and a strong democracy in Baden-Württemberg. This assertion was made by party spokesman Elwis Capece at a conference held in Karlsruhe over the weekend, which was attended by 220 delegates.

The conference marked a surge in membership for The Left State Party, whose numbers have been on the rise in the state recently. The party has also made it clear that it does not support the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and will not give them any space in its efforts to make a difference.

Elwis Capece, in his speech, strongly criticised armament and militarization, voicing The Left's stance against such practices. Sahra Mirow, a Bundestag member and state spokeswoman for The Left, joined in the criticism, lamenting the ineffectiveness of the new federal and state governments in limiting high rents and prices.

In response, The Left has proposed a social policy with a focus on affordable housing as a solution. The party aims to "turn Baden-Württemberg to the left" and is striving to be represented in the state parliament in 2026.

However, the leadership of The Left State Party in Karlsruhe remains unclear, as the search results do not provide a clear identification of the party's leader, and there is no available information about her position in the new federal parliament. Despite this, the party's commitment to its cause remains undeterred, and it continues to garner support from those seeking change in Baden-Württemberg.
