Eralp Wants to Take Legal Action Against "Spiegel" and File a Complaint with the Press Council
The leak intensified coalition tensions in Berlin as Die Linke’s lead candidate said she feared naming activists linked to Hamas.
- On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Der Spiegel published internal comments from Die Linke lead candidate Elif Eralp, revealing that she and her husband fear individuals with links to Hamas.
- The admission surfaced after Eralp's office accidentally returned an internal document to journalists during an interview, following Die Linke's 25.7 per cent result in the September 20 Berlin election.
- Citing past advice from the State Criminal Police Office , Eralp wrote she cannot "endanger myself and my family," confirming her fears involve people with connections to Hamas, specifically activist Ibrahim.
- Christian Democratic Union leader Stefan Evers stated the revelations reinforced "the great concern" regarding a Die Linke-led government, while 20 SPD lawmakers oppose forming a coalition.
- A Die Linke state party conference is scheduled for October 31 to decide on the coalition path, following the October 19 vote by the SPD and Greens to open formal negotiations.

Leading Berlin Mayoral Candidate Terrified of Hamas-Linked Muslims in Her Own Party: Leaked Notes Expose Her Fears for Her Family’s Safety
This is how the left deals with the jihadis in its own ranks. Rather than confront them, party leaders shield them, enabling their rise and allowing their influence to spread. They recognize the threat, fear it themselves, yet fail to warn the very people they seek to govern. Instead of exposing the danger and standing up for their constituents, they retreat into silence and concealment. Just like the Democrats here in America.
