Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that those who portray people advocating for peace as friends of Russia stoke war sentiment. In her view, Uli Hoeneß should return to the fan area and listen to whether people really wanted to continue financing the war in Ukraine with taxpayers' money and at the expense of their own country. She described it as baseless to insult critics of the federal government's Ukraine policy as pro-Moscow and wrote that such a debate contributes to Germany being drawn deeper into the war. #Frieden #Ukraine #Debatte (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that a current study by the ifo Institute shows that in recent years, around 500,000 employees in the German industry have lost their jobs. She cited the causes as energy and sanctions policy, high energy prices, bureaucracy, and insufficient investments in infrastructure. She also claimed that in Germany, a company goes bankrupt every 19 minutes and hundreds of thousands of additional jobs are at risk. Wagenknecht held Chancellor Friedrich Merz responsible for the economic developments and pointed to the defeats of the CDU in state elections as well as poor approval ratings. She called for a swift end to the government and demanded that Merz resign from his position. #Deutschland #Wirtschaft #Arbeitsplätze (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the war in Ukraine could end with the proposed peace plan. She urged Merz to support the plan and the proposal for a diplomatic leadership role for Europe, instead of reinforcing Zelensky in his intransigence and thereby prolonging the suffering at the expense of German taxpayers. At the same time, she stated with regard to point 2 that EU membership for Ukraine is also excluded for the foreseeable future under strict neutrality, as it would become a bottomless pit for European taxpayers. #Ukraine #Frieden #EU (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded an additional 70 billion euros for the coming year at the recent EU summit, on top of the already promised 90 billion euros. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also advocated for higher payments to Ukraine, she criticized. Germany has already spent more than 100 billion euros on the war; moreover, the German taxpayer must bear a significant portion of the EU payments. Wagenknecht pointed out that other countries, especially the USA, have largely halted their payments. Wagenknecht described Merz's statement in his recent government declaration that no euro for Ukraine is missing in the German social systems as nonsensical. She claimed that the costs would ultimately be passed on to citizens through cuts in care, pensions, and health, and accused Merz of making policies against his own population. She called for his resignation. #Steuern #Euro (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the BSW is continuing its substantive work and is preparing a proposal in Saxony-Anhalt against the settlement of an Israeli armaments company in Sangerhausen. The Left Party supported the concern in the election campaign; all other factions are also invited to join the initiative. Peace must stand above every "firewall," she stated. #Frieden #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW, together with the AfD, pushed for a motion in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt for diplomacy and an end to the sanctions against Russia. She said that this marked the first time a German parliament has called for peace negotiations, an end to escalation, and a stop to the billions in aid to Kyiv. Wagenknecht described the motion as the fulfillment of a key campaign promise of the BSW. The party rejects the firewall and aims to use majorities in the state parliament to improve people's lives through substantive cooperation with all democratically elected forces, she wrote. She intends to discuss the next steps in Saxony-Anhalt with Claudia Wittig, the deputy chairwoman of the BSW parliamentary group in Magdeburg. #Frieden #Diplomatie #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the firewall has failed and the BSW is now implementing its election promise to use issue-related majorities in the interest of the citizens. Together with the AfD, the party introduced and passed a motion in the Magdeburg state parliament for diplomacy and an end to Russia sanctions. Wagenknecht referred to this as the first signal from a German parliament for peace negotiations, an end to the escalation, and a halt to the billion-euro payments to Kiev. In an interview with WELT TV, she explained why this is an important signal to the federal government and why the war in Ukraine must come to an end. #Frieden #Diplomatie #UkraineKrieg (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote in a guest article in the OAZ that the firewall has strengthened the AfD and divided the country. She argued that currently, it is primarily the self-proclaimed defenders of democracy who are endangering democracy, and only a policy against the firewall can overcome the polarization in the country. #Demokratie #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht accused Friedrich Merz of losing touch with reality and called it absurd to refer to the planned reforms as a "justice program." According to polls, 80 percent of citizens rightly considered the reforms unjust, she wrote. Wagenknecht rejected Merz's statement that no euro for Ukraine was missing from social systems. She claimed that Merz was retrieving the money for the Ukraine aid through cuts in nursing, pensions, and health from the citizens. At the same time, she welcomed the fact that the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt had approved a peace proposal that day. She wrote that Merz was making politics against his own people and was a burden for the country. #Politik #Reformen #Deutschland (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht described the decision as a parliamentary success of the BSW. For the first time, a parliament in Germany has advocated for peace negotiations, an end to escalation, and a halt to the billion-euro payments to Kyiv, she wrote. In her view, these payments prolong the war and are financed through cuts to citizens in Germany. Wagenknecht stated that the firewall has failed. In Saxony-Anhalt, the BSW wants to make politics with changing majorities and thus implement as many of its positions as possible. The still-serving CDU Prime Minister must implement the decision and bring the peace initiative to the Bundesrat in November. Otherwise, it would be a gross disregard for the state parliament and the will of the voters, she wrote. #Frieden #Politik #Bundestag (translated)

It is complete nonsense that Germany spends many billions on aid to Ukraine but has never demanded explanations from (President Volodymyr) Zelensky. There should also be questions about possible compensation. Sahra Wagenknecht from BSW already in 2025, after the detention of Serhii K., told Reuters: "It is complete nonsense that Germany spends many billions on aid to Ukraine but has never demanded explanations from (President Volodymyr) Zelensky. There should also be questions about possible compensation." #NordStream #Ukraina #PolitykaEnergii (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht praised a WELT article by Thomas Schulze and Claudia Wittig regarding the peace proposal from BSW and AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and shared excerpts from it. The federal government was accused of allocating funds for Ukraine while cutting back on pensions, care, and health services. Wagenknecht also referred to the state elections on September 6, stating that the current politics had been voted out. The proposal, which was to be introduced the following Wednesday, called for peace negotiations and a willingness to compromise. Wagenknecht described it as a historic step and the end of the "firewall," stating that it should send a signal for more diplomacy and less weaponry. Saxony-Anhalt needed to carry the peace policy to the Bundesrat; The Left also had to decide whether to support the proposal. Wagenknecht argued that Germany had already allocated around 100 billion euros for the war and claimed that Ukraine had blown up Nord Stream. She called for an end to sanctions against Russia and a return to Russian oil and gas. According to her, the Ukraine policy and the economic war against Russia were harming citizens, municipalities, and the economy in Saxony-Anhalt, including the chemical triangle, small and medium-sized enterprises, and households. #Frieden #SachsenAnhalt #Politik (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the proposal should be the first to persuade a German parliament to clearly oppose the federal government's policy towards Ukraine and advocate for peace negotiations as well as compromises to end the war. From Magdeburg, a signal for peace politics should be sent to the federal government. Germany needs a government that seeks dialogue with Moscow again, rather than advancing an escalation that could end in war, she wrote. Wagenknecht accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of having traveled to Kyiv again last weekend with extensive financial support. He is handing out billion-dollar checks in Ukraine while simultaneously cutting pensions, care, and health services in Germany, she wrote. This policy at the expense of the citizens must come to an end. #Frieden #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

"The BSW ends the firewall idiocy. The strongest faction in a state parliament should also hold the position of the state parliament president – with 44 percent voter support, this should be a matter of course," said Sahra Wagenknecht, defending the controversial real estate businessman Tobias Rausch (35) to the highest office in Saxony-Anhalt in protocol terms. #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #Protest (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW wants to end the "firewall" to the AfD. In her view, the strongest faction in a state parliament should also provide the president of the state parliament; with a voter approval of 44 percent, that is self-evident. This parliamentary normality should no longer be disregarded in relation to the AfD. The BSW had promised a reasonable approach to the AfD and an end to the firewall before the election and is now implementing this, she wrote. Wagenknecht described the comparison of the AfD candidate for the presidency of the state parliament with Hermann Göring as the low point of the debate and as a trivialization of National Socialism. There is no "Göring 2.0" up for election. Anyone who relativizes the greatest crimes committed by Germans in this way has lost all compass, she wrote. #Politik #Landtag #AfD (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht criticized that Friedrich Merz had traveled to Kyiv and promised Ukraine further billions in aid while the federal government in Germany was making cuts. She pointed to savings on pensions, care, families, and health, and accused the environment of Volodymyr Zelensky of corruption. Wagenknecht wrote that Merz had become the most unpopular chancellor of all time, and nine out of ten Germans were dissatisfied with his work. She demanded that anyone spending money abroad and disregarding the interests of their own population should resign. For the BSW, she called for an end to German taxpayer money for Ukraine, relief for citizens, and an end to what she sees as socially unjust austerity plans. #Deutschland #Politik #Wirtschaft (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the SPD is at 13 percent in polls and is nevertheless pushing for a ban on the AfD, which is at 28 percent. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil expressed this in a recent interview. He is supported by the chairpersons of the SPD factions in the Bundestag, the European Parliament, and the state parliaments, who in a joint statement called for the initiation of a review process as a democratic duty. Wagenknecht stated that the democratic duty of the SPD and other traditional parties is to make politics in the interest of the majority, rather than wanting to ban a more successful political competitor. Ignoring citizens' concerns, even though people are increasingly voting for the AfD out of anger and dissatisfaction with the prevailing politics, is undemocratic, she wrote. The BSW firmly rejects this approach and calls for a political debate on the issues instead of discussions about bans. #AfD #Demokratie #Politik (translated)
