The politicians in Berlin intend to spend half a million euros on erecting two monuments that celebrate immigration, reports Remix News.
One of the monuments is to be dedicated to the mostly Turkish “guest workers” who arrived in West Germany in the 1960s and formed the basis of today’s multicultural Germany.
The second will pay tribute to foreign contract workers in East Germany.
It is a good time for this, says the social democratic Berlin politician Sevim Aydin, who is himself Turkish, to DPA.
People needed workers back then and that’s why they brought in the guest workers.
Sevim Aydin argues that the monuments are relevant to today’s discussion of migration and the need for labor in Germany.
In Berlin, the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats govern in coalition.
