Nach der Berlin-Wahl: Berlin: Parteien-Treffen zu Antisemitismus ohne Ergebnis

Nach der Berlin-Wahl: Berlin: Parteien-Treffen zu Antisemitismus ohne Ergebnis

Following the Berlin election, the Left, Green, and Social Democratic parties in Berlin convened a meeting to address antisemitism and organized crime without achieving any results. After a roughly five-hour "confidential pre-meeting," representatives from the three parties stated their intention to continue the discussions. However, they declined to provide details, including when the next conversation would take place.

At press statements, all three only referred to a "constructive" exchange, emphasizing the need for confidentiality. The first tripartite meeting occurred in the aftermath of the Berlin election, held one and a half weeks prior. The purpose of this format is to reach binding agreements on the recently contentious issue of antisemitism, as well as dealing with racism and organized crime.

This understanding is deemed essential for launching inquiry discussions. The background includes several incidents at the Left party, which gained victory, causing concern among potential coalition partners. One such incident involved a Neukölln Left party event on September 20th, where a leader of an Arab-origin and partially criminal clan, as well as a controversial pro-Palestinian activist, were present.
