From Hildburg Bruns
SHE is still the best-known Berlin politician. But on a scale from 0 (= very bad) to 100 (= very good), according to an INSA survey for BILD, the soon-to-be ruler Kai Wegner (50, CDU) scores more than the incumbent town hall boss Franziska Giffey (44, SPD).
Of the twelve leaders of the Berlin parties and parliamentary groups, the clear bottom is the ex-top candidate of the Greens – Bettina Jarasch (54), a good two weeks senator for transport, then opposition leader. She is well known, her rating is bad and even worse than the AfD leader’s score.
