Sahra Wagenknecht, a firebrand MP from far-left Die Linke party and a stalwart of opposition politics since the fall of the Berlin Wall, said she was starting a new political association named after herself.
The Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), which includes nine other deputies, would be leaving the Linke to focus on forming its own party by early next year and participating in European elections in June.
"The way things are going can't continue," Wagenknecht, 54, told a packed news conference.
"Otherwise we probably wouldn't recognise our country in 10 years," she said, denouncing "unchecked migration" which she blamed for exacerbating "the problems in our schools, above all in poor neighbourhoods".
Wagenknecht said her new political outfit would also mark a sharp departure "from the blind, haphazard eco-activism that makes people's lives even more expensive without doing anything to help the climate".
The Linke, which has its roots in both East German communism and the West German labour movement, has long been riven by strife and is teetering on the five-percent voter support hurdle to representation in parliament.
The defection of Wagenknecht's team could eventually sound its death knell.
But analysts focused primarily on BSW's potential threat to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has surged in strength on migration fears and economic woes.

This is a feature of multi-party systems that we don’t have here.
Climate is a mask to promote the interests of Big Banks and Big Business designed to suck in and fool people on the Left.

Huh??
That’s a leftist?! I could easily vote for her!
the left that’s right!
“Don’t be stupid, be a smarty....”
Nothing says, I’m a selfless, humble public servant like naming a political party after yourself.

HELLO!!! Having lived in Germany during Merkel’s invasion many parts of Germany are unrecognizable. They took in the worst of the worst human garbage from middle east and African s holes. One village I lived in filled every hotel and B&B with these filthy cretins and they destroyed everything. They robbed the local stores while the polizei were under orders to not do anything. They vandalized and destroyed the church. They terrorized the locals and would violently grope the girls. While in Berlin the ONLY people who would not be arrested for protesting the invasion were the Turks who integrated for a few generations and hated being associated with the new crop of turd worlders. Woe be to any German who complained. They would be arrested. I left soon after when my residency was revoked even though I am highly skilled in my field and was teaching a few courses at the technical schools. Gotta make room for Merkel’s pets.
Hangen Merkel.
Hangen Merkel.
“Come and join the Nazi Party!’’
You forgot honest! š
