Morning Briefing Plus: Wenn das Private öffentlich werden darf
Die Linken-Politikerin Elif Eralp offenbart in internen Bemerkungen Angst, einen Terrorsympathisanten namentlich zu benennen. Die Frage nach ihrer Regierungsfähigkeit ist berechtigt.
Dear readers, in recent days I have pondered how the Handelsblatt would have handled the internal remarks from the left-wing frontrunner Elif Eralp, had they arrived in our offices instead of the Spiegel. Eralp, who aspires to become the elected mayor of Berlin, had given the Spiegel an interview that she usually presents for authorization.
However, her party not only returned the authorized version but also accidentally sent out her personal comments, those of her spokesperson, and the state chairperson's remarks that were not intended for public consumption. Eralp stated in the leaked document that she does not want to speak explicitly about the extremist Ibrahim Ibrahim, as she fears risks for herself and her family.
The Spiegel had specifically questioned the politician about the extremist, his contacts within the party, and his appearance at their party. I am confident that after thorough deliberation, we, like the Spiegel's colleagues, would have reached the same conclusion and published these remarks.
