Things are going brilliantly. For the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance in Brandenburg. And therefore also for him: Robert Crumbach, 61 years old, state chairman and top candidate of the BSW, labor judge, ex-Social Democrat, former conscientious objector. And largely unknown. Crumbach appears at the meeting in a restaurant in Potsdam, where he has lived for decades, in casual clothing. Flowered Hawaiian shirt, motorcycle helmet next to him. His election goal? “A nice double-digit result,” Crumbach answers relaxedly. “I won’t cry if it’s 14 or 15 percent. That’s not quite so important.”
