Cum ar putea criza locuințelor și un plan controversat de expropriere să propulseze stânga radicală la putere în capitala Germaniei

Around 2.4 million eligible voters in Germany began voting for the regional parliament in Berlin, with housing issues being a key campaign topic. The CDU, led by the current mayor, is in a tight race with the radical left party Die Linke, both around 20% in polls. The left and Greens propose new housing and expropriating properties from large real estate firms to reduce rents. This could lead to the election of Elif Eralp, the first far-left mayor since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The CDU warns that such policies could worsen the housing market. Legal challenges to expropriation are anticipated, and coalition options are limited, with no party expected to gain a majority.
