Eklat in the Neukölln district parliament: Berlin politicians cause a stir with a Palestinian cloth

according to a report by www.bz-berlin.de Neukölln for a sensation when they performed with a Palestinian cloth at the lectern. The two politicians, faction leader Carla Aßmann and prescribed Georg Frankl, demonstratively wore the cloth. This triggered outrage in other parties, especially at the CDU, who condemned to wear the towels in a negative political context, especially in terms of Hamas. The left faction did not respond to inquiries from the rapporteurs.

in Berlin, especially in the multicultural district of Neukölln, the political appearance of party members reflects the changing political landscape. The appearance of politicians with Palestinian towels can lead to further polarization in a strongly diversified and deeply split society. The topic of Israel and Palestine is particularly sensitive because the city has a strong Jewish community and a growing Palestinian population. This could lead to unrest or further political tensions in the region. The policy of the left in Berlin is of greater importance and its actions in the district council meetings could potentially have an impact on the political landscape of the city.
