Title: The future of Sahra Wagenknecht: Who could follow her in a new party?

A possible break between Sahra Wagenknecht and the left party is emerging. Although the 54-year-old has not yet publicly explained whether she will found a new party, surveys show that many people have sympathy for a party founded by Wagenknecht. In this article we take a look at your allies and opponents.

One of her closest supporters is her husband Oskar Lafontaine. He left the left last year and could advise Wagenknecht on her next steps. Lafontaine has experience with party start -ups because he has already found various parties in his political life.

The parliamentary group leader Amira Mohamed Ali is also considered a possible colleague from Wagenknecht. She has announced that she can withdraw from the party and the parliamentary group and could participate in a party foundation by Wagenknecht. However, this is a sensitive topic, since the left currently represents 39 members of the Bundestag. If the Wagenknecht supporters drop out, the number would fall below 36, which could mean the loss of parliamentary group status.

Another ally of Wagenknecht is Sevim Dagdelen. The foreign politician is at her side and criticizes the left-wing tip sharply. It accuses the party leadership to promote a split and concentrate on a shrinking group of sect fans. Dagdelen considers a political force to be urgently necessary for the interests of the majority and sees the potential to decimate the AfD in a Wagenknecht party.

Klaus Ernst could also imagine a Wagenknecht party. In such a new establishment, Bayer sees potential not only to address the left spectrum, but also to be interested in many other voters. Ernst was already involved in the foundation of the WASG and was temporarily chairman of the Left Party.

Dietmar Bartsch, who once led the parliamentary group with Wagenknecht, warns of the party's breaking apart. He sees a spin-off of the Wagenknecht bearing as devastating for the Left Party.

The chairpersons of the left, Janine Wissler and Martin Schirdewan, have completely distanced themselves from Wagenknecht. They accuse her of leading the party to further election defeats and making a splinter party in perspective. However, calls for reconciliation and avoiding a split come from the party.

Wagenknecht wants to decide a possible party foundation this year. It remains to be seen which supporters and opponents will follow her in a new party and what effects this will have on the political landscape.
