RS #15 2013: Election posters and the Pirate Party

RS #15 2013: Election posters and the Pirate Party

It's election time, and Berlin's streets are full of political posters. We visit a meeting of the Pirate Party to learn more about who they are and what they stand for. If you're interested, head along to their weekly English-language meetup at a bar in Neukölln. Police have been conducting raids on Görlitzer Park. One organization, Reach Out Berlin, is protesting against the racial nature of the crackdown. You've probably noticed the increase in U-Bahn tickets, but get ready for a 30% increase in haircut costs as hairdressers enjoy a new minimum wage of 6.50 EUR an hour. In a new segment, city planning enthusiast Jöran Mandik takes us on an architectural tour of the Akazienhof, a colorful World Heritage Listed development on the south-east edge of Berlin.
