Everyone is talking about how unpleasant the new Wagenknecht party is for the CDU. But the SPD has much more to worry about, because it is not only losing votes to the new alliance.
Dietmar Woidke goes on the attack. He has to be fundamental now. Brandenburg’s Prime Minister, surrounded by piles of straw bales, calls out his principles from the stage: tolerance, cosmopolitanism, democracy. “Xenophobia has no place in this country and we cannot afford it in Brandenburg in the future!” Applause from the audience. SPD man Woidke, 62, does not even have to say who he means by that: the divisive and polarizing people who are currently putting him and his party under a lot of pressure. The AfD is there, of course. But there is also a new, dangerous opponent who combines right-wing programs with left-wing social policy – and is thus getting to the core of his comrades: the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, BSW for short.
