After the Berlin election: Berlin: Party meeting on anti-Semitism without result

The leaders of Berlin's Left, Green, and SPD parties, Kerstin Wolter, Nina Stahr, and Bettina König, held a five-hour confidential meeting to discuss antisemitism and organized crime. They described the talks as "constructive" and agreed to continue discussions, but revealed no details or timeline for further talks. The meeting was the first three-way discussion since the Berlin election and aimed to establish a common stance on contentious issues.

The talks are a prerequisite for starting coalition negotiations, with concerns raised over recent incidents involving the Left party, including a meeting with a criminal clan leader and a pro-Palestinian activist at a party election gathering on September 20.
