Sahra Wagenknecht has founded the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, which weaves together right-wing nationalism and left-wing socialism, reflecting a new volatility in German politics.
Her party has surged in popularity, polling between 15% and 20% in former East Germany, and up to 9% nationally, challenging the dominance of traditional parties.
Wagenknecht's appeal stems not only from her leftist roots but also from adopting stances similar to those of the far-right AfD, like reducing migration.
The emergence of Wagenknecht's party illustrates the fragmentation of the political landscape in Germany, as mainstream parties struggle to maintain support.
