Eralp, the Left Party’s lead candidate for the upcoming state elections, stated that Stettner and Goiny should relinquish their mandates for submitting funding lists and exerting undue influence. The allegations follow a report from the Berlin State Audit Office deeming several million euros in funding for anti-Semitism prevention projects as unlawful. The Culture Senator has resigned, and an investigation committee is currently examining the funding affair, amidst ongoing criticism from coalition partners SPD and the Greens.
