BSW faction splits in Thuringia; Wagenknecht loses control

Sahra Wagenknecht's attempt to enforce party discipline in the Thuringia state parliament backfired, as several BSW deputies broke ranks and left the faction. The split signals internal party dysfunction and may weaken BSW's influence in the state legislature. The move reflects a broader pattern of factional infighting within the party, with implications for its stability ahead of upcoming elections.
