Retreat: Overwhelmed by Governing | THE TIME

Basically, Kai Wegner’s time as Governing Mayor of Berlin one thing above all: consistent. What began as an accident three years ago will end as an accident this Friday. Both the beginning and the end were – in typical Berlin style – stories of violence – and an incompetence that leaves you speechless.

Review: In autumn 2021, the Berlin administration failed to hold a constitutional election for the House of Representatives. Shortly before the new election, young people celebrate New Year’s Eve in a Neukölln neighborhood and set a coach on fire. The CDU clearly wins the following law-and-order election campaign, Wegner becomes governing mayor.
