Sarah Wagenknecht supported the appointment of the AfD candidate in Saxony-Anhalt

BERLIN, October 6 - RIA Novosti. The Union for Social Justice and Reasonable Economics (BSW, formerly the Sara Wagenknecht Union for Reason and Justice) supports the appointment of the Alternative for Germany candidate to the post of chairman of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, said party founder Sara Wagenknecht.

“BSW is going to put an end to this idiotic firewall system (the principle of the leading traditional parties refusing any cooperation with the AfD - ed.)! The strongest faction in the Landtag should also nominate its chairman - with 44% of the votes this should be a given,” the politician said in an interview with the DPA agency.

According to Wagenknecht, the AfD can no longer be deprived of this obvious parliamentary right. The party was promised reasonable treatment and the abolition of the firewall system before the election, and the politician says her party will keep those promises.

DPA reports that Wagenknecht also criticized attacks by the SPD and the Left on the future Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt led by the AfD. Representatives of these parties compared it to the Reichstag chaired by Hermann Goering, one of the leaders of the NSDAP, who headed the Reichstag from 1932 to 1945. According to Wagenknecht, those who compare AfD candidates to Goering are engaged in an unthinkable downplay of the severity of Nazi crimes.
