Issa Remmo criticizes Berlin's Left party and says he wants to start his own
Issa Remmo says he wants to start a political party after criticizing Berlin's Left party, Die Linke.
Remmo is described as the head of the Remmo family, which has often appeared in the news over criminal cases.
His anger focuses on Left Party lawmaker Ferat Koçak, who left a Bundestag interior committee post after his contacts with the family became public.
Koçak said he did not know who he had been messaging; Remmo alleges they met to discuss politics, but whether that meeting took place is unclear.
Remmo also rejects the party leadership's claim that he was asked to leave its election-night party in Berlin.
He says he had urged people to vote for Die Linke before the election, but has now ended his support.
Remmo says he will form a party if he gets a German passport, calling it “Der Weg zum Licht” and saying he wants to tackle drug dealing.
Issa Remmo has attacked Berlin’s Left party and said he wants to start his own political party.
He accused Bundestag member Ferat Koçak of lying about not knowing who Remmo was.
Remmo claimed Koçak had visited his office for more than an hour to discuss politics, socialism and expropriation; whether the meeting took place is unclear.
Remmo also denied being asked to leave the Left’s election-night party, although the party leadership said he had been removed.
He said he would call his planned party “Der Weg zum Licht” and would found it if he received a German passport.
