That such kind of talk could be heard in East Berlin is one of the continuing anomalies of the original four-power agreement made almost 14 years ago, which divided the city into east and west sectors. The Socialist Party is banned in East Germany itself, but it operates in East Berlin, just as the Communists are allowed to operate in West Berlin, where last December they got 1.9% of the vote.
