Leftists in Berlin are getting closer to taking over the government

The Left party in Berlin is moving closer to forming a government with the Greens and SPD after a successful party congress. Elif Eralp is positioned to become the city's mayor, focusing on the controversial issue of expropriating large property companies to address housing shortages. However, concerns about antisemitism within the party have raised doubts among potential coalition partners. Eralp has publicly distanced herself from antisemitism and emphasized her commitment to protecting Jewish life. Despite facing personal threats and media scrutiny, she remains determined to lead and address the city's challenges.
