What are the immediate consequences of Jochen Brack's resignation for the BSW Hamburg and its upcoming party congress?

Jochen Brack, the face of the Sahra Wagenknecht Bündnis (BSW) in the Hamburg election, resigned from the party. His resignation follows a dispute over the party's first post-election congress, where disagreements about the congress format and financial transparency led to his earlier resignation as state chairman. He accused co-chairman Konstantin Eulenburg of failing to conduct an effective election campaign, a sentiment shared by other members.
