LUDWIGSBURG (dpa-AFX) – “Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung” on the day of German unity:
“Germany has been reunited longer than the Wall of Shame divided Berlin. And yet the mood to celebrate is clearly dampened even after 32 years. Contrary to what Chancellor Olaf Scholz claimed yesterday, what belongs together has not yet completely grown together. And it hasn’t done by waiting a few more years, because dissatisfaction and concerns are increasing in society as a whole, especially in East Germany, where people have fewer reserves because employment biographies are more fragile, pensions are lower and fewer assets are inherited . The story that the East was treated badly, immigration threatens people and nation, often falls on fertile ground.”/ra/DP/he
