Sahra Wagenknecht argues that leftist parties have strayed from serving the working class, advocating less immigration and rejecting support for Ukraine amidst Russia's invasion.
The BSW's electoral performance, achieving significant vote shares in Saxony and Thuringia, highlights a growing alignment with right-wing populism, despite its leftist origins.
Wagenknecht's departure from Die Linke centered on allegations that the party has become detached from core working-class issues and overly committed to environmentalism.
Critics of Wagenknecht liken her positions to far-right sentiments, questioning whether her populist economic advocacy might overshadow traditional leftist values.
