Gysi's selection as speaker is more than just an age-based tradition, it's a tactical maneuver by the Bundestag to counterbalance the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party's influence. Keep in mind that Gysi has been a heavy-hitter in German politics for decades, surviving and thriving through various stages of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), transition, and his current role as a forces-to-be-reckoned-with member of Die Linke (Left Party).
His landmark speech will touch upon critical issues like poverty, environmental sustainability, German reunification, and international relations. The address will deliver a powerful message for a more inclusive democracy and challenge the arms industry, sparking passionate debates among parliamentarians. Gysi's speech will help shape the upcoming legislative period's agenda, focusing on equality, diversity, and addressing the absence of certain parties and the reduced number of female representatives in the Bundestag. He will also bring attention to international concerns, expressing concern over Donald Trump's actions and stressing the importance of Russia in European security structures.
