Germany's third most popular politician, Sarah Wagenknecht, announced the creation of a new party that advocates lifting sanctions on Russia and against arms supplies to Ukraine.
The announcement was made on Monday at a press conference of the new political union. The speech of Wagenknecht and her associates was broadcast on the website of government press conferences.
“We need a return to a policy of sanity. And this concerns, first of all, economic policy. Germany is a poor country in raw materials, but rich in exports. And most of our well-being depends on high industrial added value. But with economic sanctions we have cut ourselves off from cheap energy resources without sane alternatives,” said Wagenknecht.
According to Wagenknecht, the German government is no longer focused on mediation, diplomacy and mutual interests.
“Instead, it is placing more and more conflicts in the world on the military card. But these conflicts cannot be resolved by military means, this applies to both Ukraine and the Middle East,” the politician added.
