Wagenknecht backs AfD state parliament president, breaking German firewall

BSW leader Sahra Wagenknecht endorses the election of an AfD candidate as state parliament president, arguing the strongest faction should hold the post. This marks a notable breach of the informal cross-party 'Brandmauer' (firewall) against cooperation with the far-right AfD in Germany. The move could signal shifting political norms ahead of state-level elections, though its immediate national impact remains limited.
