The Berlin Green politician Werner Graf welcomes the procedure for the withdrawal of the Linken members Vanessa Emde from the parliamentary faction. Graf told the Welt: I think it is right that the faction leadership of the Linkspartei requests the expulsion. They will ensure there is a stable government that does the best for Berliners and is not dependent on people with anti-Semitic views. They will guarantee this with the majority that they have. Currently, they are 14 votes over the absolute majority in the House of Representatives. Graf stated: We are not dependent on Vanessa Emde. The future coalition wants to stand against anti-Semitism and organized crime. I therefore state clearly: the new Senate will name names and take a clear stance against organized crime. Graf also reaffirmed the promise of protection to Jews in the capital. The Green politician said there are now six anti-Semitic incidents per day, which is more than a doubling since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. This must not be accepted, and something urgently needs to be done about it. This is compounded by the growing number of shootings. Police and security authorities must therefore be strengthened in the fight against crime. This is crucial.
