Berlin's far-left leader vows to tackle housing crisis

Elif Eralp, whose Left Party won Berlin's state election, pledged to address unaffordable rents and plans to expropriate thousands of housing units from corporate landlords. Her potential coalition partners, the Social Democrats and Greens, demand she first tackle antisemitism accusations within local party branches. Eralp, compared to New York's Zohran Mamdani, drew strong support from young voters and former non-voters.
