DescriptionLeft-wing association turned party formed by allies of Sahra Wagenknecht, a former leader of Die Linke from October 12, 2015 to November 12, 2019, after her split from Die Linke in October 2023. Association plans to formalize itself as a party in January 2024. Wagenknecht's sympathies for the former German Democratic Republic, and her unrepentant praise of Josef Stalin, brought her into conflict with many Die Linke colleagues and co-leaders, including Gregor Gysi, whom she derisively belittled as "left-liberals" ("Linksliberale"). The last straw which spurred her departure appeared to have come when 50 Die Linke members in October demanded in an open letter her exclusion from the party. Wagenknecht's faction holds sympathies for the Russian Federation and objects to support of Ukraine in its war with the Russian Federation. Party is expected to be "Left-nationalistic' and adhere to the political theories of Karl Liebknecht, considered the "mastermind of Socialism" in the former East Germany. Association is chaired by the former co-chairman of Die Linke and Bundestag member Amira Mohamed Ali [Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht); and as BSW – Für Vernunft und Gerechtigkeit; BSW – For Reason and Justice].
