Berlin Left Party approves coalition talks with SPD and Greens
The Berlin Left Party has voted to begin formal coalition negotiations with the SPD and the Greens, aiming to form a red-green-red government. The decision follows the party's performance in the September 20 election, where it emerged as the strongest force with 25.7 percent of the vote.
Negotiations are scheduled to commence this Monday. A central component of the proposed coalition, outlined in a joint exploratory paper, is the socialization of approximately 160,000 apartments from five major real estate corporations to address housing affordability.
Left Party leader Elif Eralp, who seeks to become the party's first Governing Mayor of Berlin, addressed the party congress amidst significant controversy. Eralp reported facing an “attack wave” of hate and insults, following a report by Der Spiegel regarding her personal safety concerns. While the Berlin LKA stated there was no evidence of a concrete threat, Eralp has utilized police protection during recent public appearances.
