Sahra Wagenknecht, who has long opposed arms supplies to Ukraine and favored appeasement of Russia, announced today that she is leaving the Left Party and forming her own “Sahra Wagenknecht Union – For Reason and Justice.” Nine other MPs from the Left also announced that they would join a new party.
The publication’s columnists say the new political force is gaining popularity, and polls show it could win a significant number of votes in the Bundestag elections.
“The Kremlin is still riding two rails in Germany: on the right with the AfG (Alternative for Germany – a far-right political party) and Wagenknecht will take care of the rest,” the journalist writes.
