Content profile

The profile of the parliamentary left is basically based on the SPD's program that existed until the 1990s. She represents Keynesian approaches in economic and social policy . The largely supply policy reforms of Agenda 2010 were critically assessed by her, even though no official calls for the repeal of central reform measures such as labor market reforms were made, but rather clear corrections were called for. In the area of ​​tax policy, among other things, she calls for a higher inheritance tax and the reintroduction of wealth tax . Based on the Keynesian attitude, she rejected a strict limitation of the national debt and also the introduction of a so-called debt brake .
