The parliamentary group of the German left wing party Die Linke has submitted a motion in the german parliement on fundamentally changing the economic model of Germany. In the motion they adress that this model is in deep crisis and needs to be rebuilt into a sustainable economy which stops exploiting humans and nature.
In the motion they call for a variety of measures and draft legislations, amongst which are calling for increased democracy at the workplace and democratization of central economic sectors like energy, transportation, provision of public services, education and housing. One point to highlight is their call to:
“To promote measures that enable and facilitate democratic economic planning. To this end, works councils should be granted a binding right of co-determination on economic matters. Economic and transformation councils should be established to bring us closer to the goal of an economy oriented toward the common good, ecological, and democratic economy”
