Berlin: This is what Red-Green-Red is planning for the capital

The parties of the Left, Greens, and SPD have agreed on a paper to explore potential coalition in Berlin, four weeks after the state elections. They plan to introduce measures such as rent controls, including capping annual rent increases at 2% for 440,000 municipal apartments and introducing a "rent supervisory body". The parties also aim to build 100,000 affordable apartments by 2031 and increase green spaces and climate adaptation measures.

Additionally, they plan to improve public transportation, make the public transportation social ticket cheaper, and introduce measures to tackle discrimination and mobbing in schools.
