The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) says its membership in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has tripled this yr. It has risen from fewer than 200 at first of the yr to 601 now, stated co-state chairman Peter Langer.

Next yr, the BSW desires to participate within the state elections and put ahead direct candidates in all constituencies, stated Langer. These are to be decided at meeting conferences in January. In March, the listing and a choice on the election program might be drawn up at a state get together convention. “The development is going on very intensively in the various committees.”

The essential political content material of the BSW is financial purpose, social justice and democratic participation. In the federal election in February, the BSW narrowly didn’t go the 5 p.c hurdle. The nationwide affiliation Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has been round since December 2024.
