Font size

Der Zentralrat der Juden hat dem Berliner Landesverband der Linkspartei ein „tiefes strukturelles Problem mit dem Demokratieverständnis“ vorgeworfen. Dass auf einer Wahlparty der Berliner Linken nach der Abgeordnetenhauswahl „kriminelle Clan-Größen und Terror-Unterstützer geduldet“ worden seien, sei „kein Versehen“, erklärte Zentralratspräsident Josef Schuster am Dienstag. Der Vorfall offenbare vielmehr „ein tiefes strukturelles Problem mit dem Demokratieverständnis in der Partei“.

Die Linkspartei mit Spitzenkandidatin Elif Eralp hatte die Wahlen zum Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus am Sonntag klar gewonnen. Noch am Wahlabend wurde bekannt, dass der berüchtigte Clanchef Issa Remmo bei der Wahlparty des Linken-Bezirksverbands in Neukölln auftauchte. Ebenso anwesend war Ibrahim Ibrahim, ein propalästinensischer Aktivist und Unterstützer der Terrororganisation Volksfront zur Befreiung Palästinas (PFLP). Ibrahims „Vereinigtes Palästinensisches Nationalkomitee“ gilt dem Berliner Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz gar als Vernetzungsplattform von Hamas und PFLP in Deutschland.

Gegen Teile der Berliner Linken gab es immer wieder Antisemitismusvorwürfe. Nun wurden auch Verbindungen zum Milieu der Organisierten Kriminalität Thema. Der Linken-Bundestagsabgeordnete Ferat Koçak gestand Kontakte zum Sohn von Issa Remmo ein. Er lässt nach Angaben der Fraktionsspitze seine Parlamentsfunktionen vorerst ruhen – „bis volle Transparenz hergestellt ist“. Mitgliedern des Remmo-Clans werden zahlreiche Straftaten vorgeworfen, etwa eine Beteiligung am Diebstahl einer 100 Kilo schweren Goldmünze aus dem Berliner Bode-Museum und der Einbruch in das Grüne Gewölbe in Dresden.

„Systematisches Muster“

Die Geschehnisse in Neukölln zeigten ein „systematisches Muster auf, bei dem Antisemitismus in Teilen der Linken verharmlost und als vermeintlicher politischer Aktivismus getarnt“ werde, erklärte Zentralratspräsident Schuster. Bisherige Aktionspläne der Parteispitze entlarvten sich „als reine Lippenbekenntnisse und nachträgliche Distanzierungen als völlig unglaubwürdig“.

Open Questions

  • Welche weiteren Konsequenzen zieht die Parteispitze?
  • Wie reagiert der Landesverband auf die Vorwürfe?

Both warn against the financing of anti-Semitic and left-wing extremist politics with federal funds and cite specific incidents at left-wing election parties in Berlin-Neukölln as justification.

The Greens achieve success in state elections, but show weaknesses in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The Greens achieved partial success in the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin, but with mixed results: While they entered the state parliaments in Magdeburg and Schwerin and are aiming for government participation in Berlin, internal conflicts are emerging, particularly around the Berlin election campaign with Werner Graf and Bettina Jarasch, which fell short of expectations. The party faces challenges including loss of young voters to the left and difficulties in coalition building.

Coalition talks between the Left, the Greens and the SPD fail due to allegations of anti-Semitism

Exploratory talks between the Left, the Greens and the SPD to form a coalition in Berlin fail due to allegations of anti-Semitism against left-wing members. At the same time, DGINA reports overcrowding in almost every second emergency room in Germany, and new documents raise questions about the death of Geli Raubal, Hitler's niece, by questioning her previous alibi.
