Neukölln, the Berlin District Where the Left Broke Through
In the September 2024 Berlin state election, the socialist party Die Linke achieved a significant breakthrough in Neukölln and other urban districts by campaigning on housing and social justice issues, doubling its vote share to 25.7%. This success reflects sustained grassroots activism, growing membership, and strong ties to local communities, especially amid rising opposition to the far-right AfD and ongoing social struggles in Berlin.
