PFLP supporter Ibrahim Ibrahim claims his outreach helped Die Linke win Berlin election

Ibrahim Ibrahim, identified as a chief supporter of the extremist group PFLP, released a statement saying his work to convey the party’s message to the Palestinian and Arab communities helped Die Linke secure a leading position in Berlin’s parliamentary election. He described a sustained dialogue on issues such as social justice, civil liberties and the Palestinian question, which he claims motivated voters. Die Linke is set to form a governing coalition with the Greens and SPD, with Elif Eralp likely to assume the mayor’s office.

Ibrahim also thanked individuals who shared information and promoted political engagement. The article notes that the party also received backing from the criminal Remmo clan, whose head Issa Remmo and son Firas maintain close ties with Bundestag member Ferat Kocak, who has previously defended clan interests in parliament. Recent citizenship drives under Mayor Kai Wegner have expanded the electorate among residents of Arab descent.
