  "account": "German Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer has warned against a coalition between the SPD, Greens, and Left Party in Berlin, saying it would betray the democratic consensus on remembrance policy. Weimer believes the Left Party opens the door to anti-Semitism and undermines efforts to address the injustices of the former East German regime. The Young Union has called for the exclusion of a potential Left-Green-SPD government in Berlin from certain security information and for a federal committee to document any potential wrongdoing. The Young Union, with around 90,000 members, views the Left Party as left-extremist and accusing it of anti-Semitic tendencies.",
