Feud in Bavarian BSW Leadership - Ernst Under Fire - Bavarian Wagenknecht Alliance torn by leadership feud ahead of 2024 election

Internal conflict has erupted within the Bavarian branch of the Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW). Three board members, including Freihoffer, accuse Ernst of using his position to control access to members' and supporters' contact details, hindering organizational growth and preparations for upcoming elections. They also allege he is using the information to create a 'climate of fear and intimidation' during state board meetings. The conflict highlights deep divisions within the BSW’s Bavarian leadership, focusing on procedural fairness, access to member data, and the handling of internal elections. Ernst maintains his actions are lawful, but the public dispute risks disrupting the party’s operations in the state for the 2024 presidential election.
