Whoever wrote this does not know anything about berlins policymakers…
I thought they used the metric system? Everything is so Americanized now they just refer to things in multiples of Manhattans?
In fact we use Saarland as the official measuring unit. One Saarland is ≈ 43 Manhattans. Or, to be more precise, one Manhattan is 23 Millisaarlands.
The CDU and SPD see cars as sacrosanct, and Germans living in the outskirts are not only world-class car brains but are literally the source of the car problem for central Berlin while not suffering from 90% of the consequences.
If everyone in the city got a vote I would say there was a chance, but since it’s going to be the Germans only, I don’t see it happening.
All EU citizens can vote in local ballot measures.Edit: but not for Berlin, Bremen or Hamburg. Womp womp
The problem is that Berlin is a Land, so it doesn’t count as “local” for elections. For the same reason EU-citizens can’t vote for the Abgeordnetenhaus (city assembly) of Berlin, only for the Bezirke.
