BSW loses three Thuringia deputies; Wagenknecht alleges sabotage before state vote

Three BSW deputies in Thuringia have left the party, which founder Sarah Wagenknecht calls a 'dirty game' aimed at damaging the alliance ahead of state elections. The exits weaken BSW's regional presence and could shift the balance in the Thuringian state parliament. The motive is disputed; Wagenknecht claims sabotage, while the departing deputies have not publicly detailed their reasons.
