The 24-year-old member of Die Linke (the Left Party) in Hamburg had announced her decision via Facebook on Wednesday evening, according to German media. In the initial post, she had asked other members in a private Facebook group for "anti-German film recommendations," preferably those in which "Germans die". After the incident, Die Linke distanced itself from Rambatz. In a statement Rambatz said what she had done was a "stupid, rash action". She said she deliberately exaggerated the Facebook post, but accepts that many people may have interpreted it differently.
