Two German politicians

Sahra Wagenknecht is a member of the German Parliament and Deputy Chairperson of the Left Party. She regularly criticises German capitalism and in the past was a member of the former SED party, which was the governing party of East Germany.

It is ironic that while Sahra Wagenknecht was forbidden to study at university by the SED because of her political views, Angela Merkel had no difficulty studying in the GDR.

Wagenknecht learned Faust off-by-heart.
