Funding against anti -Semitism: Berlin's struggle for effective measures

The recent increase in anti -Semitic incidents in Berlin has led to an increased interest in projects and funds against anti -Semitism. After the Hamas attack on Israel last autumn, the CDU and SPD set an additional 20 million euros in Berlin's double budget to intensify the fight against anti-Semitism. In the past, only around 260,000 euros were spent from the available ten million euros, which has come across criticism.

Cultural Senator Joe Chialo explains that the slow money edition is due to the development of new departments and the search for additional staff. The Greens criticize the administrative selection and argue that the funds for fighting anti -Semitism are used in the wrong place. It is expected to be published soon to encourage projects to apply for funds.

Despite the planned measures for this year, such as the establishment of new anti-Semitism intentions and allocations to selected cultural institutions, there are concerns about the schedule. The SPD and the Greens urge the funds and effective use of the funds against anti -Semitism. A stable support program is planned for 2025 to optimize the financing and project selection. The political factions are struggling for the efficient distribution of funds and compliance with the budget guidelines, while the cultural administration is working on implementation. - nag
