Wagenknecht Party receives donation of one million euros

The donation comes from a couple from East Germany.

Sahra Wagenknecht's party can expect a donation worth millions. An East German couple has donated one million euros to the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), a party spokeswoman confirmed on Tuesday evening. “Spiegel” had previously reported. BSW was founded last week. By then, according to preliminary calculations, the alliance of former left-wing politician Wagenknecht had raised 1.4 million euros in seed capital.

Most of these were small amounts. “We are very happy with the support so far, but at the same time we depend on new donations to be able to finance the structure and the next election campaigns,” treasurer Ralph Suikat told the magazine. (APA/dpa)
