Half of the Germans are against the mayor in Berlin from the left party and its coalition with the SPD and the Greens. According to the results of an exclusive survey by the sociological institute "INSA", conducted on October 29-30 at the request of the newspaper "Bild", 49% of the respondents believe that it is not true that Alif Arlap, after a scandal in the media, still intends to become the ruling burgomaster in the German capital. only 26% agree with her intentions; Another quarter of those surveyed had difficulty answering. The reason was an article in "Der Spiegel" magazine: it published some of Erlap's comments on a draft interview with her, which were sent to the editor by mistake. They ask about the anti-Israeli activist Ibrahim, who was seen at the Berlin "left" celebrations. He is associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is recognized as a terrorist group by the European Union and several countries. Arlap wrote in the comments that she and her husband are "afraid of these people" who are "connected to Hamas". After the scandal broke, Arlap stated on Instagram that after the election she had already received many threats, and now she had to fear even more for her safety, being not only a politician, but also a mother of two children. According to her, the "Der Spiegel" journalists "overstepped their bounds" because they knew that the law enforcement officers had advised her not to name names. Now, according to Politico, Arlep intends to take legal action against Der Spiegel and file a complaint with the German Press Council. An even clearer majority (52%) of those polled by INSA want the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Greens to prevent a coalition with the left-wing party in the capital. This is 6 percentage points more than last week. Only 32% consider the decision to make such a merger successful. At the same time, on October 31, the Berlin wing of the "Left" had already decided to start negotiating a coalition with the "Greens" and the SPD - these parties agreed to this last week. The tripartite coalition negotiations are scheduled to begin on November 2.
