Germany's opposition socialist Left Party (Die Linke) announced on Tuesday that it would dissolve its faction in the German Bundestag as of December 6 following a series of internal splits.
In October, prominent left-wing politician and former Left Party parliamentary co-chair Sahra Wagenknecht announced her resignation from the party and her intention to found a new populist party which experts believe could threaten both the Left Party and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Two new parliamentary groups are now expected to emerge with the remaining 28 Left Party members on the one hand and Wagenknecht and her supporters on the other.
