Elif Eralp: ‘Germany’s Zohran Mamdani’ who vows to be a mayor for all Berliners

Elif Eralp's far-left Die Linke party won more than a quarter of the vote in Berlin's city state election, putting her on the verge of becoming the capital's first mayor of Turkish origin. Campaigning on affordable housing and pledging to take on corporate landlords, Eralp has drawn comparisons to New York's Zohran Mamdani and prompted Chancellor Friedrich Merz to vow to block her plans to expropriate more than 200,000 flats.
