German Left MP Koçak resigns from Interior Committee amid clan ties allegations

Ferat Koçak, a Bundestag member for Die Linke, announced he will fully relinquish his seat on the Interior Committee following a debate over alleged links to criminal clan members. The move is a political concession to pressure, though the underlying allegations remain unverified. It signals internal party vulnerability and potential reputational fallout for Die Linke ahead of elections.
