The left chairman Janine Wissler reacted with astonishment to the conditions for a left alliance formulated by Green leader Robert Habeck after the federal election.
She referred in particular to Habeck's remarks on the subject of NATO.
Habeck had called for the left to commit to NATO in the newspapers of the Funke media group.
According to Funke, Wissler replied: “I am pleased that Robert Habeck is signaling openness to a center-left alliance.
The conditions he formulated for this are strange. ”A commitment to NATO would, in her words, mean accepting the two percent target,“ many billions that should be better spent on social justice, education and climate protection than on tanks and bombs ".
What is meant is the NATO goal of spending two percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) on the military.
Wissler recalled that the Greens had been founded as a peace party.
But NATO is a "war alliance".

Habeck had demanded concessions from the Left Party for a possible coalition after the Bundestag election: "We will conduct an independent election campaign for our goals and not engage in exclusivity," said the Green leader.
The Left Party must "prove to a special degree that it is capable of governing and ready to take responsibility for this country".
He was not only concerned with NATO, but also with "that the industrial core of this republic is not destroyed".
In the end, the sovereign decides which government options are there, said Habeck.
"And the one in which you can implement most of the necessary projects has the greatest chance of being realized."
