Left-wing Party Inquires About Number of Antisemitic Offenses
Berlin. The Left-wing Party parliamentary group has submitted a minor question to the federal government regarding the number of antisemitic offenses recorded in Germany in recent years. As the party announced on Monday, the inquiry is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of antisemitic incidents and crimes since 2018.
In particular, the Left-wing Party is interested in the number of offenses broken down by type of offense and federal state. The inquiry also asks about the number of cases in which the perpetrators were identified and brought to justice.
The Left-wing Party parliamentary group justified its inquiry with the fact that antisemitism continues to be a serious problem in Germany. “The number of antisemitic offenses has increased significantly in recent years,” said Sevim Dağdelen, the party’s parliamentary group leader for foreign policy. “This is a worrying development that we must take seriously.”
Dağdelen emphasized that it is important to have a comprehensive overview of the extent of antisemitism in order to be able to develop effective countermeasures. “We need to know how many antisemitic offenses are being committed, where they are taking place, and who is committing them,” she said. “Only then can we develop targeted measures to combat antisemitism.”
The federal government is now obliged to answer the Left-wing Party’s inquiry within two weeks.
