Leader of the Left Party demands expropriations in Berlin as a condition for elections

The Left Party in Berlin is making the expropriation of residential companies a condition for a potential government coalition. The Greens and SPD have responded critically.

The leader of the Berlin Left Party has announced that expropriations of large housing corporations will be made a prerequisite for potential coalition negotiations. This step is intended to counteract rising rents and strengthen social housing policy.

In response to this demand, both the Greens and the SPD have warned against crossing so-called 'red lines' during negotiations. The discussion about expropriations is therefore taking a central place in the electoral campaign.
