Sahra Wagenknecht, founder of the BSW party, criticizes the handling of the AfD and advocates for a more pragmatic approach. The CDU rejects direct cooperation with the AfD, but has accepted AfD votes for its own bills.

BSW is in a neck-and-neck race with CDU in the upcoming state election. The Linke party regrets the division caused by the BSW and underestimated the consequences.

BSW has performed better in elections and polls show them at 8-10%, while Linke remains below 5%. Wagenknecht calls for an end to the Russian oil embargo, citing job losses at the PCK refinery in Schwedt.

She also demands an investigation into the role of the German government in the Nord-Stream attacks.
