In a recent statement on social media, Wegner criticized the Left Party’s approach to the housing crisis, asserting that expropriations would exacerbate existing problems. He emphasized the need for effective tenant protections and the construction of new housing units, citing measures like the rent cap and a rent price inspection office. Meanwhile, Left Party candidate Elif Eralp announced plans to confront real estate corporations and implement a rent cap for municipal housing, as well as to pursue a referendum for the socialization of large housing companies, invoking Article 15 of the German Constitution.
