And, of course, The Left, which still counts large numbers of former Stasi personnel among its members, also calls for a reassessment of East Germany itself; many party veterans object to the term “dictatorship” for this phase of their lives.

当然，仍然以大批前史塔西（Stasi）人员为骨干的左翼还要求重新确定对东德的评价，许多老党员反对用“独裁”一词来形容他们生命中的这个阶段。因此，除自由民主党之外，主流政党三心二意地处理全球经济危机也为这个党派带来了好处。
