PFLP campaigns to enter Bundestag, reports JPost

GAZA CITY - 28 August 2017: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine seeks to enter the German Bundestag in the September 24 federal election, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday.

“It should not have been allowed to come to this that an anti-Israel terror organization in Germany formed an election alliance and is an election choice,” said Volker Beck, a Green Party MP.

Beck, who is chairman of the German-Israel parliamentary group in the Bundestag, said, “the federal Interior Ministry must quickly act and ban the PFLP.”

The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) joined forces with the PFLP to be on the election ballot. Germany’s most recent federal intelligence report, from 2016, listed the MLPD as a “leftist extremist party” that has been “unsuccessful in elections.”

The MLPD has 1,800 members and supporters, the intelligence report noted.
