Some see Sahra Wagenknecht’s brand of ‘left conservatism’ as a bulwark against AfD but others see reasons to be wary
Acknowledging the power she holds, Franz Josef Wagner, the long-serving columnist of the tabloid Bild, recently referred to her as a “queen of the elections” who could become “Queen of Darkness” or “Queen of Light”, depending on which direction she takes. Brandenburg voters could ensure a similar result, she said, “and in so doing, send a signal to the unspeakable government in Berlin”, which, she mocked, lived in its own detached capital-city “bubble of organic food shops, lattes and cargo bikes”.
“Not since reunification in 1990 is democracy and freedom in such danger as it is now,” he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Manfred Köhler, 67, who spent 45 years as a shift worker at the local steelworks, admitted he was unconvinced by Wagenknecht and was more likely to vote for the AfD. “But I live in hope that her lot, despite what they say, and the AfD will band together,” he said, sitting on the edge of a flower bed and drawing on a cigarette after the rally.
