The Left Party suffered heavy losses in the June 2024 European elections, as well as in Germany 's regional elections just three months later in the eastern states of Saxony and Thuringia .

In January 2024 , party renegades split off and founded the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance ( BSW ), named after its spokesperson.

The BSW party advocates for a social and economic policy similar to The Left, but its migration policy is much closer to the far-right AfD.

The Left 's current goal is to garner more than 5% of the vote and return to the Bundestag in Germany 's 2025 federal election. How to achieve that will no doubt be the main topic at the federal party convention in Halle , Saxony-Anhalt , from October 18th to 20th, 2024 . This article was originally written in German . Author: Marcel Fürstenau .
