Germany's upstart leftists chip at pro-Ukraine consensus

Germany's new leftist populist party aims to exact a high price from mainstream parties for helping them govern three eastern states, demanding that their regional officials join calls to stop arming Ukraine.

Such concessions risk eroding the pro-Ukraine consensus in Germany, Kyiv's second biggest military supporter against Russia's full-scale invasion of its neighbor. They also foster tensions in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-way federal coalition in Berlin, which is already hanging by a thread.

Launched in January, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is the only party to oppose arming Ukraine besides the far-right AfD, a pariah because other parties refuse to work with it.

The BSW's electoral successes in the states of Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony in September make it a near-indispensable partner for mainstream parties seeking to form coalitions there.
