: Wagenknecht party founds Thuringian regional association

A BSW regional association with dual leadership has been founded in Thuringia. It is the second in Germany after Saxony.

The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) has founded a Thuringian regional association in Eisenach. Local politician Katja Wolf and entrepreneur Steffen Schütz were elected as the two chairmen, as a spokesman announced on Friday after the founding meeting in Eisenach.

Wolf is considered the most prominent move to BSW in Thuringia to date. The 48-year-old is the mayor of Eisenach and was a member of the Left for more than 30 years before joining BSW. A BSW regional association was founded in Saxony three weeks ago.

BSW wants to run in Thuringia in the local elections coming up in May, in the European elections and in the state elections. New state parliaments will be elected in Thuringia and Saxony on September 1st, and in Brandenburg three weeks later.
