The head of BSW, Sahra Wagenknecht, is calling on Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to make a government statement on the change of course regarding the use of German weapons against military targets in Russia. "He should explain to the public why it should suddenly no longer be a problem if Ukraine attacks Russian territory with German weapons, even though he himself warned against this for months with reference to the threat of war for our country," Wagenknecht told the Funke Mediengruppe newspapers (Monday).
"German weapons on targets in Russia - that fills many people in Saxony with great concern," BSW Chairwoman Sabine Zimmermann from Saxony told the German Press Agency in Dresden. "It is precisely this policy, it is precisely this constant spiral of escalation that we as the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance reject." On the posters for the European elections, the SPD is still calling for "Securing peace" and promising "Prudent action" with the image of the chancellor. Scholz has completely abandoned this prudence by approving the use of weapons in Russia.
