It Isn't Easy For Everyone In Germany To Make Ends Meet Through Well-paid Work In Germany. You Have To Have Sufficient Skills And Work Hard. And I Also Know That We Have Much Too Much Poverty And Inequality Here. Still, Our Parents And Grandparents Built An Incredibly Prosperous And Peaceful Country.

We Have Offered To Finally Hold True Negotiations And Talks On That Issue.
