Gregor Gysi – Auf eine Currywurst mit Gregor Gysi

In the organizer's words:

Gregor Gysi - more open and personal than ever before!

Gregor Gysi, legend of the Left Party, is now regarded as a kind of alternative elder statesman. Journalist Hans-Dieter Schütt has been accompanying book events with the politician for years. The conversations that form the basis of the new book began on these trips: Short interviews on the road, at the snack stand - conversations in which Gysi is in his element: quick-witted, knowledgeable, free to discuss topics of all kinds. The struggle for peace or soccer, seasons or citizens' income, vacations or utopias, a thirst for adventure or civil disobedience: a colorful liaison of chit-chat and political program.

Gysi on tour through life - how it is, how it should be and therefore how it should be changed. The event will be hosted by journalist and author Hans-Dieter Schütt.
