The former building of the publisher "New Germany" on Franz-Mehring-Platz in Friedrichshain houses several state-funded initiatives, including the "Berlin Ratschlag for Democracy" and the "Show face" initiative. Due to an event where Israel and Jewish hatred was open, these initiatives are now considering moving out. The event took place on Saturday morning a week ago when the Hamas massacre continued in Israel. Cornelia Seibeld, President of the Berlin House of Representatives, intervened in a letter to the advice and "face" and explained that she could not understand how a project office funded by public funds could continue to be based in a clearly anti -Semitic environment.

It is questionable that events can take place in a state-funded building in which Israel and Jewish hatred is spread. The congress, which took place there, glorified Hamas terror and welcomed the murders to Jewish people. This is strongly contradictory to the basic values ​​of democracy and respect for which the advice for democracy and "face show". It is true that President Seibeld has joined and moved into a clear position. It should not be tolerated that public funds are used for projects that are connected to anti -Semitic activities.

It is important that the landlord of the building, in which the party "Die Linke" is also involved, reacts appropriately to this incident. It is not enough to push responsibility to the tenants and organizers. Clear rules must be set up to ensure that such events can no longer take place in the building. There must be no space for anti -Semitism and hatred in our city.

It remains to be seen how the members of the “Berlin Ratschlag für Democracy” will react to the incident. It is important that you draw a clear position and, if necessary, draw consequences. The joint explanation that is expected this week will show whether the initiatives can remain in the building or whether an extract is necessary to protect your own values ​​and principles. It is to be hoped that such incidents will be avoided in the future and that a respectful and tolerant handling will be encouraged.
