The federal government has released its latest evaluation on the country's status, 26 years after reunification. Leaders are worried about rising xenophobia and lagging economic progress in the east.
In a report on the Status of German Unity released by the cabinet on Wednesday, leaders expressed concern about the increasing incidents of anti-immigrant and right-wing attacks, especially in eastern states that were part of the former German Democratic Republic.
Presenting the report, Social Democrat Iris Gleicke said she was "very upset" with the development. Right-wing attacks were now being carried out from the ranks of normal citizens or accepted by them. She said she expected the federal government and state and district administrations to "act decisively."
The document said that xenophobia, right-wing extremism and intolerance could lead to destroying all chances for increasing immigration in a region where the dwindling population could benefit from immigrants. It also expressed concern that the former East German states, other than Berlin, had the lowest ratio of foreigners compared to their western counterparts. This proved that anti-migrant violence was not because of a high proportion of refugees.

It isn't fear of foreigners, it's disgust with invaders that commit atrocities.
It's the same putrid game played here when they call people that are anti ILLEGAL immigrants, anti immigrants.

WOW, This PROVED!! Where the #### did they learn the scientific method of proofs?!?!?!?!
Does this mean that horrific acts by a LOWER proportion of refugees should meet no response.
Weakest statement i’ve read in a while.
Yep, an intense loathing of Moslem death cultists isn’t either “xenophobic” or “Islamophobic.” It’s simply rational, and indicates a refreshing (for the West) sense of self/culture-preservation.
I fear they’re a little late waking up.
They can call it any dirty names they want but their forcing dangerous hostile Moslems on the German people is the cause of all the problems they’re writing about- and a whole lot more
trouble to come. Europe ( and USA) either repatriates/ returns the Moslems now or history and basic human nature teach there’s gonna be terrible terrible consequences
I noticed that ridiculous lack of logic, too.
It’s as though the people in east Germany don’t read the news. You don’t have to be personally raped to be against a rapist residing 100 miles away.
yep. Nor do you need 1 million refugees if a measly 100k are doing horrific things.
The whole statement is beyond absurd, but hell, at this point the whole world is beyond absurd.
The great thing about FR is people will notice what you notice in articles and you dont have to write a thesis to explain it to them.
Like most morons in this country.
I have fear of criminals, rapists and murderers, too.
What is xenophobia? I have an advanced college degree but this word somehow didn’t enter my vocabulary in my education. I know what claustrophobia is and also fear of flying which can be a phobia. My degrees are in Psychology but this phobia and the ones Hillary said we suffer from were not part of my training or my licensure.
It means fear of ultra-leftist, country-killing progressive politics foisted on us by elitists who know better than us.
Oh, thank you. I feel my brain being washed into proper disorder:-)
“I fear they’re a little late waking up.”
Maybe, but in my experience they recognize a raft of manure headed their way long before those in west Germany, as they have had to endure a manure sandwich for a good part of their very recent history.
There, fixed that sh!t
Hillary will flood america and make Germany like look like nothing. The is it folks..for your kids..grandkids.,
It’s not a “phobia” when they really are trying to kill you and destroy western culture, law and democracy.

Right winged? Why does the media have to brainwash and use a term that is so wrong.
