Quotes[edit]

  • Those who are fleeing war and violence are entitled to protection and shelter. [...] We want to govern, but not at any price. We want to create change. And to always continue seeing the people behind the policy.
    • a statement on Facebook after the fall of coalition talks, quoted by Deutsche Welle
  • What I would say to all my leftwing friends in Europe: don’t try to fake the populace. Stand for your principles. Be straight. Be pro-refugee. Be pro-European. We’re gaining momentum in the polls. And I think that’s the message we have to send to Europe. You can stop populism.
    • a statement during electoral campaign in 2017, quoted by The Guardian
