Germany's upstart leftists chip at pro-Ukraine consensus

The new leftist populist party, Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), is reshaping Germany’s political landscape by pressing mainstream parties for concessions in Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony. Led by NATO-skeptic Sahra Wagenknecht, BSW opposes arming Ukraine, a position shared only with the far-right AfD. This controversial stance has sparked debate, especially following a joint statement with Chancellor Scholz’s Social Democrats, declaring that "The war will not end with further arms deliveries.” As coalition negotiations unfold, this tension could influence Germany’s stance on Ukraine and destabilize Scholz’s coalition in Berlin.
