Wagenknecht Vows to Stay Active as BSW Moves to Remove Her Name

The December rebrand follows a temporary naming strategy intended to build recognition.

Overview

  • Wagenknecht states she will continue working for the party, calling BSW her “heart project.”
  • She describes the founder-branded name as a transitional device that helped establish the party.
  • In Saxony, state chair Sabine Zimmermann is foregoing another run for the post.
  • The party is represented in the governments of Thuringia and Brandenburg after narrowly missing Bundestag entry in February.
