Wagenknecht before founding the party: “Enormous anger, enormous despair”

DAY24 Wagenknecht before founding the party: “Enormous anger, enormous despair” Article by Malte Kurtz • 1 H. Berlin - In an interview with "Welt" today, Tuesday, Sahra Wagenknecht (54) explained that the left's poor election results in Bavaria and Hesse were not solely her fault and that a "new political force" was finally needed in the country. Sahra Wagenknecht (54, Left) wants to make a “political offer” for serious change to voters in Germany with her new party. If there is a debate within a party about founding a new party, then "that doesn't help," said the Left Party MP. With 3.1 percent in Hesse and 1.5 percent in Bavaria, the Left missed out on entering the state parliament in both cases. For Wagenknecht, this downward trend already began in the last federal election.

At the same time, Wagenknecht made the traffic light government partly responsible for the mood in the country: "We have enormous anger and also enormous despair on the part of people here in Germany in view of the bad politics that the traffic light is making." Wagenknecht spoke of the “strong desire” of many people for change. There isn't yet a party that could do that: "Many people simply don't know what to vote for anymore." With her new party, she wants to make a “political offer” to citizens so that they can “vote with a clear conscience,” said Wagenknecht. However, she only wants to officially leave the Left once the preparations for founding her party have been completed. Ultimately, Wagenknecht made it clear which topics she wanted to put on the agenda of her new party: “A serious policy for economic reason, for social justice, for peace and freedom of expression against 'cancel culture'.”
