flag Germany's BSW rebrands as Alliance for Social Justice and Economic Reason, aiming for political survival after narrowly missing parliament.

flag Germany's left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) has rebranded as the "Alliance for Social Justice and Economic Reason," with the change taking effect October 1, 2026. flag The party, formed in 2024 after a split from Die Linke, elected Amira Mohamed Ali and Fabio De Masi as co-chairs during its Magdeburg congress. flag Founder Sahra Wagenknecht will step down as leader but remains influential. flag The party narrowly missed the 5% threshold to enter the Bundestag in February’s elections, despite gains in states like Brandenburg and Thuringia. flag It opposes military spending and supports diplomatic solutions on Ukraine, affordable energy imports from Russia, and increased social spending. flag The upcoming 2026 Saxony-Anhalt state election is seen as a key test of its unity and political viability.
