Apollo News reported that the Berlin Left Party has come under the scrutiny of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution due to alleged contacts of individual politicians with extremist and criminal actors. The focus is on Elif Eralp's connections to the Red Aid and Kurdish organizations, as well as Ferat Koçak's contacts with the Remmo clan and his stance on the PKK ban. https://t.co/GKZdS9svBr #BerlinerLinkspartei #Verfassungsschutz #Extremismus (translated)
Carsten Jahn wrote that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is examining a possible connection between Eralps and the PKK. Eralps met with a delegation of Kurdish organizations in August during the election campaign. According to Jahn, members of NAV Berlin, which security authorities classify as a front organization for the banned PKK, were part of this. #Eralps #PKK #Kurden (translated)

"Ronen Steinke in the ZDF morning magazine about Elif Eralp's former membership in the Red Aid: 'This is now the category of witch hunt.' And that's exactly what it is. The Red Aid organizes legal support for politically persecuted and accused individuals. Legal representation is not a stigma, but an essential component of a constitutional state. Therefore, a much more interesting question would have been: Why did Eralp resign in 2025? What political differences were there? Instead, every biographical footnote has been scrutinized for days, as long as it can somehow be sold as a new suspicion of extremism against the Left. It is not the former membership that is the real scandal here. It is the 'witch hunt' surrounding it." #Rechtsstaat #Politik #Extremismus (translated)
„offensichtlich in der von ihr vertretenen Partei in Berlin zumindest nicht von allen, ich befürchte nicht einmal von einer großen Mehrheit, geteilt“Der AFP sagte Zentralrats-Präsident Josef Schuster (72), Eralps Aussagen gegen Antisemitismus würden „offensichtlich in der von ihr vertretenen Partei in Berlin zumindest nicht von allen, ich befürchte nicht einmal von einer großen Mehrheit, geteilt“. #Linke #Antisemitismus #Berlin
Gesetze gelten für alle – auch für eine mögliche Berliner Bürgermeisterin. Elif Eralps Forderung, hebelt das Asylrecht praktisch aus. Wer fundamentale rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien ignoriert, ist für das höchste Amt der Stadt ungeeignet. Ein schwarzer Tag für Berlin. 📉🗳️ https://t.co/D9V3NtzytP #Berlin #Rechtsstaat #Bürgermeisterin
