Partidul care a câștigat alegerile din Berlin vrea să naționalizeze sute de mii de locuințe

Die Linke won the Berlin regional elections, nearly doubling its score and surpassing CDU. Elif Eralp, the party's candidate, pledged to implement a controversial measure to nationalize around 220,000 apartments owned by large real estate companies. The party received approximately 25.3% of the votes, while CDU came in second with about 19%. This election marks a significant shift from the previous one, where CDU was the leading political force. The housing crisis in Berlin has intensified, with rents nearly doubling since 2014. Despite the support for nationalization shown in a 2021 referendum, the implementation faces challenges, including opposition from SPD and concerns over costs. Negotiations for a coalition with SPD and the Greens are expected to be complex, especially regarding allegations of antisemitism within Die Linke.
