Afghanistan.
January 28th Bundestag voted for the continuation of German participation in the war in Afghanistan for another year.
vast majority, including the SPD, was the continuation of war action. Green largely abstained. Faction Linke was the only categorically voice as before, against continuing the war. January 27 Gregor Gysi promulgated specific requirements Linke: immediately and without conditions for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, helping rebuild the country, support self-governance by the Afghans. Gysi said that the really important things such as democracy and women's rights, must not be abused to to justify a war that kills thousands of lives annually and - as is already evident to all participants, does not lead to any positive result.
Statement Linke party leadership about the situation in Egypt, Tunisia and the wider Middle East.
Linke unconditionally privestvuet movement of peoples, such as Egypt, Tunisia and against the authoritarian and undemocratic structures and wished the success of these democratic movements. These protests - hope for many people worldwide.
The German Government must act to Egypt with a view to violence against the demonstrators no longer applies. You can not put pressure on the people by the police ...
the EU and Germany for many years supported its policy of non-democratic regimes in the Arab States. Government Germany has allowed in 2009 to export arms to 77.5 million euros dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak.
between North African states and the EU carried intensive cooperation. For example, the European border agency Frontex, helping the security forces of the North African countries will not allow refugees from sub-Saharan Africa move to Europe.
Germany and the West sees the Arab dictatorships allies in the so-called fight against terrorism and guarantee access to oil wealth REGON. Times authoritarian governments of Tunisia and Egypt can serve as a bulwark against Islamism - can be closed eye on the prisoners and opposition press censorship.
Linke requires an end to these double standards in the Arab States. Democracy and human rights should not be subordinated to the interests of German economy. First of all, this also applies to our demand for an immediate re-opening ways to telecommunications for people.
Too long ignored the EU's social and political situation in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen. Meanwhile, the social situation in these countries was that the need for protest has long been apparent.
