The Left advocates, among other things, a minimum wage of 13 euros (currently 9.50 euros), a nationwide rent cap, a minimum pension of 1200 euros, more vacation and public holidays and long-term free public transport. In addition, the party advocates stronger taxation of companies, high incomes and assets and calls for a crisis tax from a net asset of two million euros to cope with the consequences of the corona.
In climate policy, the left is committed to the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees and to climate neutrality by 2035, i.e. that a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and their reduction has been achieved by then – “as the only party”, as it was recognized by the climate movement Fridays for Future.
