GERMANY’S current coalition is “the worst post-war government we’ve had” and is fanning the flames of the Ukraine war rather than seeking to end it, a Die Linke MP told the Morning Star at the Unsere Zeit Press Festival in Berlin at the weekend.
Sevim Dagdelen, a Bundestag member for North Rhine-Westphalia, said ditching Berlin’s longstanding ban on sending weapons into war zones would have dangerous long-term consequences.
And she slammed Western politicians egging Kiev to fight Russia “to the last Ukrainian” while not lifting a finger to seek a negotiated peace.
