The Berlin leader of the radical left party Die Linke admits in a confidential note that she is "afraid" of militants close to her party

Die Linke, a radical left party in Berlin, is facing renewed controversy as it negotiates to form a government after leading the municipal elections. Elif Eralp, the party's candidate for mayor, is under scrutiny due to leaked internal comments expressing her fears about certain party members. This situation has intensified criticism from political opponents who equate Die Linke with far-right extremism. The party's attempts to address accusations of antisemitism and alleged criminal ties have been ongoing, complicating its efforts to establish a governing coalition with the SPD and Greens.
