The triumph of the far-left in the German capital was sealed with an image that encapsulates the deep cultural crisis the country is going through: supporters and activists of the Left Party (Die Linke) celebrated their electoral victory in Berlin by dancing to Arab music. The political vector of this communist advance is embodied by the lead candidate of Die Linke, Elif Eralp, aged 45. Elif Eralp is a leader of Muslim faith whose political style and campaign strategy have been directly compared to that of Zohran Mamdani in New York.
Leading the rise of left-wing extremism in the capital, the candidate articulated her speech around the promise of building a "red metropolis", promoting proposals such as imposing rent caps, the expropriation of large real estate conglomerates like Deutsche Wohnen & Co, affordable public transport, and community kitchens.
The celebration to the rhythm of Arab music had its epicenter in the district of Neukölln, where the festivity turned into a serious political and institutional scandal due to the presence of organized crime. During the event, Issa Remmo, identified by the press as the head of the famous Remmo clan, the Lebanese mafia in Germany, made a personal appearance.
