This is CBS I on the World with John Bachelor.

Here's John Bachelor.

To Joseph Sternberg, member of the editor. Here's John Batchelor.

To Joseph Sternberg, member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, he's in London, he writes political economics,

anticipating a exciting election in Germany in the state elections of

Teringia and Saxony upcoming in Brandenburg.

The excitement is over small parties, sometimes self-invented small parties, scoring

very well in the election.

Joe wrote about this last week and emphasized the small party around Saravagensknecht. However, the small party, a little

larger alternative for Deutschland, also attracted a lot of attention last week and now with the results in is a dominating voice at least in

Torhingia and came in second in Saxony. Who are they? What do they represent? Joe, a very good day to you. You picked a

winner, your horse came in. Let us begin with the one I know leased about because it's

brand new. This is the Saravagint Alliance, which is shortened to an acronym,

B.S. W. in Alf. Deutsch. Who is Saragint and what do we need to know about the sympathy or the vote for her

invented party? Good evening to you.

Hey John, well I mean the key place to start is actually the states where these elections took place this weekend or will take place in a couple weeks.

As you mentioned, we're talking about Teringia and Saxony, which voted on Sunday, and then the state of Brandenburg, which is about around Berlin,

which is going to vote on September 22nd.

And they're all voting for their state legislatures.

And the key thing about all three of these states is that they're in the former East Germany.

And Zara Vagencht is sort of a representative politician from these areas in a lot of ways.

She was born in 1969.
