Frankfurt city administration files a criminal complaint: financial expert criticizes the approach

According to a report by www.faz.net, the Frankfurt city administration initially filed a criminal complaint with the police in the case of the property in Frankfurt's Bockenheim district that was occupied over the weekend, but the complaint was withdrawn by construction and real estate department head Sylvia Weber on Monday. The occupiers had shown themselves willing to cooperate and pointed out the vacancies in city properties, which was supported by the Greens and the SPD. The opposition CDU is also calling for more transparency in the form of a regular vacancy report and better control of property management by the city council. Legal department head Stephanie Wüst (FDP), however, publicly criticized Weber's actions and called for the building to be evacuated quickly.

This conflict within the municipality and between the coalition partners can lead to uncertainty and instability in the real estate market. Reluctance to file criminal charges and evict squatted properties can potentially lead to an increase in squatting and deter investors. Uncertainty regarding the enforcement of property rights and the intended granting of a leasehold can reduce the attractiveness of the real estate market in Frankfurt. The public controversy surrounding the city administration's actions may also affect the city's reputation as a reliable partner in the real estate sector.

It remains to be seen how the political discussions and decisions in the coming weeks will affect the real estate market in Frankfurt. The uncertainty and controversy could lead to a decline in investments in the short term, while in the long term the stability of the market will depend on the actions of the city administration and political agreement.
