The decision to collaborate with left-wing extremists is an unprecedented political taboo break by the SPD and the Greens!

The CSU in the Bundestag criticized the initiation of exploratory talks between the Left, Greens, and SPD in Berlin. During preliminary discussions, it was probed how much anti-Semitism from the Left would be acceptable. As a result, there is only a lip service to the protection of Jewish life and a mechanism for expected anti-Semitic incidents that is too vaguely formulated from their perspective, wrote the CSU. They see the best protection of Jewish life in not forming a coalition with the Left. The Greens and SPD brought the Left into the Red City Hall, but this would not eliminate their anti-Semitic attitude from the party, it was explained. #Antisemitismus #Politik #Berlin (translated)

Stefan Evers wrote that the issue of antisemitism within the Left has remained unresolved after four rounds of negotiations and a three-party paper.
