Tobias Gralke, promotor del referéndum de vivienda en Alemania: “En Berlín también tenemos muchas ‘Maricármenes’”
El activista alemán, que impulsó la expropiación de viviendas en manos de grandes inmobiliarias, defiende la intervención del mercado para garantizar alquileres asequibles
Tobias Gralke, a 35-year-old promoter of the housing referendum in Germany, recently stated that "in Berlin we also have many 'Maricármenes'". Gralke, a linguist, philosopher, dramaturge, and activist, was one of the key figures behind the Deutsche Wohnen & Co. enteignen movement, which led to the 2021 referendum in Berlin. The referendum resulted in a majority of Berliners supporting the nationalization, or "socialization" in German terms, of housing owned by large real estate companies.
Gralke has since become a prominent figure in the Die Linke party, which has made housing a central focus of their political agenda. The activist has also collaborated with Inquilinas Sindicats in Spain following evictions at Maricamen.
