CDU's Kurt Wansner Uses Bus Stop Posters to Campaign Against Berlin Car-Free Initiative

In Berlin-Kreuzberg, CDU politician Kurt Wansner, 78, has been plastering bus stops with posters reading "Nein! zu 'Berlin autofrei'" as part of a campaign against the "Berlin autofrei" referendum. The posters, placed next to the green bus stop sign, include a link to the website verbieten-verboten.de. The initiative aims to gather signatures until February 8, 2025. Wansner, a lifelong Kreuzberg resident, is depicted in suit and tie, aggressively opposing the car-free proposal. The campaign is seen as a culture war over automobile use in the city.
