The Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance in Saxony is at peace with itself despite failing to form a government in the state. "We have negotiated with heart and soul for our content and for a stable government - but if the CDU and SPD are not prepared to make changes in important areas such as finance and migration policy, it is a wasted opportunity for them," BSW leader Sabine Zimmermann told the German Press Agency.
Zimmermann: BSW was not elected for "business as usual"
"We have made compromises, but we will not throw our values overboard. Then we would be like all other parties," emphasized the chairwoman. The voters had elected the BSW for change and not for "business as usual". One example of this is peace policy, where the CDU and SPD did not want to seriously address the fears of the population.
