After moving to Trier for study reasons, he joined the German PDS and its youth association ['solid] - the socialist youth - in 1999 . Also in 1999, Wagener was member of attac and ver.di . From 2001 to 2003 Wagener was state spokesman for ['solid] in Rhineland-Palatinate . Subsequently he held the post of Federal Spokesman for ['solid] from 2003 to 2005.
