The new co-chair of the party “Die Linke”, Janine Wissler, calls in the Corona crisis to consider a temporary closure of industrial companies.
"I think that if the numbers keep going up, then you have to talk about the fact that production that is not urgently needed has to be shut down for a few days in order to break the chains of infection," said the 39-year-old in an interview with the week of Deutschlandfunk.
There is currently an imbalance because the corona restrictions mainly apply in the private sector.
The world of work must finally be included in the fight against the pandemic, said the chairman of the left-wing parliamentary group in the Hesse state parliament.
Many people continue to drive to open-plan offices, call centers or production halls every day, the buses and trains are full.
However, the corona infections did not end at the company gate.
There is an urgent need for employers to offer employees free corona tests.
Wissler rejects criticism of her long-term membership in the Trotskyist network Marx 21, which ended in autumn.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the group as a left-wing extremist for years.
You could not take seriously the judgment of an authority that until recently was headed by the "right-wing conspiracy ideologist" Hans-Georg Maaßen.

Marx 21 states that the goal is to fight for socialization through “council democracy from below”.
The question of socialization is a very important question, said Wissler, specifically in the area of infrastructure and public services such as health care or property ownership by large corporations.
Too often, important social issues are decided in corporations.
