- Pantisano seeks a government with the SPD and Greens, provided they support the proposed expropriation of housing companies.
- Issa Remmo appeared at the election party; Eralp said he had not been invited and was sent out.
- An anonymous party insider said the internal opposition could be outvoted at next week’s special party conference.

- After Berlin’s Left won the election on September 20, Hagel offered Berlin police officers a move to Baden-Württemberg.
- He also called lead candidate Elif Eralp a left-wing clan mayor and linked her to criminal clans.
- The Left argued this breached Hagel’s neutrality obligations and unsuccessfully sought an injunction against the statements.
- The decision can be challenged within two weeks of notification before Baden-Württemberg’s Administrative Court.
In weighing the overall circumstances of the individual case, these are not official statements that are subject to the obligation of objectivity and neutrality.— Administrative Court of Stuttgart (ruling in the Hagel case)
