The Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance in Saxony is expecting a spirit of optimism from this weekend's national party conference in Magdeburg. The party will turn the corner again, said the Saxon parliamentary group leader Sabine Zimmermann optimistically. The East must be well represented within the federal party because it has the largest electorate in the country. "The East must confidently bring itself forward."
Zimmermann calls for unity within her own ranks
At the same time, Zimmermann, who is stepping down as parliamentary group leader at the beginning of next year for health reasons, called for unity within her own ranks. "Petty warfare is of no use to us." The party is going through a process that is not easy. The interests of the members are different. "You have to put personal interests aside so that the party can move forward again." Zimmermann (64) can imagine working on the BSW's future basic values commission.
