What Die Linke Should Do
Bernd Riexinger
The March 13 regional election results were a bitter setback for Die Linke and everyone fighting for social justice and democracy in Germany. The results of the parliamentary elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg, and Rhineland-Palatinate signify a major shift in the political landscape.
For years now, studies have identified a potential voting base for parties of the far right ranging from 15 to 20 per cent of the electorate.

Dear PAOV,
What do you picture when you see a "certified humane" label on chicken meat?
I'm guessing you don't picture birds who grow so unnaturally quickly that their hearts, lungs and bones can't keep up. You probably don't picture vast windowless warehouses crammed with up to 15 birds per square metre, birds who will never see the...
