The German government isn’t doing enough to support different towns and cities around Germany, mainly in the former East Germany. This is a conversation that needs to be had. It’s not enough that every now and then a politician makes some half-hearted reference to urban development funding or inward investment and so on. There needs to be a participatory programme that allows residents in various areas to voice concerns, and those concerns need to be taken seriously.

When they are not taken seriously, the void gets filled. The result may not be to everyone's liking, not even to those who vote for them.
