Career
Wittig earned her doctorate at Greifswald and worked as a research assistant at Halle-Wittenberg. Wikipedia records her as a member of Die Linke from 2018 to 2023 and of the BSW from 2024. In March 2026 a state party conference elected her, together with Thomas Schulze, co-lead candidate for the BSW in the state election of 6 September 2026. She is a member of the BSW's federal executive committee.
Positions
Wikipedia says Wittig opposes the firewall against the AfD and backs cooperation on specific issues, while rejecting a coalition with the AfD or support for its candidate for Minister-President. ZDF quotes her as favouring Russian gas imports, joint schooling through grade six and fact-based cooperation with all factions, the AfD included.
