Berlin CDU calls for surveillance of Die Linke over Islamist ties

Berlin CDU domestic policy spokesman Burkard Dregger endorses placing Die Linke under observation by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, citing alleged uninhibited connections to Islamist and Islamist-terrorist scenes. The claim is an assertion by a political figure, not yet corroborated by official action. This escalates domestic political rhetoric in Germany ahead of potential federal elections.
