☆ Former German Spy Chief Founds New Right-Wing Party
  + stars: | 2024-02-17 | by ( Feb. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
By Thomas Escritt and Sarah MarshBERLIN (Reuters) - A former German spy chief who was sacked after being accused of averting his eyes to the threat posed by the far-right founded a new right-wing party on Saturday, holding an inaugural party congress on a boat near Germany's old capital Bonn. The Werteunion, or Values Union, is headed by Hans-Georg Maassen, who was dismissed as head of Germany's Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) in 2018. A former member of the opposition Christian Democrats, Maassen is himself now being monitored by the security agency he ran, he said last month. Maassen said on social media platform X, posting a photo of himself and colleagues in front of a German flag on the boat. Earlier this year, leftist politician Sahra Wagenknecht founded a new left populist party.

☆ Sahra Wagenknecht’s New Party in Germany Reveals the Strange State of the Left - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Christopher Caldwell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
On Monday morning, Sahra Wagenknecht, the most charismatic politician in Germany’s Left party, led an uprising against it. The Left party descends from Communist East Germany’s old ruling party, which Ms. Wagenknecht joined in 1989, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. To put it in crude American terms: It has become too woke for Ms. Wagenknecht. At a time of housing shortages and weak wage growth, the government’s unwillingness to stem the influx of economic migrants is “irresponsible,” Ms. Wagenknecht says. Ms. Wagenknecht faults her party not just for failing to oppose the government but also for bullying and belittling those citizens who do.

☆ Germany's far-left star quits post-Communists to found populist party

German politician and member of the Bundestag for The Left party Sahra Wagenknecht attends a press conference to present the "Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, BSW" in Berlin, Germany October 23, 2023. "Many no longer know who to vote for or vote for the right out of rage and despair," she said. "At a time of crisis.... Left legislators should concentrate on doing their job," said Left party leader Janine Wissler. That fragmentation has let the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party come second in several recent elections - drawing on a pool of voters the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance could also tap. A Civey poll for T-Online found some 20% of voters could imagine voting for her new party.

☆ Leftist Upstart Threatens to Shake Up German Politics
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Christopher F. Schuetze | More About Christopher F. Schuetze | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A significant new fissure opened on Monday, when one of the country’s most prominent leftist politicians, Sahra Wagenknecht, announced that she would form her own party, throwing up yet another wild card and challenging the political mainstream. Few Germans do not know Ms. Wagenknecht. A gifted orator, she has made something of a brand for herself with her biting criticism of the government and over-the-top political rhetoric. True to form, the association she founded with four others to build the party is named after herself: the Sahra Wagenknecht Coalition, or BSW in the German acronym, making it the first party in postwar Germany built entirely around one figurehead. Ms. Wagenknecht said the party would be a home for those who feel abandoned by mainstream politics, and stand for “reason and fairness.”

Erics Kun was fighting yawns the first few times he and Sahra Nguyen got together in the fall of 2016. After staying up all night in his bartending job, he couldn’t pass up the chance to see her for early morning coffee. Ms. Nguyen, whose family is from Vietnam, is the founder and chief executive of Nguyen Coffee Supply, which combines her appreciation for a bold cup of joe with her culture. Cafes in cities including New York and San Francisco use the company’s beans for their Vietnamese iced coffee. Inspiration for the brand, which started taking shape in 2016 before becoming official in 2018, arrived courtesy of the Brooklyn coffee shops Ms. Nguyen once hung out in as an independent documentary producer, writer and director.

From journalist to business ownerNguyen started her career as a freelance journalist with a desire to tell stories about the Asian American community. Starting Nguyen Coffee Supply wasn't just about sharing a love for coffee, she added. With Nguyen Coffee Supply, Nguyen said she hoped to spread the word about Vietnamese coffee and, in the process, "elevate the culture and community and products."
