Government formation in Berlin: SPD leadership to the Left: No anti-Semitism with us
The Left in Berlin wants to govern alongside the Greens and the Social Democrats. The SPD's federal leadership is now making it clear: antisemitism has no place in its policy.
The SPD leadership has emphasized that it will not tolerate antisemitism in its policy, following recent incidents involving the Left party. In an Instagram post, SPD leaders Lars Klingbeil, Bärbel Bas, and Tim Klüssendorf stated that antisemitic slogans have no place in society or politics. The Left party, which is seeking a coalition with the Greens and SPD in Berlin, has faced criticism for its positions on the Middle East conflict and antisemitism.
The party's leadership, including Elif Eralp, has stated its support for protecting Jewish life, while a Left party MP, Ferat Koçak, has stepped back from public duties after being criticized for contacts with a person from a clan milieu.
