At the party convention of the Left Alliance in Bonn, Amira Mohamed Ali, the chair of the Basic Social Welfare (BSW), levelled severe accusations against “large parts of the media”.
Addressing the delegates on Sunday, she said that she did not want to let herself be unsettled by “one or the other media report of the past weeks”. “Of course, they are trying to write us off now, because we genuinely pose a threat to the political mainstream” she stated.
Ali further accused that “large parts of the media” do not report objectively but rather engage in a de facto electoral campaign in favour of the Union, SPD, FDP, and the Greens. “If one takes a closer look at who is being reported on, one can see that they clearly prefer a strong AfD over a strong BSW, because the AfD does not really change politics, we do” she added.
