Christine Buchholz

[1][2] A progressive activist, Bucholz is a member of Marx21, a network of trotskyists within Die Linke broadly aligned with the International Socialist Tendency.

From 1991 to 1998, Buchholz studied education and social sciences with a focus on politics and religion at the University of Hamburg.

From 2002 she worked as a freelance editor and from 2005 to 2009 as a research assistant to a member of the left parliamentary group Linksfraktion.

Buchholz proposed in early 2013 that politicians of the other two (former) opposition parties SPD and Greens should seek political compromises.

With a view to the federal election in 2013 (and apparently on the subject of a red-red-green coalition), she said that there is no substantive basis for a government participation because of the support of foreign operations of the Bundeswehr and the approval of Angela Merkel's EU austerity.
