The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is facing a turning point. At the weekend, the party leadership is meeting in Berlin for a retreat – and it’s about everything: content, minds and the future of Sahra Wagenknecht herself. Does she really want to withdraw? And who could follow her – Fabio De Masi, Oliver Runert or Katja Wolf?
Rasmus Buchsteiner analyzes with Rixa Fürsen whether the BSW can get off to a political start again after a difficult year – and what is behind the idea of turning the “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance” into an “Alliance for Security and Prosperity” in the future.
