Sahra Wagenknecht, leader of the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), has firmly opposed the stationing of US intermediate-range missiles in Germany, setting it as a non-negotiable condition for any coalition participation.

This stance has significant implications for upcoming state elections in Eastern Germany, where BSW is gaining traction.

Wagenknecht's position challenges both the SPD and CDU, with the latter's leader in Brandenburg, Jan Redmann, not ruling out potential collaboration despite differences.

The BSW also categorically refuses any cooperation with the AfD, emphasizing a clear ideological divide.

As the elections approach, Wagenknecht's bold strategy could reshape political alliances and voter dynamics in the region.
