Neukölln party guests Clan claims prompt debate

Sep 20

Weltwoche relays media reports that Issa Remmo and two activists from the Palestinian Barbakh family were present at Die Linke’s election party in Neukölln. It says some family members are considered security-relevant and some reportedly appeared with Hamas symbols at Gaza demonstrations. The reported attendance renews debate about possible party contacts with clan and extremist circles. Köppel criticizes Die Linke for, in his view, prioritizing solidarity with migrant communities over Germans harmed by criminal activity, and interprets this as a question of loyalty. The attendance, security and demonstration claims remain attributed reports; the commentary does not establish a criminal partnership or guilt of the guests.
