  • On Sunday, Giffey said cooperation was unacceptable because of radical Left positions in the antisemitism debate.

  • In preliminary talks, the Left, Greens and SPD agreed to protect Jewish life and reject every form of antisemitism.

  • The following day, according to Giffey, 120 Left politicians publicly opposed the agreement.

  • SPD state leader Steffen Krach, by contrast, said all parliamentary-group members must uphold the agreement.
  • That in Left party chats there is talk that the party with the antisemitism agreement is 'obviously bowing to fascists', 'already in the pre-negotiations behaving like a lapdog', and labeling the document as 'a failure' and 'absolutely ludicrous' reveals a radicalism that has nothing to do with responsible governance in the German capital.
