Problema locuințelor a adus Partidului Stângii o victorie majoră la Berlin. Promisiunile sunt radicale – și populare

Elif Eralp, leader of Die Linke, won Berlin elections with a promise to nationalize 220,000 rental units from large real estate firms. The party secured 25.5% of the vote, potentially forming a coalition with the Greens and SPD. Eralp's campaign focused on housing issues, aiming to combat rising rents and make housing affordable again. The proposal for expropriation has broad support, with nearly 60% of voters favoring it in a 2021 referendum. However, legal challenges and opposition from right-wing parties complicate the implementation of this plan. The Left Party, historically linked to East Germany's communist past, faces internal divisions over foreign policy and recent events in Israel.
