A |     BERLIN -- A prominent German leftist politician has launched plans to form a new party that some observers think could take votes away from the far-right Alternative for Germany.Sahra Wagenknecht on Monday presented her “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance — for Reason and Fairness.” The aim is to formally launch the party in January, in time for European Parliament elections in June. Three state elections in Germany's formerly communist east will follow next fall.Wagenknecht offers a combination of left-wing economic policy, with high wages and generous benefits, and a restrictive approach to migration. She also questions some environmentalists' plans to combat climate change and opposes current sanctions against Russia, which was once Germany's leading gas supplier, and German arms supplies to Ukraine.Wagenknecht is launching her project at a time when center-left Chancellor Olaf Scholz's quarrelsome three-party coalition is deeply unpopular. National polls show mainstream opposition conservatives leading and Alternative for Germany, or AfD, in second place with around 20% support.“Many people don't know any more what they should vote for, or vote for the right out of anger and desperation,” Wagenknecht said. Wagenknecht, 54, grew up in East Germany and joined the ruling communist party in 1989. She was a prominent figure on its successor’s hard-left wing and in the Left Party, which emerged in 2005 when eastern ex-communists merged with western leftists disgruntled with welfare-state cuts.She said that with the economic sanctions against Russia, "we have cut off ourselves off from cheap energy without there being viable alternatives." She accused Scholz’s government of abandoning “the important tradition of detente” and argued that “conflicts cannot be resolved militarily — that goes for Ukraine, that goes for the Middle East and it goes for many other parts of the world.”“We must also get away from a blind, haphazard eco-activism that makes people's life even more expensive but doesn't actually benefit the climate at all,” she said, adding that a more useful contribution would be developing new technologies for a climate-neutral future.Wagenknecht argued that Germany's education system is failing many young people and “unregulated immigration is intensifying the problems in schools.”There has been widespread speculation that those positions could appeal to voters who might otherwise choose the nationalist, anti-migration AfD — particularly in the less prosperous east, where Wagenknecht's most recent party, the Left Party, has gradually declined over the years and AfD is at its strongest.“This niche that is opening up — stressing social justice and at same time ... positioning herself in a more migration-skeptical way — has potential,” Benjamin Hoehne, a political scientist at the University of Muenster, told ARD television. "Of course we won't make common cause with AfD," Wagenknecht said Monday. “We are launching a new party so that all the people who are now thinking about voting for AfD or who have already done so — out of anger, out of desperation, but not because they are right-wing — have a serious address.”The new party's immediate political effect is to endanger the Left Party, which only just managed to stay in the German parliament in the 2021 national election. Wagenknecht was co-leader of the party’s parliamentary group from 2015 to 2019, but long-running internal tensions have grown into a deep rift. The Left Party’s leadership backs a generous approach to migrants and strong action against climate change.She left the party on Monday along with Amira Mohamed Ali, the co-leader of its parliamentary group and now the chair of Wagenknecht's alliance, and eight other lawmakers.。

A criminal case involving information leaks related to miHoYo, the developer of Genshin Impact, has reached its first-instance verdict. Two Bilibili (Chinese video-sharing platform) users were found guilty of copyright infringement and were sentenced to one year and two months and one year in prison, respectively, both with probation. It is the first criminal game leak case under a new judicial interpretation issued by China's top judicial authorities, according to miHoYo.
The infringing videos uploaded by Su and Wu received more than 600,000 and 300,000 views, respectively, exceeding the criminal prosecution thresholds stipulated under the judicial interpretation. The court therefore found that the two individuals met the criteria for criminal prosecution and handed down guilty verdicts.
During routine monitoring, in July 2025, miHoYo discovered that Su and Wu had repeatedly uploaded gameplay videos featuring unreleased versions of miHoYo titles, including Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero, without any authorization from the company. The videos, widely circulated within gaming communities, exposed unreleased characters, skill animations and other content that had not yet been officially introduced to players,  miHoYo noted.
After discovering the alleged violations, miHoYo reported the case to the police in accordance with legal procedures. Following an investigation, the police arrested the two individuals involved. 
The case was publicly heard and the verdict was delivered on April 24, 2026. The court ruled that Su was to be sentenced to one year and two months in prison with probation, while Wu was sentenced to one year of detention with probation, according to miHoYo.
Guo Hao, a Beijing-based lawyer, told the Global Times on Thursday that a key significance of the case lies in its further clarification of how game leak cases can be assessed under the Criminal Law.
"In the past, game leaks were more often handled through civil infringement claims or breach-of-contract disputes. In this case, however, the court did not simply determine liability based on whether content was released ahead of schedule," Guo said. "Instead, it considered factors including the scale of dissemination, the nature of the leaked content and the impact caused, and determined that the conduct met the prosecution threshold for the crime of copyright infringement."
Similar game leak incidents have also occurred overseas in recent years. In October 2024, The Pokemon Company suffered a data breach that resulted in large amounts of internal information being leaked online, including employees' personal information, according to overseas media reports. Dubbed the "Teraleak" by the gaming community, the incident was reportedly one of the largest game-related leaks in recent years. The leaked materials reportedly included game source codes, details of future projects and other internal information, according to Nintendo Life, a UK-based gaming news outlet.
Earlier, Nintendo had pursued legal action over the leak of a Pokemon Sword and Shield strategy guide in 2019. According to gaming website Polygon, The Pokémon Company later reached a settlement with the two individuals responsible, who were required to pay $150,000 each in damages.
"From a player's perspective, there is a clear difference between game leaks and normal game discussions," Lu, a member from the Steam gaming community, told the Global Times on Thursday. "Players discussing and analyzing officially released information is part of gaming culture, but obtaining and spreading unreleased content through unauthorized channels can harm the efforts of developers and affect the experience of the entire player community."
Such concerns are also shared by game developers, who view unreleased content as a key part of their creative and commercial plans.
A post by miHoYo on its online account specifies that every unreleased frame of game content represents the design and refinement efforts of its creative teams, while also carrying players' expectations for upcoming updates. Unauthorized early exposure of such content not only infringes upon miHoYo's copyright interests, but also takes away the surprise that players should have when experiencing new content for the first time.
