	[No title]
		Lothar Bisky said in an interview that the party could pose a challenge to Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's Social Democrats in this part of Germany as tensions increase between east and west over the direction of economic reform.
		Bisky, a pragmatist who was catapulted into power in October to rescue a party that managed to win only two seats in the Bundestag, is determined to reverse the trend.
		The West Germans, as Bisky admits, also dislike the weekly “Monday demonstrations” organized by the PDS to protest Schröder's reforms because West Germans are feeling the brunt as well.

	The PDS - Germany's Ex-Communists at a Crossroads - by Christoph Nesshoever - April 20, 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Bisky had already announced at the beginning of the Münster convention that he will resign as party chairman later this year.
		Both had hinted in the past that they were growing tired of the permanent infighting within the party and the "lack of solidarity" by their comrades towards their leadership.
		Despite all of the infighting, it was Gysi (by his popularity) and Bisky (as the skillful mediator) who held the PDS together and who gradually fostered political pragmatism instead of basic ideological criticism of capitalism itself.

		Bisky paints idyllic images and utopian scenes of (mostly male) youth engaged in athletic games, tests of skill or endurance against a background of optimistic colors that mimic sunshine- dappled open skies.
		Born in East Germany, the son of a prominent Socialist politician, Lothar, Norbert Bisky's childhood was spent under the Socialist regime of the GDR.
		Bisky sees this singularity of vision as a precursor to those incorporated by current ad campaigns that lull a stupefied public into believing that a life is directly measured simply by what a person is able to buy.

	Plan Calls for former Communists To Embrace (Some) Capitalism \| Germany \| Deutsche Welle \| 26.08.2003
		For Bisky, the post was abit of deja vu, since he led the party for much of the 1990s.
		With his platform, Bisky is seeking to embrace the same ideals that most modern political parties hold sacred: separation of powers, a constitutional state and the acceptance of freedom of speech and opinion.
		Bisky could still be confronted with leadership defections from the party that would force him to water down his plan, making it less attractive to reform-minded socialists and more mainstream voters.

		Lothar Bisky, party chief of the new Left Party, failed to get elected even after three successive tries.
		That's also a nice word for mobbed, which might have happened to Bisky, who has come under fire for what his critics say was all-too-close relations with the Staatssicherheitsdienst, or Stasi, the interior intelligence service of the former communist regime.
		Bisky, however, has said he would be ready to have his Stasi file re-examined.

		On three occasions the chairman of the Left Party, Lothar Bisky, put himself forward for the post of one of the deputies of the parliamentary speaker and on every occasion he was voted down by the deputies.
		The “no” vote was directed, he said, against “the person Lothar Bisky,” whose role in the former Stalinist East Germany (GDR) remained murky, with rumors circulating that he had worked for the GDR state security service (Stasi).
		Bisky has officiated for a number of years as a deputy parliamentary president for the Potsdam state assembly with the support of the Brandenburg governing parties—the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and CDU.

		The name of Mr Lothar Bisky emerged from secret Stasi files, codenamed Rosenholz, that were in the possession of the CIA for the last 12 years until they were handed over to the German government earlier this month.
		Mr Bisky worked under the codenames "Bienert" and "Klaus Heine" for 16 years and was praised by officials as a "trustworthy, ready-for-action comrade".
		Mr Bisky had been suspected in recent years of working as an "unofficial worker" (IM) for the Stasi, but there was until now no proof.

	German Fifth Column
		The first important Stasi agent exposed by Rosenholz was Lothar Bisky (code-name 'Bienert'), a founder and current leader of the Party of Democratic Socialism, the Communist Party established after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
		Bisky grew up in West Germany, but went over to the Communist East when he was 18, providing information about West German military installations soon after his arrival.
		For reliability, the Stasi classified him as an 'A'-level worker, the highest category, the classifications running from 'A' to 'D.' In his defense, Bisky and his supporters are blaming the messenger, claiming the Rosenholz data can't be trusted, since the CIA once possessed them.

		Bisky says his party's appeal can move west: "I want a socialist party in the Federal Republic of Germany." If opposition to Schröder continues to grow, Bisky's wish just may come true.

	Weekly Worker 331 Thursday April 13 2000
		When Gregor Gysi, the charismatic leader of the German Party of Democratic Socialism, stepped down from his post last weekend, the bourgeois press was quick to declare this "the biggest crisis of the PDS in its entire existence" (Daily Telegraph April 10).
		Together with Lothar Bisky, the PDS's second in command, Gysi was responding to the clear defeat they suffered at the party's national congress in Münster on April 9-10.
		Gysi and Bisky have been working hard to transform the former 'official communist' party of East Germany into a mainstream party "fit for politics".

	Germany: Defeat for "reformers" at PDS conference in Gera
		The party’s eighth national conference, held October 12-13 in the East German city of Gera, was dominated by heated struggles between opposing wings of the party—with the so-called “traditionalist” wing led by party chairman, Gabi Zimmer, emerging as clear winner.
		Since having taken up the post of party chair two years ago following the resignation of Lothar Bisky, Zimmer has neither said nor done anything which could be interpreted as marking a course opposed to that pursued by her current rivals inside the party.
		At the PDS conference in Münster in 2000, she was a defender of the party executive when it attempted to change the party’s position on the issue of war, and suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of delegates.

		Gregor Gysi, 52, the leader of the PDS' parliamentary party, as well as Lothar Bisky, the party chairman, announced after a defeat of a minor reform project at this years party congress, that they will step down in Autumn.

	Germany's ex-communists give blessing to capitalism
		The Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), successor to the political force that led communist East Germany for four decades, approved the new program by an overwhelming majority of 77.8 percent at a party congress in the eastern city of Chemnitz, formerly known as Karl Marx City.
		Bisky said the PDS would nevertheless remain a socialist and anti-war party and would fight to reclaim lost ground in elections next year in the eastern states of Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg.
		Once a mighty champion of east German concerns, the PDS has suffered from weak leadership and virtually non-existent support in the west of the country and has now virtually disappeared from the national political stage.
