Berlin (dpa) - The former left chairman Bernd Riexinger has criticized the latest book by the former parliamentary group leader Sahra Wagenknecht.
"If you run for a party, then it has to be a matter of course that you represent the basic positions of this party and strengthen them," said Riexinger to the editorial network Germany (RND / Saturday).
That is not given in the book.
Wagenknecht will run for the weekend in North Rhine-Westphalia as a candidate for first place on the state list, in order to be elected to the Bundestag in the election on September 26th.
Passages published ahead of time from her book, which is due to appear next Wednesday, have already attracted criticism from several left-wing politicians, including from the federal executive board.
Wagenknecht denigrated movements such as Indivisible, Black Lives Matter or Fridays for Future as “self-righteous”, accused her of the Bavarian left-wing politician Johannes König in “Spiegel”.
According to the report, several party executive members of the left called on Wagenknecht to renounce a Bundestag candidacy.
The left-wing politician sees the premature publication as a targeted maneuver against the Bundestag candidacy she is aiming for.
"To convey a completely distorted picture of the content of my book with out of context, partly falsified quotes in order to prevent my reassembly, is not good dealings with each other," Wagenknecht informed the German Press Agency on Friday.
