CDU Berlin official rejects coalition with Left over Red Aid ties

CDU interior policy spokesman Burkard Dregger stated that alleged membership of Elif Eralp in the Red Aid is a 'knockout criterion' for coalition talks with Berlin's Left party. This signals a hardening of CDU's position ahead of potential government formation, potentially complicating coalition negotiations. The claim about Eralp's membership is unverified and may be politically motivated.
