The Berlin Left Party is facing internal turmoil following a heated debate on antisemitism.

A recent party congress ended in chaos, leading to the resignation of five prominent members, including former senators and a legal expert.

The dispute centered around a proposal addressing antisemitism, which highlighted issues of left-wing antisemitism.

The lack of consensus led to significant departures, with members expressing frustration over the party's inability to take a clear stance.

The party leadership has expressed regret over the resignations and is committed to continuing dialogue with Jewish communities and those affected by antisemitism and racism.

They have pledged to develop a comprehensive plan to address antisemitism within the party.
