GCA #47: Berlin jetzt linksextrem
Summary
In Folge 47 analysieren Gilda Sahibi und Arne Semsrott die Landtagswahlen in Berlin und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Zudem diskutieren sie die Auswirkungen der 5-Prozent-Hürde, die Ignorierung des Berliner Volksentscheids zur Wohnungseigentumsvergesellschaftung und die politische Instrumentalisierung des Antisemitismus-Themas bei der Koalitionsfindung.
