Measures against racism and animosity towards foreigners in Berlin* BARBARA JOHN Commissioner for Foreign Nationals, Senate of Berlin, Berlin Germany 1. Points of departure/conditions in Berlin - As a consequence of the political changes in Eastern and Southeastern Europe since the disappearance of the internal German border and the opening of Eastern European borders, a heavy immigration influx from these areas to the Federal Republic has resulted; Berlin, the nearest central European metropolis to the East and the city with the largest population of sedentary minorities from these countries, is especially hard-hit by immigration. This influx will eventually subside, but, depending upon circumstances, could increase. - The reunification of the country and the city of Berlin have forced over- whelming economical and socio-political problems associated therewith into the forefront of public discourse; consequently, interests for the welfare of ethnic minorities in Germany have been repressed, with the exceptions of the discussions about the wave of hate crimes directed against foreigners and the asylum debate. Repression in regards to foreigners' welfare takes place not only on an unconscious level, but also in conscious word and deed, especially on the job market and in educational and vocational training institutions.
