The government faces backlash from the Left Party over a proposed ban on expropriating large housing corporations.

The Left Party has sharply criticized the government’s planned ban on expropriating large housing corporations, claiming it prioritizes corporate profits over constitutional rights. Party leader Heidi Reichinnek stated that the government’s actions protect landlords while disregarding the needs of the public.

In response, Berlin’s Left Party candidate Elif Eralp vowed to oppose the ban, emphasizing the need for more affordable housing. She highlighted that the party will continue to prioritize housing issues in their campaign, advocating for measures like rent caps and the expropriation of large housing stocks.
