Alexander King, lead candidate of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) in Berlin, has distanced himself from the Alternative for Germany (AfD). According to him, the content overlaps between BSW and AfD in Berlin are limited. King stated this in an interview for rbb. Tagesspiegel ↗
At the same time, the politician defended BSW's approach in Saxony-Anhalt. However, the available statements do not reveal which specific decisions or steps he had in mind. His position thus combines a rejection of closeness to AfD in Berlin with support for the party's approach in another federal state.
King is one of the prominent faces of BSW in the Berlin election campaign. His statements are a response to the public debate about possible programmatic overlaps between BSW and AfD, which emerge when comparing the positions of the two parties. Die Zeit ↗
According to King, however, these overlaps in Berlin do not reach an extent that would justify their political rapprochement. At the same time, he did not indicate that BSW would change its stance toward AfD in the capital.
Further developments will depend on how BSW positions itself against other parties during the Berlin campaign and what explanation it provides for its approach in Saxony-Anhalt. For now, King's statement represents his public position on the difference between BSW's policy in Berlin and its approach in that federal state.
