New German Left-Wing Party against Foreign Workers

The new German Left-Wing Party, probably called Democratic Left-Wing PDS, tries not only the get frustrated voters from the Socialdemocrats, but also want to find supporters in the radical right-wing. At a rally on Tuesday one of their leaders Lafontaine said: "It is the state's duty to make sure, that women and fathers with families don't become unemployed, because foreign workers take their jobs for low wages."

This statement caused quit an uproar, accusing Lafontaine of using nazi-slang. But notice, just today the conservative party CDU started a campaign against immigration. I guess they don't want to leave the campaigning against foreigners to some lefties.
