In a significant political development in Germany, an entrepreneur couple, Lotte Salingré and Thomas Stanger, have donated over five million euros to Sahra Wagenknecht's new political party, BSW.

This donation is one of the largest ever made to a political party in Germany.

The couple, who have made their fortune through MA Lighting Technology GmbH, a company specializing in event and concert technology, have publicly clarified that the funds were earned and taxed in Germany.

Despite speculation about the origins of the money, including rumors of Russian ties or connections to former East German assets, the couple firmly denied these claims.

They emphasized their support for Wagenknecht's peace-oriented policies, particularly her stance against arms deliveries to Ukraine.

The donations were made without any conditions, reflecting the couple's desire to support a political voice they believe in.
