In the name sure. In the party even are some left leaning politicians. But the body of it and our Bundeskanzler, are more centrist than left. The upholding of the status quo is more important for them than improving social situations and tackling leftist points like wealth inequality, so I personally wouldn't call them left leaning
It was just an example, I wasn't claiming that it is an exclusive talking point for the left. But then you still would probably agree that an party which ignores such problems isn't really leftist, nor liberal.
