Berlin-Wahl: Elif Eralp könnte Berlin regieren – wenn ihre Basis sie lässt
Die Spitzenkandidatin der Linkspartei hat eine realistische Chance, Regierende Bürgermeisterin zu werden. Doch ist ihre Partei überhaupt bereit, Verantwortung zu übernehmen?
Elif Eralp, a 45-year-old lawyer and the Green Party's candidate for Berlin's city council, is poised to potentially lead the city's Senate if her party base supports her. Eralp reflected on the short tenure of the only female mayor in Berlin, Franziska Giffey, who served from December 2021 to April 2023. Eralp, a member of the Link Party, aims to become the second female leader of the Berlin Senate with this election.
With two possible three-party alliances forming - Link Party, Greens and SPD or a coalition of CDU, Greens and SPD - Eralp must win over Green and SPD voters while also addressing internal conflicts within her own party. However, it remains unclear if a government led by the Link Party could function stably due to past antisemitic remarks and internal disputes. Some in the CDU wonder if a government led by the Link Party could be stable enough.
