The German Left Party “Die Linke” through their parliamentary spokesman on Foreign Affairs, Wolfgang Gehrcke, supports that Greece has every right to claim the war reparations bill from Germany. Thus, the German Parliamentary Spokesman of Die Linke, with his recent statement broke the ice between SYRIZA and his party.
Mr. Wolfgang Gehrcke in an interview he gave at the Greek newspaper To Vima, stated that his party and SYRIZA have a lot in common and nothing to separate. He continued by saying that SYRIZA and his party are on good terms again as the German Left party supports Greece ’s claim for World War II reparations against Germany. The relations between the two parties have been put on ice due to a former statement of Die Linke’s co-president Bernd Riexinger who appeared to be against Greece’s claims. However, Mr Gehrcke said that the statements of Riexinger were wrongly interpreted.
“Our party decided unanimously that Greece has every right to claim the war reparations bill from Germany as the country suffered a great deal of damage during World War II. Our party will never stop to support this claim of Greece’s State in Bundestag” underlined Mr. Wolfgang Gehrcke.
