Berlin, October 31, 2026
More than 100 Left-wing politicians in Berlin have signed a statement supporting Elif Eralp and the Berlin state branch.
The statement was signed by prominent party figures, state-level politicians, and representatives of various Left-wing factions. A broad section of the party is thereby standing behind Eralp and the Berlin state branch.
Internal notes drew a connection to an interview. Among other things, it stated that she and her husband were “afraid of these people”. The significance of this wording for the political debate is not further explained in the available facts.
Support from within the party
The supporters from the Left are thus acting during a phase in which the political direction of the Berlin state branch and its leadership is to be clarified. According to the available information, the statement is therefore a clear signal of intraparty solidarity.
