35 years of German unity: implement equivalent living conditions in East and West now

35 years after reunification, people in eastern Germany earn less on average than in the West, but in some cases pay higher electricity prices. The motion calls for concrete steps so that East and West truly converge in living standards, including a minimum wage of at least 15 euros, lower energy prices, and full relief of municipalities’ legacy debts. Structurally weak regions should also receive more funding than before.
