Sahra Wagenknecht alliance is sure to be in the European elections: De Masi will be the top candidate. WagenKnecht caused controversy when she decided to leave her long-standing party, the Left.

She cited the “incompetence and arrogance” in the Berlin Bundestag and the government as the reason for founding the new party. The party, which began as an association, was officially founded on January 8th, 2024.
