Sahra Wagenknecht and her Progress Alliance are against the prospect of American intermediate-range missiles stationing in Germany and additional weapon supplies to Ukraine. According to Wagenknecht, these topics must be included in the coalition agreement to maintain a clear stance. She emphasizes the necessity of a regional administration advocating for these matters at the national level.
Critics have argued that implementing these stances at the regional level could be challenging. Nevertheless, Wagenknecht believes a regional government can voice concerns, exert influence, and potentially initiate policy changes. As potential government coalitions loom, she hopes the Christian Democrats recognize their responsibility to form a stable government post-election.
Wagenknecht will take part in coalition talks but won't attend every meeting due to scheduling constraints. However, she will handle decisions in close collaboration with local leading candidates. Regarding the renaming of her party following the Bundestag election, Wagenknecht considers it "prudent" if the faction gains strength. She wants to keep politics straightforward and simple.
New state parliaments will be elected in Thuringia and Saxony, with the AfD leading the polls in both regions. The Alliance Wagenknecht, part of the Progress Alliance, shares Wagenknecht's stance against missile stationing and Ukrainian weapon supply, requiring potential coalition partners to engage with her during negotiations.
Enrichment data suggests that Wagenknecht has warned against supplying Taurus missiles to Ukraine, fearing it could escalate the conflict and lead to war with Russia. Her party, the BSW, focuses on social justice and environmental protection, which might influence their stance on military interventions and international affairs.
In the realm of coalition negotiations, the Alliance Wagenknecht could advocate for a more cautious and diplomatic approach to military aid and international relations. They may push for increased European defense capabilities and an independent European defense strategy, instead of relying heavily on U.S. involvement.
