Nach der Wahl in Berlin: CDU-Innenexperte nennt Berliner Linke „Sicherheitsrisiko“
CDU-Politiker Throm warnt vor engen Verbindungen der Berliner Linken zur organisierten Kriminalität. Er sieht Folgen für Berlin und das Land.
Following the Berlin election, CDU interior expert Alexander Throm from the Unions-Bundestagsfraktion called the Berlin Left "a genuine security risk." Throm stated that there appear to be very close ties between the Left party and organized crime in Berlin, which he deemed a "real security risk for this city, maybe even for our entire country."
He also criticized the political positions of the Berlin Left, such as demands for police budget cuts and the abolition of constitutional protection, calling them dangerous. Throm added that the goal of nearly unregulated migration to Germany, along with antisemitism and Israeli hostility, which the Left party considers "almost an activist," resulted in a "mixture" of issues.
On Sunday, the Left won the election for the city parliament with their main candidate Elif Eralp, narrowly beating the CDU. They now intend to form a coalition with Greens and SPD. Eralp and CDU finance spokeswoman Ines Schwerdtner had recently emphasized their commitment to protecting Jewish life. Throm warned that if the Left were to become Berlin's governing mayor in the future, the security authorities in Germany would "have to think very carefully about which sensitive data can even be shared in this direction with Berlin."
