The BSW summit advocates for the decisive foreign policy stances of future administrations.
Sure, I can rephrase that for you. Here goes:
Obviously, a Minister President ought to voice this out in public too, stated Wagenknecht. She underlined that the BSW has turned into a significant force in Germany after the state elections on Sunday.
The BSW's leading candidate in Saxony, Sabine Zimmermann, shared from the campaign trail that the topic of "War and Peace" kept popping up among the public. It's a matter, she noted, "that truly preoccupies people's thoughts."
Zimmermann insisted regarding potential coalition talks: "We're not just here, we're really here for a shift in politics. Those who wish to form a coalition with us must embody this change." If the other democratic parties fail to undergo a "fundamental" change, "we will not join a coalition," she declared.
The BSW's top candidate in Thuringia, Katja Wolf, referred to the party's stance during the campaign. If the people's expectations aren't met, "we'd be doing democracy a disservice," she cautioned.
When asked about her direct involvement in coalition negotiations in Saxony or Thuringia, Wagenknecht noted such discussions are "obviously specialized negotiations." She doesn't claim to have a say in the specifics. "But I do expect: Anyone who wishes to form a coalition with us must also speak with me," she reiterated.
She anticipates "that Mr. Voigt and Mr. Kretschmer will also talk to me," said Wagenknecht, concerning the Thuringian CDU leader Mario Voigt and the Saxon Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU). "It's about the overall picture," she emphasized, stressing that a coalition should be thoroughly explored: "In fact, nobody should have an interest in governments being formed out of desperation."
In light of Sabine Zimmermann's campaign experiences, discussing "War and Peace" has become a prominent concern among the public in Saxony. Reflecting on potential coalition talks, Katja Wolf highlighted that failing to meet the people's expectations could result in a disservice to democracy.
