Scholz backs Berlin Mayor Franziska Giffey during election campaign in German capital

Berlin (Germany), Feb 6 (EFE/EPA) - (Camera: Clemens Bilan) The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, on Monday embraced the mayor of Berlin, the also Social Democrat Franziska Giffey, who next Sunday will seek victory in a regional election resulting from the annulment of the elections held in 2021 in chaotic circumstances.

Everything in these elections in the city-state and German capital is quite atypical, since the new call to the polls of the 2.4 million voters of Berlin went through several judicial instances until reaching the Constitutional Court, which gave the green light to its celebration last January 31.
