In the fall, the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance would like to take part in the state elections in the east. The new party is now laying the foundation for this and setting up its first regional association.
The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance founded its first regional association on Saturday, in Saxony. Wagenknecht confirmed this when asked. The founding party conference takes place in Chemnitz.
“The desire for change is particularly strong in the East,” said Wagenknecht. “People are struggling with high energy and food prices, real wage losses and pensions that are too low and there are no solutions coming from the traffic lights, only new impositions.”
By founding the Saxon state association, the BSW is setting the course for the start of the Saxon state elections on September 1st, added Wagenknecht. “The establishment of the state associations in Thuringia and Brandenburg will follow next.” According to a party spokeswoman, the founding dates for Thuringia and Brandenburg have not yet been determined.
According to a spokeswoman, the Saxony founding party conference on Saturday will take place behind closed doors in Chemnitz with co-federal chairwoman Amira Mohamed Ali. There will be a press conference afterwards. The Saxony regional association is starting with 60 members.
