Press release from Berlin Insoumise
Berlin, 19th November 2025
On Tuesday, 18th November 2025, we organised a thematic meeting in Berlin on the situation in Gaza with Emma Fourreau, LFI MEP, Adrien, Leslie and Mahé, activists with the Gaza flotillas, and Anissa Eprinchard from the media outlet homoswipiens, to discuss Palestine, the Gaza flotillas and the repression of solidarity movements with the Palestinian people, particularly in Germany. The Tagungszentrum am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz der VULKAN Gesellschaft für Grundbesitz mbH, more than 80% owned by Die Linke, cancelled our event at noon on the day itself via its director Matthias Höhn, a former MP and member of the party. The reasons given were that we had not announced the subject of our conference in advance and that counter-demonstrations were planned in front of the Karl-Liebknecht-Haus. Last August, when Philippe Poutou, former presidential candidate, visited, we also did not announce the subject of our event in advance, without this posing any problem. Furthermore, no gathering was registered with the Berlin police in front of the Karl-Liebknecht-Haus on 18th November, and no gathering or police presence was observed on site. This last-minute cancellation is part of a broader context of repression of voices speaking out against genocide, at a time when serious violations of the ceasefire by the Israeli army are being documented. This decision is being contested within the party: Ferat Koçak (Die Linke Neukölln member of the Bundestag), members of Linksjugend ['solid] and several activists within the party have expressed their disapproval of the cancellation of our event. Ferat supports Berlin Insoumise: ‘It is serious that our sister party La France Insoumise, and in particular MEP Emma Fourreau, has been refused the use of our premises. We need spaces to discuss Palestine.’ These activists helped us find an alternative solution. Thanks to the extraordinary solidarity that exists within activist networks in Berlin, we managed to find a venue at short notice and our event was able to go ahead without a hitch. This international solidarity between activists has once again proven its importance. And we would like to thank once again all those who helped us! The comrades at Berlin Insoumise
