Five lawmakers from the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance will enter Saxony-Anhalt's state parliament, and their decisions could determine whether the AfD governs the state.

The BSW's presence gives the party significant influence over the formation of a government. With only five representatives, the group is small, but its position could prove decisive in the state parliament.

The article looks at the politicians behind those seats and examines who they are and how they think. Their positions matter because the BSW could hold the balance in Saxony-Anhalt's political future.
