FOR SEVIM DAGDELEN, the most important issue in next month’s German election is peace, and the only pro-peace party is the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW).
Dagdelen may be the most familiar in Britain of the 10 MPs who broke with Die Linke (The Left) to form BSW over a year ago, having played a role in the campaign to free Julian Assange and holding the party’s foreign policy brief. I met her last month at her Bundestag office to get her take on Germany’s political crisis.
“Our focus is peace,” she begins simply. “Stop arming Ukraine. Stop arming Israel. Stop economic sanctions and proxy wars. Pursue diplomacy, detente.”
