Extract translated:

"Will Ramelow's visit to Colonia Dignidad stimulate the debate about the memorial? At the end of his term as President of the Federal Council, Bodo Ramelow (LINKE) traveled to Chile in mid-October. The main focus of the trip of the Prime Minister of the Free State of Thuringia was the German-Chilean cooperation in the energy transition. Ramelow's visit to the Ex Colonia Dignidad, today's Villa Baviera, also caused a stir. As President of the Bundesrat, he is the highest-ranking German politician to visit this German settlement. He wants to bring some momentum into the investigation of the crimes committed there.

The focus of the trip to Chile from October 10th to 15th was on the ecological transformation and the energy transition, the export of lithium and hydrogen. Accordingly, Ramelow was accompanied by a business delegation of around 30 from Thuringia. The Chilean company RJR and the German LiVERDE AG signed a cooperation agreement on "Green Lithium for Europe from Chilean resources". It is about the extraction of lithium from the salt lake Salar de Maricunga in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile - which has been criticized by environmental initiatives - for later use in energy storage technology for electric vehicles."
