Germany’s failed green agenda is in the sights of leading leftist populist Sahra Wagenknecht as her upstart party laid out its campaign promises this week ahead of the federal election in little over two weeks.
Sahra Wagenknecht, who in 2023 split away from The Left (Die Linke) party, the descendant of the Marxist–Leninist ruling party of former communist East Germany, to form her own eponymous pro-border-control Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), has identified the green agenda as one of the main plights facing the working-class in her country.
In a set of policy proposals to the public ahead of the February 23rd general election, Wagenknecht called for subsidies for so-called green electricity and heating to be abolished, which the party estimated would save the state around 35 billion euros, Die Zeit reports.
These spending savings would help offset tax cuts, including fully eliminating the Value Added Tax (VAT) on basic foodstuffs. Additionally, the BSW would abolish trucking tolls in order to further drive down the cost of food for consumers.
The leftist populist party also called for eliminating the CO2 price scheme, which taxes companies that deal in heating oil, gas, petrol, or diesel per tonne.
The scheme is set to see prices rise from the current tax of 25 euros per tonne of CO2 to 55 euros per tonne this year. The money taken in by the government through the scheme has been directed to “climate action measures” such as investments in so-called renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
Commenting on the havoc wrought on the German economy by the globalist green agenda, Wagenknecht said last week: “We are losing our industry. Companies are leaving or staggering into bankruptcy. Millions of people are afraid for their jobs, and record prices for energy and food are eating away at their purchasing power.”
The BSW was conjured out of a hat as a rabbit to prevent the AfD from gaining too much ground in East German state elections last year. In the meantime, internal disputes and incidents of corruption have led to its entry into the Bundestag in the upcoming elections being in doubt. Perhaps DOGE can turn a blind eye to USAID once again for the necessary assistance.
Did she also get rejected from Art School?
Ummmm there's no such thing as "left populist". I think we learned this through the usaid exposure
