Luigi Pantisano is the new boss of the party The Left. He said: The CDU party makes fascist policy. He says: The CDU is like the AfD party. This statement made many people angry.
Politicians from CDU and CSU are very angry. They say: Pantisano insults all good people. He makes the bad acts of real fascists look small. They want him to leave his job now.
Pantisano says sorry now. He says his words were wrong. He says: I spoke too fast. He still criticizes the right path of the CDU.
Carsten Linnemann from the CDU does not accept the apology. He thinks the explanation is cheeky. Some people in the Left party also criticize Pantisano. Politicians from East Germany worry about this.
In the East, The Left and the CDU work together sometimes. In Thuringia, The Left helps the CDU government. Such bad words hurt their work before the elections.
