Sahra Wagenknecht's Ambiguous Stance on AfD in Saxony-Anhalt
Following her party's successful performance in Saxony-Anhalt, BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht emphasized that this achievement was accomplished despite "a massive smear and disinformation campaign by the political and media mainstream." This likely refers to the sharp criticism of her proposal to re-engage with Russia for oil and gas purchases, and the labeling of BSW as a potential "enabler of the AfD" by other political parties. The question remains whether this criticism is justified or part of a targeted campaign.
It was important to BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht, immediately after her party's success in Saxony-Anhalt, to point out that this success came about despite "a massive smear and disinformation campaign by the political and media mainstream." By this, she presumably meant, among other things, that her demand to approach Russia to the extent that oil and gas are once again purchased from the country is sharply criticized. Or that the BSW was described by other parties as a potential "enabler of the AfD." Is this justified criticism or a campaign?
