Berlin election: Die Linke and CDU lead in tight race

Berlin election Abgeordnetenhaus rent cap housing policy Die Linke

As the Berlin state election approaches on September 20, recent polling indicates a tight race between Die Linke and the CDU. A ZDF survey shows Die Linke leading with 23 percent, followed closely by the CDU at 21 percent. The AfD holds 17 percent, the Greens 16 percent, and the SPD 10 percent.

Housing and rent control have emerged as central campaign issues. Die Linke candidate Elif Eralp has proposed a rent cap for approximately 400,000 state-owned apartments and the creation of a 'rent profiteering task force.' The party also plans to establish 20 neighborhood canteens serving state-subsidized, plant-based meals.

In contrast, CDU candidate Stefan Evers advocates for cooperation with private housing companies like Vonovia rather than expropriation. He has proposed building housing for 50,000 people on Tempelhofer Feld and emphasizes a policy of 'law and order' regarding rental law. Evers has also called for mutual respect to serve as a unifying element for the city.
