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.
Calling her a leftist is a huge stretch at this point. But it was never about any political positions for her. The only thing this person stands for is herself.
I mean the new party is in her name, it’s pretty transparent.
Peak narcissism.
Is she against immigration? If she isn’t I doubt she’ll be getting any votes from AfD
Did you read the article?
Yes, yes she is. More red-brown than left.
Ah yay, the red-browns notoriously always side the same way. Whatever color you add to the brown the results are always the same
red-brown
nice… even sounds like bloody diarrhea
She is against sanctions against russia, which is plenty enough of a buzzword for a large chunk of AfD voters.
I hope she takes her think-a-likes with her. But I also fear that could somehow hurt Die Linke. Like, dude. Looking at the polls. Stop. It’s already dead.
I think they lose their “Fraktionsstatus” now, which I believe is already the only thing allowing them to stay in the Bundestag.
And while some might transfer over to her party, I think we’ll just end up with two trash ones instead.
