Wagenknecht's Party Faces Election Struggles

Published: 2025-02-21

Sahra Wagenknecht's newly formed party, BSW, faces a critical moment in Germany's upcoming Bundestag elections.

Once seen as a rising force, the party now struggles to secure the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament, with recent polls placing it at just 3-4%.

This marks a sharp decline from its earlier successes in regional elections and the EU vote.

Wagenknecht, known for her controversial stances on migration and foreign policy, remains optimistic, urging voters to support her vision of a "free society.

" However, with many voters still undecided and major parties like the CDU and SPD also losing ground, the election outcome remains uncertain.

The political landscape in Germany appears deeply fragmented, reflecting widespread voter dissatisfaction.
