About Ruth FIRMENICH

Ruth Firmenich represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, a left-wing party founded in 2024 by former Die Linke politician Sahra Wagenknecht that combines left-wing economic policies with more conservative positions on immigration and cultural issues. Firmenich sits with the Non-attached Members, a political group consisting of MEPs who do not belong to any of the main European political families, often representing parties with nationalist, populist, or ideologically distinct positions that do not align with established EU parliamentary groups. She demonstrates exceptional commitment to her parliamentary duties, maintaining a 98.6% attendance record compared to the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 99% of votes, casting 1,846 ballots out of 1,873 possible votes. Firmenich serves a full term in the current European Parliament session, representing German voters who supported the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance's alternative approach to European politics.
