You forgot the nearly complete deindustrialization on the former DDR territory and still lower wages across the board despite food prices and energy costing the same as in the west and rents and property rising as well. Hence the migration for work to the west or foreign countries. So West-germany plundered and pillaged and burned the DDR. And more often than not Wessis act and talk like the big victors over the DDR. Making it look like an annexation even more. But still feeling and talking as being oh so alternative and the real protestors despite the Greens basically being the party of governemnt clerks and teachers and settled middle class in the suburbs. You know, hybrid-SUV driving soccer-moms. Actually implemented politics of the Greens has not much to do with enviromental protection or peace anymore. See what they do in NRW or BaWü. Digging coal and cuddling wiht the car industry respectively.
