In a draft of its election manifesto, the Left Party has shown that it is willing to compromise with regard to the Bundeswehr missions abroad. Instead of a clear ‘No’ to foreign missions, it is now said that the Left “wants” to end such missions. At the point of a wealth tax, the party now wants a gradual increase instead of a 5 percent rate for assets from 1 million Euros. Left party leader Hennig-Wellsow said politics had to find a common denominator.
