The end of Wagenknecht and the BSW restart


The Sahra Wagenknecht alliance is facing change. Sahra Wagenknecht is probably withdrawing from the front row; Amira Mohamed Ali and Fabio De Masi will lead the party in the future.

In the 200-second interview, Robert Crumbach, Deputy Prime Minister of Brandenburg, talks about trust and party discipline.
