Jutta Ditfurth

Jutta Gerta Armgard von Ditfurth (born 29 September 1951) is a German sociologist, writer, and radical ecologist politician.

Ditfurth has been politically active within the New Left since the early 1970s, joining internationalist and feminist groups, as well as participating in the nascent Green and anti-nuclear movement.

In December 1988 the national convention ("Bundesdelegiertenkonferenz") of the party voted with 214 to 186 delegates to end Ditfurths leadership.

[2][3][4] As a candidate on an international list of the Greek Left-wing party New Left Current during the 1999 European elections, she ran a campaign critical of the military German and NATO involvement in the Kosovo War, but did not win enough votes to win a seat in the European Parliament.

In 2000, she co-founded the minor German party Ecological Left, of which she remains a member and on whose ticket[clarification needed] she won a seat in the city parliament of Frankfurt in 2001 and 2011.
