That is why Wagenknecht took the new elections badly

Sahra Wagenknecht, the president of the Sahra Wagenknecht Association (BSW), complained that her party is facing difficulties due to the early parliamentary elections. There is a lack of money, a lack of programs and a lack of members within the party, wrote a Young freedom.

“Now we have to campaign very hard to get donations,” he explained in Berlin.

“Large amounts of money are needed to stand our ground in this election campaign,” he added. In addition, the party does not even have a program for the Bundestag elections. BSW cannot develop its program as long as it had planned.

“Now everything has to happen in a very short time,” complained Wagenknecht.

In addition, the party should recruit new members in the upcoming election campaign. The BSW does not even have its own regional organization in every federal state. In addition, the coalition negotiations currently underway in Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia also commit additional resources to the party.

It was Wagenknecht who most vehemently called for new elections in public. Last Tuesday, he demanded the dissolution of the “traffic light coalition” and that citizens be called to the polls as soon as possible.

However, the government coalition led by Scholz delayed the dissolution, there were discussions about the date of the election, and the date of February 23 is the first serious consensuswhich developed among political actors.

BSW without direct candidate

The BSW was also of the position that the prime minister should have already called a vote of confidence last Monday, which would have meant new elections in January. Now, however, even the election date a month later presents great difficulties for the left-wing party. It is not yet clear whether BSW will be able to start in all federal states.

In the provincial elections, he did not field a direct candidate at all in Brandenburg, in Thuringia for the most part, and in Saxony in almost every other constituency.

The most recent national on surveys the Sahra Wagenknecht Association (BSW) recently dropped to five percent (Forsa), six percent (Forschungsgruppe Wahlen) and seven percent (Insa).
