Former German left politician Sahra Wagenknecht wants to found her own party with a small team of allies in 2024. Previous Left co-group leader Amira Mohamed Ali said the group of nine MPs had already left the Left Party. The party is scheduled to participate in the European elections in June

“This decision was not easy for us.” At the same time, she announced that Wagenknecht and his supporters were “willing to remain in the left faction.”
Wagenknecht’s criticisms of “Traffic Light”
Despite countless crises around the world, the “traffic light government” has no plan and Germany has an absurdly poor infrastructure. “The way things are currently cannot continue,” Wagenknecht said in Berlin. Germany is threatened with a loss of prosperity. The country must move away from a blind ecological path and the minimum wage must be significantly increased.
Wagenknecht, together with Bundestag members Ali and Christian Leye, as well as the businessman Ralph Suikat and the former managing director of the Left in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lukas Schön, founded an association to prepare the founding of a party. Experts believe it could attract a larger proportion of non-voters and protest voters.
