„Es ist kein Rückzug, sondern eine Umverteilung von Arbeit, damit ich mich auf das konzentrieren kann, was für das BSW viel wichtiger ist“, versichert Wagenknecht

Overview

  • Sahra Wagenknecht confirmed she will not seek re‑election as BSW chair at the upcoming Magdeburg party congress.
  • The party says Amira Mohamed Ali and EU lawmaker Fabio De Masi are set to head the reconstituted leadership.
  • Wagenknecht plans to chair a new Grundwertekommission to drive strategy and programmatic work for the party.
  • She intensified her media push with a fresh talkshow appearance and a long podcast interview in which she alleged ARD and ZDF narrow debate and claimed she was informally barred from shows after stating she was unvaccinated.
  • The interview drew criticism from the host and listeners, and party strains deepened as four members of the Brandenburg BSW faction quit citing growing pressure and authoritarian tendencies.
