radioeins Commentators Talk Discusses Berlin Election Outcome and Coalition Prospects

Sebastian Puschner of the weekly newspaper Der Freitag will discuss the question "Berlin hat gewählt – und jetzt?" (Berlin has voted – and now what?) at the radioeins Kommentatoren Talk im Tipi am Kanzleramt on Monday from 19:00, alongside other journalists, moderated by Marco Seiffer. The talk can be followed live. Die Linke is the clear election winner in Berlin, and a coalition with the Greens and the SPD would command a comfortable majority in the Abgeordnetenhaus. However, it is far from certain that Elif Eralp will become Governing Mayor. How to handle the referendum on the socialization of housing stock held by large private real estate corporations, which succeeded five years ago, could become a point of contention. In addition, the Greens, Social Democrats and CDU are raising antisemitism accusations toward Die Linke. A coalition of precisely these three parties is also possible in Berlin. Further details are available in the current issue of Der Freitag.
