German left-populist BSW lawmaker organizes delegation trip to Belarus and Russia

Brandenburg state parliament member Sven Hornauf of the BSW party has announced plans to travel by bus to Vitebsk in Belarus in November, gathering a delegation from several German parties. The trip is part of a broader initiative to visit both Belarus and Russia.

November trip announced

Sven Hornauf, a member of the state parliament (Landtag) of the German federal state of Brandenburg representing the left-populist party "Alliance for Social Justice and a Reasonable Economy" (BSW), has publicly revealed his intention to lead a delegation trip to Belarus and Russia in November. BSW emerged from the former Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance and continues its political line.

Bus journey to Vitebsk

According to Hornauf, the specific journey involves traveling by bus to Vitebsk, a city in Belarus. The delegation he plans to assemble for this trip will include not only BSW members but also like-minded representatives from several other German political parties.

Unknown details

No exact date in November has been publicly disclosed for the trip, nor has a full list of delegation participants been released. Details about what meetings or events are planned in Vitebsk or elsewhere in Belarus and Russia remain unclear, as does which specific parties besides BSW will be represented in the delegation.

The information about the trip comes from Hornauf's own statement, and no other official comments from the German government or the leadership of the relevant parties have been reported so far regarding this initiative.
