- 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.— Franziska Giffey, Berlin's Economy Senator, on the Left's antisemitism agreement and related chats; quoted in the Morgenpost article
