BERLIN (AP) — A prominent German leftist politician has launched plans to form a new party that some observers think could take votes away from the far-right Alternative for Germany.

Sahra Wagenknecht on Monday presented her “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance — for Reason and Fairness.” The aim is to formally launch the party in January, in time for European Parliament elections in June. Three state elections in Germany’s formerly communist east will follow next fall.

    Is she against immigration? If she isn’t I doubt she’ll be getting any votes from AfD

      She is against sanctions against russia, which is plenty enough of a buzzword for a large chunk of AfD voters.
