Government formation: Red-Green-Red in Berlin is getting closer - CDU criticism

The parties of the Left, Greens, and SPD in Berlin have agreed to start coalition negotiations after completing their exploratory talks. They plan to focus on key issues such as bringing large private housing stocks into public ownership, with private housing companies being required to sell their holdings above 10,000 units. This could affect five major companies, including Vonovia, and bring around 160,000 apartments under municipal ownership.

The parties aim to introduce a law on this issue by mid-2028, with a proposed compensation of 16 billion euros.
