Sahra Wagenknecht's new political party, the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), is gaining traction in Germany, with polls showing it could secure 8 to 20 percent of the vote in upcoming elections.

Despite having only 840 members and no official program, the party's popularity is attributed to Wagenknecht's strong public presence and her ability to tap into public discontent with the current government.

The BSW's platform includes calls for a higher minimum wage and public ownership of hospitals, resonating with voters seeking alternatives to mainstream parties.

However, internal contradictions exist, particularly regarding immigration policies, where Wagenknecht's views diverge from those of her party members.

As dissatisfaction with the ruling coalition grows, the BSW may capitalize on this unrest, positioning itself as a viable opposition force in the political landscape.
