BSW: Couple donates almost 4.1 million euros to Sahra Wagenknecht's party. Back in January, a couple from Mecklenburg donated one million euros.

Now the patrons are stepping up – to the delight of the party leader. In the European elections, the BSW will be eligible for election for the first time and will be competing with parties "that have a budget of over ten million euros available for the European election campaign alone," said BSW treasurer Ralph Suikat.
