AfD and BSW Team Up to Push Russia Talks in Germany

Two German political parties are working together to demand talks with Moscow. In the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the far-right AfD and the left-wing BSW have formed an alliance. Their shared goal: push for negotiations with Russia. The move raises a question. Why are these two parties, from opposite ends of the political spectrum, now cooperating? Both parties want Germany to seek direct talks with Moscow. The AfD has long called for closer ties with Russia. The BSW, founded by former left-wing politician Sahra Wagenknecht, also supports diplomacy over confrontation. Their partnership in Saxony-Anhalt shows how Russia policy is reshaping German politics. It also puts pressure on mainstream parties to respond.
