The former left-wing politician is actually sitting with Markus Lanz to talk about her new party’s program. But then it turns to the secret meeting of AfD politicians in Brandenburg, and she stumbles across an old acquaintance.
At the end of the show, Sahra Wagenknecht almost seems as if nothing had happened, as she demands in her Rosa Luxemburg red costume that Europe should not remain a “digital colony of America” and that diplomacy should be used instead of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine have to use weapons. So far, so Wagenknecht. The former left-wing politician, who was otherwise so rhetorically unshakable, had definitely stumbled in the previous 80 minutes. A former Düsseldorf dentist and the Volksbank Pirna have a lot to do with this, but more on that in a moment.
