BERLIN (AP) — A prominent German leftist politician has launched plans to form a new party that some observers think could take votes away from the far-right Alternative for Germany.

Sahra Wagenknecht on Monday presented her “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance — for Reason and Fairness.” The aim is to formally launch the party in January, in time for European Parliament elections in June. Three state elections in Germany’s formerly communist east will follow next fall.

Calling her a leftist is a huge stretch at this point. But it was never about any political positions for her. The only thing this person stands for is herself.

I mean the new party is in her name, it's pretty transparent.
