Politics - SPD MP Diaby retires from politics
The Halle SPD Bundestag representative Karamba Diaby will not run again in the next Bundestag election. "After months of consideration and weighing, I – in consultation with my family – have come to the decision not to run for the Bundestag again," Diaby wrote in a party internal letter, which was available to the German Press Agency. This was previously reported by the "Mitteldeutsche Zeitung."
His decision has no political reasons. "I look back on eleven enriching and successful years in federal politics." After three legislative periods, it is time to go new ways and make room for the next political generation. Diaby intends to exercise his mandate until the end of the legislative period. "Of course, I will remain active and engaged in the SPD," the Bundestag representative added further.
Diaby is from Senegal and has been repeatedly subjected to racist attacks in recent years. In addition to death threats and insults, attempts have been made on his office several times.
