A German conservative lawmaker has filed a legal complaint against Sahra Wagenknecht of the far-left BSW party alleging comments she made about him at a campaign rally last month amount to incitement.
In her speech to around 300 people in the western city of Saarbruecken on May 27, Wagenknecht, the party co-leader, called for action to be taken to halt Christian Democrat Roderich Kiesewetter’s efforts to promote military support for the government in Kyiv.
