  • The Berlin Parliament's newly established Enquete Commission convened its inaugural session on March 28, 2025.
  • The 24-member body includes 13 parliamentarians and 11 external experts from various fields, tasked with fostering societal cohesion and addressing systemic discrimination.
  • The commission's mandate includes examining institutional structures and proposing legislative changes to tackle racism, antisemitism, and other forms of prejudice.
