A new challenger seeks to enter the German party system: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht. With her new party, former Die Linke politician Sahra Wagenknecht combines a left-authoritarian profile (economically left-leaning, but culturally conservative) with anti-US, pro-Russia and anti-elitist stances.
Anders ausgedrückt, haben wir anhand des NDM analysiert, ob und wie viele Personen den folgenden BSW-Positionen einzeln und insgesamt zustimmen: EU-Antipathie, nutzenorientierte Migrationsskepsis, Skepsis gegenüber Kapitalismus sowie keine höhere Präferenz für Klimawandelbekämpfung gegenüber Wirtschaftswachstum.[In other words, we used the NDM to analyse whether and how many people agree with the following BSW positions individually and collectively: EU antipathy, benefit-oriented scepticism about migration, scepticism about capitalism, and no higher preference for combating climate change over economic growth.]
Some analysts say Wagenknecht is offering something that has never been seen before in Germany: Conservative social values allied with socialist economic values.
Manuel Müller, a European politics expert at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA), told Euractiv that BSW represents "Eurosceptic left-conservatism".
French MEP Manon Aubry of La France Insoumise (The Left) said the AfD's success, along with the strong showing of the far-left BSW party led by Sahra Wagenknecht, reflected a polarised political landscape in Germany and in Europe.
Ihre Mischung aus sozialkonservativer und sozialistisch orientierter Wirtschaftspolitik sei bei Anti-Establishment- und rechten Wählern beliebt, sagte der Politikwissenschaftler Constantin Wurthmann kürzlich in einem Interview mit Euractiv.[Its mixture of socially conservative and socialist-oriented economic policy is popular with anti-establishment and right-wing voters, said political scientist Constantin Wurthmann in a recent interview with Euractiv.]
Nothing could be further away from the political programme if one carefully reads the BSW programme, which is pro-Russian, anti-capitalist, and anti-Western
That makes the BSW, which finished third with 11.8% of the vote, a crucial potential partner. The party has campaigned on a mix of opposition to immigration, far-left economic policies and right-wing stances on some social issues such as gender policy.[permanent dead link]

We're now in a position where the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is polling as the second largest political party while a new far-Left party, headed by the former communist Sahra Wagenknecht, is also projected to take up seats in the next German parliament.
Formed in January this year after much speculation, the party's unique appeal lies in its anti-immigration stance and conservative cultural positions, such as scepticism towards gender-inclusive language and trans rights.
"Auch hier zeigt sich eine Parallele zu Wagenknecht, die ihre Partei explizit sozialkonservativ ausrichtet und sich gegen von ihr als „woke"...[Here, too, there is a parallel to Wagenknecht, who explicitly aligns her party with social conservatism and opposes what she calls "woke"...]
Knapp drei Wochen nach der Bundestagswahl steht das endgültige Ergebnis der Bundestagswahl fest: Das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) erhielt im Vergleich zum vorläufigen Ergebnis aus der Wahlnacht zwar weitere 4.277 gültige Zweitstimmen zugeschrieben, wie der Bundeswahlausschuss bei seiner Sitzung in Berlin feststellte. Die Partei bleibt dabei mit 4,981 Prozent aber weiter hauchdünn unter der Fünf-Prozent-Hürde.[Almost three weeks after the federal election, the final result of the federal election has been determined: the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) received a further 4,277 valid second votes compared to the preliminary result from election night, as determined by the Federal Election Committee at its meeting in Berlin. However, at 4.981 per cent, the party remains razor-thin below the five-percent hurdle.]
Das BSW will in diesem Jahr Tausende neue Mitglieder gewinnen. Co-Parteichefin Wagenknecht erklärte Ende Juni, man konzentriere sich auf den strukturellen Aufbau. Die Zahl der damals etwa 2.800 Mitglieder soll bis zum Jahresende auf 10.000 anwachsen. Bis 2027 soll ein umfassendes Parteiprogramm entstehen. Ziel sei es, spätestens 2029 in den Bundestag einzuziehen.[The BSW aims to recruit thousands of new members this year. Co-party leader Wagenknecht stated at the end of June that the focus would be on structural development. The number of members, which stood at around 2,800 at the time, is expected to grow to 10,000 by the end of the year. A comprehensive party programme is to be developed by 2027. The goal is to enter the Bundestag by 2029 at the latest.]
