  "account": "The Link Party in Berlin's Neukölln district emphasized during a recent election gathering that there were no political or personal connections with a leading clan member. Jorinde Schulz, from the Neighborhood Executive of the Neukölln Link Party, stated to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur that the individual in question was not on their registration list and had no known relationship with the party. Schulz added that the person's appearance at the event was not intentional and that the party would not alter its stance on this matter. Berlin's Chief Executive Officer Kai Wegner expressed concern on X, calling Issa Remmo's presence at the Link Party a \"disturbing signal\" and urging the party to make it clear that they have no ties to organized crime. Green Party chair Nina Stahr expressed extreme irritation over the incident, stating that the Link Party must clarify the situation and work with local actors to address it. Stahr expects the Link Party's Landesverband to speak with the individuals involved in Neukölln, both in light of this incident and the antisemitism debate of recent weeks. She emphasized that there must be clarity before a government formation can occur.",
