Coalition Talks Begin in Berlin: Plans for the Expropriation of Large Private Housing Companies

In Berlin, the Left Party, Greens, and Social Democratic Party (SPD) have successfully completed exploratory talks within four weeks following the state assembly elections. The three parties have prepared a 30-page exploratory document that includes a plan for the expropriation of large private housing companies. Coalition talks are expected to commence pending approval from party bodies. Additionally, large-scale construction commitments for new housing projects are also on the agenda.
