Criza locuințelor și ascensiunea extremei drepte marchează alegerile regionale de la Berlin

The upcoming elections in Berlin could see the Left Party, led by Elif Eralp, potentially take control for the first time, amid tight competition with conservatives and the far-right AfD. Voter mobilization is expected due to concerns over housing shortages and the recent rise of the far-right. Berlin's housing crisis, exacerbated by a growing population and rising rents, has become a central issue for the Left Party, which aims to nationalize large housing companies. Despite the city's multicultural nature, the AfD is projected to gain significant support, particularly in areas with fewer immigrants. The political landscape reflects deep divisions, with many voters expressing dissatisfaction with current governance and prioritizing issues like housing over immigration.
