Sahra Wagenknecht, a veteran of German left-wing politics and former co-leader of the Left Party's parliamentary group, has launched a new populist party in Germany. The party opposes current sanctions against Russia and German arms supplies to Ukraine. Wagenknecht's party combines far-left themes such as opposition to markets, America, and Israel, with far-right themes such as opposition to foreigners and the European Union. Polls suggest the party could gain significant support. It remains uncertain whether Wagenknecht's new party offers anything better for Germany's working class.
