Germany’s new left-wing populist party starts with a demonstration against engagement in Ukraine
Almost two years after the start of the war, several thousand people want to demonstrate this Saturday in Berlin against the war in Ukraine and against the arms supplies to Ukraine. The best-known speaker at the Brandenburg Gate is the former left-wing politicianSahra Wagenknecht, former member of the far-left party Link and exit to create the BSW, the Sahra Wagennecht alliance a party 10,000 participants are registered with the police.
Promoters condemn the Russian attack on Ukraine and at the same time NATO . They are calling for a ceasefire and negotiations with Russia. The motto of the event is: "No to wars – stop the madness of armaments – shape the future in a peaceful and just way".
Together with women's rights activist Alice Schwarzer, Wagenknecht had already spoken at a large demonstration in front of the Brandenburg Gate in February and had previously published a "peace manifesto". He recently announced the founding of his own party and therefore his abandonment of the Left Party. The party should be born next year from the association “Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht – for reason and justice”.
The call for today's demonstration is supported by left-wing politicians, trade unionists and some artists. The expected participation of 10 thousand people is not huge, but not completely negligible either and indicates a certain vitality of his movement. Obviously a left-wing anti-interventionist party is putting Chancellor Scholz's SPD in great difficulty which, instead, is supporting Ukraine in an apparently decisive way.
If the BSW were to present itself in the next elections, the date of which is uncertain, due to the Semaforo government's latest problems on the budget law, it would risk entering parliament with an indicative number of seats:
The votes would be taken mainly from the SPD, rather than from the AfD, and would show that 31% of the German voting body is pro-Russian and against intervention in Ukraine. Above all they would show a left that is opposed to the mainstream dictated by the US Dems which could be very uncomfortable. Another sign of the decline of Washington's political hold on the world.
