#Germany / Germany’s new leftist party and AfD rival makes strides in EU election

While the #AfD still led in some eastern German states according to polls mentioned, the #BSW managed to get 6% of the vote nationally in these EU elections after just being founded 5 months ago. In some eastern states which are AfD strongholds, the BSW even took a comfortable third place with up to 15% of the vote.

[…] "With the AfD leading in polls across much of eastern Germany, and most parties ruling out governing with them, the #BSW may end up the key to forming regional coalitions together with more mainstream parties later this year."

It just happens that BSW, led by Sahra Wagenknecht, is noted to have criticized #Israel more vocally, calling #Gaza an "open-air prison" and accusing Israel of "ruthless warfare" and "war crimes", though still affirming support for Israel as a state.
