  "account": "Elif Eralp, the left-wing election winner in Berlin, has defended herself against criticism after her private comments about her family's safety were made public. She said that threats against her have increased since the election and that she takes advice from security authorities seriously. Eralp had given an interview to Der Spiegel, and her written remarks, which expressed concerns about her family's safety if she publicly criticizes a known Palestine activist, were inadvertently shared. The activist in question is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is classified as a terrorist organization in the EU and US. Eralp stated that she will not be intimidated and is committed to working for a better Berlin.",
  "summary": "With written notes on an interview, the Berlin left-wing frontwoman caused a stir. Now she herself is taking a stance - and attributes her actions to the advice of the security authorities.",
