The “Berlin Monitor,” funded by the Berlin Senate, published its annual report for 2025 on Monday. The report focuses on the situation of minorities in Germany. NIUS presents a selection of data.

The study’s opening statement reads: “25 to 30 percent of Berliners would like to see Sinti and Roma banned from city centers and assume they are less civilized.”

Forty-two percent of those surveyed believe Sinti and Roma are themselves to blame for the discrimination they face. One in three respondents considers them “not very civilized.” Nearly half (45 percent) believe that the presence of Sinti and Roma leads to conflict.
