German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock believes that the Sahra-Wagenknecht alliance poses a security threat to Germany. The fact that the BSW scored points in the recent state election with populist peace slogans shows “how intertwined Russian propaganda is,” the Green politician told Stern.
The Green politician also said: “If the parties closest to the authoritarian thinking of our German basic law also win, it puts our country’s security at risk.”
Baerbock strongly attacks BSW and appeals to Putin
“The bland slogan that the war will end without military aid to Ukraine” was “as naive as it was wrong”, Baerbock criticized: “If Ukraine stops defending itself, then Ukraine has come to the end and Putin’s soldiers are on the Polish border.” . “If Putin stops attacking, the war will end.”
Berbock appealed to the Russian President to return to the negotiating table. The minister said: “It is not our fault or even Ukraine’s fault that there are no peace negotiations.” He added: “The whole world will breathe a sigh of relief if Putin finally stops bombing and is willing to sit at the negotiating table. The invitation is ready.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) also recently called on Putin to participate in peace negotiations.
