Antisemitismus-Vorwürfe gegen Die Linke: Schwerdtner bezieht Stellung | Markus Lanz vom 18.03.2026

A resolution passed by the Lower Saxony branch of the Left Party last weekend has triggered strong reactions nationwide – including within the party itself. On Wednesday evening, co-chair of the Left Party, Ines Schwerdtner, addressed the accusations against her party on Markus Lanz's talk show. She stated that she believes the resolution in Lower Saxony completely fails to reflect the highly complex situation in the Middle East and was therefore entirely one-sided and wrong, as it benefits neither the people of Palestine nor those of Israel.
