New Party - BSW founded a state association in Berlin

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is founding its Berlin branch (from 12:00 PM on Sunday) at Adlershof. For the chairmanship, Alexander King, the former Left parliamentarian, and Josephine Thyrêt, the nurse, are running in the founding assembly. Both aim to form a co-chairmanship.

Sahra Wagenknecht, Bundestag member and former Left politician, founded her party in January. According to a party spokesperson, the Berlin branch is the fifth in a series of state associations being formed.

Currently, the BSW claims to have approximately 80 members in Berlin. Many are expected to attend the founding assembly. The event is initially open to media representatives, followed by an internal meeting for around one and a half hours. A press conference with the newly elected chairpersons is then planned.

Diploma-Geographer King is 54 years old and has been a member of the Berlin House of Representatives since December 2021, with a brief interruption. In November 2023, he left the Left parliamentary group to join the BSW. Thyrêt is 49 years old and has been the works council chairman at the state-owned clinic conglomerate Vivantes for almost four years. Since over a year, she also serves as the deputy supervisory board chairman there.
