interviews with representatives of Berlin politics
On September 20, Berlin will hold elections to the House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus). Ahead of this important event, GENAU and WIR.DE present a series of interviews with the top candidates of political parties running in the Berlin election. We reached out to all parties with a chance of entering the Berlin parliament. GENAU's editor-in-chief Dima Vachedin spoke with those who responded. The candidates answered the questions that matter most to our community: affordable housing, education, integration, and other important topics. The original interviews were published in Russian — these are the translations.
Read the interview in Russian on the GENAU website; German and English versions are available on our website.
