Interview: “Several banks say they are not granting loans for investment projects in Berlin at the moment”

Berlin. Ms. Giffey, are you also afraid for your safety like Elif Eralp?

I'm generally not an anxious person, otherwise I wouldn't be here anymore. But I take the threat seriously. I can understand what Elif Eralp said out of deep emotion. But her party campaigned with positions that also got caught up in the milieu of those from whom it now feels threatened. Some campaigned for the left. Now people keep saying that they have nothing to do with each other. That's not true.

Members of the Remmo family and others associated with it say publicly: Yes, we know each other. So there has been support and it is safe to assume that access and influence is now expected. Things can slip away because there are people on board who don't support the free-democratic basic order. They cannot now get rid of the spirits that parts of the left called.
