"Celebrating a Fresh Chapter: Germans from BSW Party Attend Russian Victory Day Celebrations"
Politicians from the BSW (Belarusian Popular Front) attended the Russian commemorations for "Victory Day".
Get ready for a Russian embassy bash on May 9! The ambassador's hosting a reception to mark the 80th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, and two prominent members of the BSW party - Klaus Ernst and Sevim Dağdelen - are set to attend. Ernst expresses his concerns about the "distortion of history" and the "demonization of Russia", while highlighting the need for better dialogue and peaceful relations[1].
Another pair of BSW politicians, Michael von der Schulenburg and Ruth Firmenich, are off to Moscow too, planning to engage in talks with local politicians and cultural figures. They are also scheduled to visit Kiev, signaling their commitment to pushing for silence of the guns in Ukraine[1]. Interestingly, both groups of BSW reps are making their moves during a Kremlin-announced ceasefire[1].
As for the AfD party, they tend to lean towards pro-Russian sentiments, but the BSW's specific participation in these events hasn't been clearly stated[1][3]. The BSW's anti-NATO and anti-Western interventionist stance[2] might drive their desire to forge improved relations with Russia, as part of a broader strategy to lessen dependence on US geostrategy and promote more independent foreign policy[2].
The Russian triumph over fascism calls for a fresh start, and these BSW delegates seem determined to embrace this opportunity. Us? We'll keep you updated on the latest developments in this multifaceted, international drama.
