Wagenknecht and de Masi: dispute over voting fraud and Germans abroad!

Wagenknecht and de Masi: dispute over voting fraud and Germans abroad!

In the post-reading for the Bundestag election, Fabio de Masi, the BSW MP in the European Parliament, is critical of the election result. The BSW, the alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, missed only 13,000 votes with a result of 4.97 percent. This corresponds to about 0.028 percent of the voters, which de Masi considers to be worrying, especially since he emphasizes that 6 percent of German Germans were prevented from voting. According to the provisional official result, the BSW received around 4.5 percent in Hesse.

The party leader Sahra Wagenknecht supports the efforts to contest the election result in court. It points out that of 230,000 registered foreign Germans, only a "fraction" could compete for election. This raises questions about the fairness and accessibility of the choice and leads to the consideration of whether legal steps against the result are required.

criticism of media and surveys

de Masi also criticizes the spread of "false exit polls", which in his opinion have disadvantaged the BSW. These surveys saw the BSW only 3 percent before the election, but this proved to be wrong because the actual support was 6 percent. He calls for criminal investigations against public service broadcasting in relation to the exit polls in question.

The ARD denied in a statement that the exit polls come from it. The pressure on the investigators is reinforced by the criticism of Wagenknecht, which denounces negative reporting and possible manipulation of the election behavior. She suspects that the Forsa opinion research institute has driven a targeted campaign against the BSW by reducing the result 48 hours before the election to three percent.

future of the BSW

Despite the setback and failure at the five percent hurdle, Wagenknecht remains optimistic. She plans to stay active and advise on the future of the BSW. An already announced name change of the BSW is to be carried out this year. These steps could mean a new direction for the party.

The discussion about the choice and the associated challenges is far from being completed. De Masi and Wagenknecht continues to request a thorough examination of the circumstances that led to this result and want to ensure that the voices of all voters, including Germans, are taken seriously.
