The district of Neukölln, in Berlin, is a bit like “93” in Paris or Molenbeek in Brussels. Every time we talk regarding integration, all the media descend on this emblematic district of the capital where more than 80% of young people have an immigrant background. On the eve of New Year’s Eve, security measures in this area are exceptional. In the context of the Hamas-Israel war, Berlin wants to prevent the celebration from turning into a political demonstration with riots like last year. Street parties might quickly turn into an outlet.
