Berlin-Moabit: Grüne gewinnen 31 Prozent der Erststimmen in migrantisch geprägtem Wahlkreis

In Berlin-Moabit, situated in the Berlin-Mitte district, the Greens secured 31 percent of the first votes in the Abgeordnetenhaus election. Historically a working-class area, Moabit has long been influenced by migrant cultures, primarily from Turkey and the conflict-ridden Arab regions of the Middle East. Sabine Kebir, an author, has lived in Moabit for 38 years with her half-Algerian family. Leading up to the election, campaign posters featured portraits of citizens with migrant backgrounds, indicating, according to Kebir, that many Germans with migration history seek to engage politically, either by voting or running for positions in Berlin’s parliaments. Following the election, a campaign emerged against the Left Party, accusing Muslims of latent anti-Semitism. This article was published in the weekly newspaper der Freitag.
