Germany’s new left wing party calls for an end to the war in Ukraine
THE leader of Germany’s new left-wing party called on Saturday for an immediate end to the war in Ukraine.
Sahra Wagenknecht also attacked the policies of the increasingly unpopular coalition government led by Olaf Scholz of the Social Democratic Party.
She told the founding conference of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance — Reason and Justice (BSW) that the party was “setting out to change politics in Germany,” which had been overcome by “insecurity, outrage and fury.”
