Report: A leftwing victory in Berlin shows people want freedom, and liberals cannot deliver it | Eva von Redecker

The Guardian — Opinion has reported on “Report: A leftwing victory in Berlin shows people want freedom, and liberals cannot deliver it | Eva von Redecker,” presenting it as the central development in the source material available for this brief.

Die Linke’s surge was propelled by a compelling promise: for voters to have the freedom to stay in their city. The report also notes that This is how to fight back against the far right The German leftwing party Die Linke won the state elections in Berlin on 20 September. It’s unclear whether the party is expected to be able to form a coalition, appoint its lead candidate Elif Eralp as mayor , and follow through on her core campaign promise: to socialise the housing stock of the city’s largest real-estate companies. A barrage of accusations started to circulate immediately following the results came in. Even by the standards of present-day polarisation, the pitch was extreme. On the basis of one leaked chat and one rapper’s performance , the party was described as schmoozing with criminal clans and endangering the lives of Berlin Jews . Accusations of antisemitism prompted the Greens and the SPD – potential coalition partners – to question any potential cooperation, while “alt-right” opinion-makers suggested that “Hamas and Hezbollah” had won the elections , or that the German Democratic Republic (the old East Germany) was about to come back. Alice Weidel of the rightwing AfD alleged that Die Linke intended to “shoot the rich”.
