Political positions

She replied, "I also think that democracy does not solve the problems of the people." In a later demand on the website Abgeordnetenwatch.de to this statement, it stated in part: "This has its origins precisely in the clear democratic deficit on which I pointed out in the broadcast and which, among other things, could be dealt with with referendums and referendums, also at the federal level. [...] Whether bourgeois democracy is really the ultimate or the vision of a democratic socialism could become a reality is a question that will probably only be answered in the future. "
