Sahra Wagenknecht's party, The Left, holds 5.3% of seats in the German Bundestag (parliament).
Sahra Wagenknecht is a good example of the 'horseshoe theory' of political partisanship: The further people/parties get from the political center, both to the left and the right, the closer their political positions align with those of their political opposites. Like a horseshoe, the ends meet.
Sahra Wagenknecht, while being on the socialist left, shares several political and social views with those on the political far right: Opposition to NATO, in favor of Russia, opposition to EU's support of Ukraine, opposition to Israel, opposition to immigration, opposition to the German Covid-19 response (incl. vaccination policy). While these are all legitimate views, it's interesting that two political groupings that, on paper, are so far apart still have so much in common.
