Decide on the name: What should be the future title for the BWS? - Future Renaming of BSW Unveiled
stern In quiet moments, Sahra Wagenknecht might quietly ponder: "Wow, what a wild ride it's been!" Leaving the Left party, forming the BSW, triumphs in eastern state elections, and then the swift descent, falling short of entering the Bundestag for the young "Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht."
Recent headlines have seen their share of turmoil around the BSW. Stories of a "power struggle" between Wagenknecht and Thuringia chief Katja Wolf, discontent among new party members still being appointed, and meddling in local politics from Berlin.
If one could call it that, Wagenknecht has lost the power struggle against Wolf. She isn't worried about personal repercussions, though. "I want this project to thrive," she stated on the talk show "Maischberger."
Sahra Wagenknecht: "Rebranding the Party This Year"
Yet, she made two cryptic and unspecific statements: she won't "stay forever," and the party will change its name this year. She didn't offer any additional details.
One way or another, the BSW must prepare for a future without Sahra Wagenknecht - at least in term of the party name.
