A fifth of German voters would consider backing a new party that may be established by a far-left politician who has opposed weapons deliveries to Ukraine, according to a poll published Monday.
Sahra Wagenknecht of the Left party — which traces its roots to East Germany’s communist party — has said she will make a decision on whether to set up a breakaway group by the end of this year. The YouGov survey for news agency DPA showed that 6% of those polled would definitely consider voting for her new outfit, while another 14% would tend that way.
It could also mean that the Left, which has been riven by infighting, misses the 5% threshold to enter parliament at the next national election, due in two years. It’s already dropped to 4% in some polls, having lost its once—dominant position in eastern Germany to the anti-immigrant AfD. The 54-year-old lawmaker, who is married to Left co-founder and former German Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine, has been a vocal critic of the ruling coalition’s backing for Ukraine, especially the decision to supply billions of euros worth of military hardware.
