BSW is looking for a new name
Sahra Wagenknecht wants to rename her party – a bit
To name one party – so that Sahra Wagenknecht irritated many. The BSW will soon get a new name, but the abbreviation will remain.
The alliance Sahra Wagenknecht should be renamed the next parliamentary term – but it should stay with the abbreviation BSW. This said party founder Wagenknecht in the so-called top conversation with the “Spiegel” journalist Markus Feldenkirchen. “We will certainly not change the abbreviation. We are glad that people now know who BSW is.”
An idea for the new name is “alliance for security and prosperity,” confirmed Wagenknecht. “But we haven’t decided yet.” So much was to be done in the first year after the party was founded. “This question was one, we have now pushed it back.”
The renaming was already announced. Wagenknecht has said several times that her name had initially been chosen for the recognition value. Now she said: “This is not for eternity.” However, she made it clear that she had no retreat plans.
Sahra Wagenknecht: “In politics you meet many assholes”
Feldenkirchen also asked her what “the all coolest” was in her time in the communist platform. Then Wagenknecht said: “There were really people who were very, very honest and very idealistic. And in politics you meet many assholes and many who are so unscrupulous.” As in the communist platform back then, she now had “people who make politics out of an honest interest” in the BSW.
The communist platform is a group within the party DIE LINKE. Wagenknecht belonged to the group from 1991 to 2010, but now distances itself from their communist views. Wagenknecht left the left in October 2023 and founded the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance.
