politics

From 1976 to 1990 Bettina Simon was a member of the SED , from 1990 to 2007 a member of the PDS and since then a member of the Die Linke party . From 1994 to 2004, Simon was city ​​councilor in Löbau, where she was chairwoman of the PDS parliamentary group until 1999.

Simon was a member of the Saxon state parliament from 1991 to 1994, and has been a member of the state parliament again since 1999. In the fourth legislative period (2004 to 2009) she was chairman of the petitions committee and a member of the budget and finance committee.

In March 2009, Simon announced that she was leaving the Left Party . The reason given for this was that the party's functionaries and board members would try to expand their decision-making powers and systematically push back the party base. She sees no point in remaining a member of a party in which "democratic-socialist positions are maintained externally, but less and less lived internally".

After the state elections in August 2009 , Simon left the state parliament in September 2009.
