Your story we are trying always to understand this new culture. Another visitor not the guests you want to become a citizen. In so migrants your platform for reliable information. At 3. Point. 998930 years ago. The wall fell people in the east looked forward to the future to a new world new possibilities and western products. Was similar in november 89 german clubs looked forward to western t. V. Money sponsors and. As did players like Manchester City legend. Then a 20 year old east German International we watched our id ideals on television for years for decades and then we played against them or g. D. R. Talent Stephan Floyd who benefited from the change not just because he later won the euros. Went to straight away a penthouse flat can you imagine a pentode fled. The people of east germany so great times coming but things turned out differently most companies in the g. D. R. Was shut down millions of people lost their jobs the eastern economy crashed and so did its football. Today 30 years after the fall off the wall not a single team from the east german top division in 89. 00 is a part of. The last g. D. R. Champions hands of all stock are stuck in the 3rd division d. D. R. Record champions denominator then play in the 4th tier alongside look like 6 and every effort are in the 5th division they all formally played in europe and even worse Stephan Florence former club style become the book currently playing in the 7th tier. 30 years after the fall of the wall its pretty clear to see reunification and football. Couldnt have gone differently the situation for the g. D. Are in november 89. 00 wasnt so bad reigning champions denominate dresden had reached the u. A. E. For cup semifinals just a few months before dunam of berlin almost eliminated us in venice a s monaco from the cup winners cup. One game after game. I on the National Team were on their way to qualifying for the 9090 world cup they beat the olympic champion soviet union in this stunning performance. I. Picked up so how did east german football become what it is today. He came over. With a few guys and bought the best lamps is a good example why in the end was difficult to survive for the east german club. Manager sealed the 1st east west deal just one month after the fall of the wall he signed. The best striker time. Dressed in style followed. Later ballon dor when i went to stuttgart the same year the cups. Came over and. All the talent. And. Clubs didnt really got paid the money they should have the. Club and destruction the dream of the golden west turned out to be a nightmare g. D. R. Couldnt compete in the free markets. Where all parts of. The play as paid by the state there was no know how in terms of marketing sponsorship all contracts. Regional sponsors in the east didnt have much money and most of the western companies didnt want to invest in east german clubs and i would think the investors from the west were interested in other things probably mainly in real estate. Trusts. It was really getting into investing in football with both. Invested in many east german clubs in the ninetys and 2 thousands he saved only one berlin from bankruptcy and helped the like sink to rise but some of his our fellow investors ventures failed. Denominator dressed in for example ruined by a west german businessman who later went to prison for embezzlement. Many club simply made wrong decisions with the money trying to get to know exactly what they were doing and they sign players or coaches from the west for way too much money. In this. Group too few. Of course it was bad management of course a lack of investment of course lack of infrastructure but how the club in the east should know how to run a Football Club when he was never exposed to. Some of the lack of commercial power in the east was a big factor in why reunification and football failed. Now the reason for the downfall of. The fusion of the east and west german leagues simply wasnt fair in 1989 the west German Bundesliga had 18 teams and the east german over league had 14 sides instead of merging these leagues all 181 is the good teams were allowed to stay in the top division and only 2 east german teams could join a further 6 g. D. R. Teams were relegated to the 2nd division and the rest went from the 1st to the 3rd all german for example former european cup winners knocked a book or record champion dynamo berlin played here in this stadium this well. It was pretty unfair or should have expanded the bundesliga then maybe the damage would have been so bad that it put the 10 years. In. The east football family. The west German Family basically. You just want a world cup so you basically you have to take what you get. Over those learn had a difficult start in the 1st 3 unified season he struggled at dinamo dressed in 92. 00 unsuccessfully went to the west german club nuremberg. Was another level for another level of scooty media to cope with. Contracts to cope also a little bit society with both you had to do look out for yourself in the east we were more everything came from a collective we were more team in the west you need to. Expand your elbows to survive now you have to look after you said if you have to and then you realize a little bit more how far. Hes german so i was away from the. West. Despite these differences stephanie. In the west he won titles with dortmund and germany and then did up as a favorite at tottenham. Sign for Manchester City between 94 and 98 he scored 50 goals for the sky blues becoming part of their hold of fame. Meanwhile their former clubs collapsed. Went bankrupt in 998. Dressed and left the bundesliga in 1995 with millions of debt and never came back. So 30 years after. Its german club made but in some ways used is very much alive. Take the current german Youth Development system it is undoubtedly one of the best in the world with specialized football schools and an outstanding scouting system from age 10 all implemented in the 2000 east germans. Basically lot of things were already happened decades 2030 years before in the east and i think all football germany had benefit. If you take a look at the 3 decades after reunification who were the best. In the 90s. And raised in dresden. In the 2000. Structure and in the 201020 course also born and bred in east germany. East. Played later. For the german National Team there is a character and a power that i think comes from the overall situation in east germany east germany was a poor country you have to fight you have to work hard if to grow as a person. East germany is no longer poor things are Getting Better and since 2005 we even have an east german chancellor. East germany was. Oddly not the nicest area to live no is fantastic to live there and then you realise all why not to play for our knowledge to play for the race and again leipsic knol. And with abi leipsic theres finally a team from the east that can really compete with the big teams from the west the club was promoted to the bonus league in 2016 and finished 2nd in the 1st season behind by him but ahead of dont manage and therefore top flight season so far theyve qualified for the Champions League 3 times last season under the guidance of their young coach youre young not go some on the team breached the semifinals beating the likes of tottenham and Atletico Madrid along the way. Thanks for the likes of people that somebody comes in and thank you flights of the chance to participate in the blues who can participate in Champions League and. To have the option to fight for titles something posted. Since last season on your own berlin has also been in the bundesliga for the 1st time after spending 10 seasons in germanys 2nd tier the club from the east berlin district of kerpen it enjoys cult status far beyond the capital on your own cultivates the image of the underdog in terms of sport the team was able to convince in the 1st year the promoted side finished their 1st season in their place so reunification failed but the east is still alive. Was. A lot of mexico. To read. And rethink how things as out wrong. Im going to say no. The me and there were people in the court so. I am crazy. Looking forward to going to pull. Over to you. Conflicts you dont care a lot about it in your feast days but for more than 2 months follow gary compulsed financial corruption and government demonstrations my guest this week from sofia to speed such a minister and social policy riders she contributed stuff and the judge dismissed teaching its most Vulnerable People nation of its human rights over again conflicts of. A shared one dream to start a new land for young migrants in sicily today see if the life in the details was put in prison thanks think what i went through. Is not really wanting to know and helping to give you 25 year old survival that you cannot survive on doubts because coming here you come here you are drawn in from your world you are running from change you properly got the 77 percent getting to 60 minutes on d w. What secrets my behind the wall. Discover new adventures in the 360 degree. And explore fascinating World Heritage site. T. W. World heritage 316 get kidnapped now. Im going to. Where is the government going to get the message and resign were getting a lot of different messages from the protests is your government afraid of the truth the of the need. In the face of the truth we do understand that there are a lot of problems you dont hear a lot about it in europe these days but for more than 2 months fog area has been combust by anticorruption antigovernment demonstrations for 7 years in a row its on the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt country in the e. U. My guest this week from sofia is the need for such of a minister of labor and social policy why does she continue to serve in a government thats mistreating its most Vulnerable People in violation of its human rights of negations and why has it done so little to crack down on organized crime and the politicians who benefit from it. And its a such of a welcome to come later on weve seen more than 2 months of Anti Government protests sometimes violent when is the government going to get the message and resign we are getting a lot of different messages from the protests but we are also getting messages from those that are not on the progress actually the protests started a month ago they combine but i if i have the messages some of the messages those messages that are for a better judicial system or more justice and or fight against corruption these the messages that we hear and we do want to look better still in our politics when i see from the opinion polls this is pretty clear 70 percent to distrust the government and the personal confidence rating of the Prime Minister has dropped to just 20 percent the lowest rate in years so the crowds are telling you they dont want you they dont want your new draft constitution they want immediate elections so why not give them to the crowd. Because there are not more than 6000 people on the street then there are more than 1000000 people who have voted for this government and also the regular elections that just showed you all 6 months from today people dont want to wait for that theyve seen enough corruption theyve seen enough brutality on the streets now the violence has been condemned as widely excessive violence by the Police Including by your own president truman rather he accused your government of actually directing and triggering the violence didnt he at least on one occasion i wouldnt agree with your strong words about violence because i can i can tell you that there are more than 80 people eastment that are actually now with us to tell and that gave the i guess then theres been a lot of violence on behalf of the public and what when were talking about that all of the president its really very interesting that actually its the president that is the the one that must be a king about unity and must be opening alak and on the contrary is actually fueling the violence any given spirit of hatred thats thats quite an accusation to level against your president but its not shared by the council of europe in particular the. Commissioner for human rights dona me out of it she talked about numerous reports of Police Violence against journalists covering the demonstrations several were reportedly beaten up and pepper sprayed when right Police Clashed with demonstrators violence against germany she said especially at the hands of state agents is contrary to states duty to up hold press freedom and to protect the safety of journalists its pretty sad when you have to be reminded of that is in the. Its pretty set but at the same moment you are a person that is your word for Factual Television and for factual journalism and i can tell you the facts are not actually supporting the strong statements as i told you right now there were more than 80 Police People that are in hospital and can be out of that he Serious Violence there are also yellow also on the streets from the plot the sounds there were coffins that were being brought in a number of other. Access to it is that they have been we have been witnessing on the street so the council of europe doesnt know what hes talking about and your own president doesnt know what hes talking about and you have a veto of the us dont i try minister so this is not into a head on doesnt it you have a dead end here. Its not that then that objective it is just that we also see everything which is on the street not only what is what suits elk recission well president rather has long accused your Prime Minister of corruption and links with organized crime hes called on him to resign the government government the current government he says is morally finished and its of the utmost importance that its formally finished as well hes right isnt it what kind of system is this where the Prime Minister is pictured asleep in his official residence a gun beside his bed and a draw in his bedside table stuffed full of 500 euro notes what kind of government is this what are your proofs that this this photograph that your little what other proof of the president in this respect and if this was just a Video Editing of law just broadcast in beach areas where the Prime Minister is not on one and the same picture with the staff at every notice of hero and at the same time i think that if we were talking about democracy and if were talking about superiority of law its the court that must actually state whether its true or not both will come on to the courts in a minute but how helpful is it to the stability of bug area with the Prime Minister and the president at each others throat both of them calling for the other one to resign the answer has to be thats not very good for the stability of your country is it. Definitely this war between the institutions is not good for the stability but i want to again to to draw your attention to the fact and the fact that very clear 1st of all we have the country at the moment which has very low degrees of the g. D. P. Due to the crisis its 8. 2 in comparison with other countries where its double figures we also have we have the in top 5 the number 7 employment and i can also point to that the race of the g. D. P. In the last 5 years is nearly double this is not possible in a country which is there with and any corruption its not possible to see such figures if everything is so rooted then corrupt if you are trying to imply now the conversation well im not the only one saying that because you know both pug area and the government you serve in have become by words for corruption internationally corruption mafia capture them a critic backsliding and a politically manipulated and almost dysfunctional Justice System i wonder why you continue to serve in a government which is so mired in scandal. It got this is the government which doubled the teacher selling in the country this is the government which invested 2500000000. 00 in only in the Education System this is the government which preserved almost 300000 just place in the core if that is this is the government which double the g. D. P. In the last in the last years and also is the government that boston think it is the incomes of the people and i dont know like a mismatch about your how long the black and white you know your figures are extraordinary g. D. P. Growth over the last 10 years has been around 50 percent in contrast to remain which joined on the same those you the European Union has registered an increase of more than 200 percent can you explain that you have the lowest average salary in the you with less than 690. 00 euros a month less than bosnia and montenegro which arent even in the e. U. And the European Council on Foreign Relations says its a sign youve made very poor use of e. U. Cohesion funds why is that mismanagement and corruption or is a both. This is this is not true because the ligament still in the country when we started in the count in the country was 2505011 now list expanded and then 11 and when we are talking about that the influence of the e. U. France actually decrease of the cell is due to the investment of the events is 8. 2 percent for the period between 24020. 00 plaintive it is also important that the g. D. P. Has increased its 7. 7 percent due to the European Finance investment it is once again because im a minister of lebanon social policy want to measure the level of unemployment which would have been the healthier and now is 7. 2 percent and youth of the European Union france investment is a lower with a 5. 6 percent minister last year the Us State Department said that while you laws provided penalties for corrupt officials the government did not implement that law effectively officials in all branches of government reportedly gauged in corrupt practices with impunity that means no consequences so the inescapable conclusion is that you allow this corruption because members of your government and criminals connected to it profiting by it day by day thats why the state department underlined multiple reports of government corruption and they included bribery conflict of interest elaborate embezzlement schemes for kilmeny violations and influence trading this is full Service Corruption right across the spectrum of your government did you think the world would notice what was going on. I can tell you that in the last year is the commission for fighting against corruption and confiscating of illegal aquatic property yes that dam the but it really mean that a precocious parole out of a 1000000000 lever and yes that means that more than 1000. 00 different the checks and editions of different officials on Different Levels including local and National Government there were times when god Government Official not a single senior Government Official or major crime boss has been indicted on corruption charges why is that that your court case is and then not finished yet but i can also point to that part of the felt this and i mean once again reminding but of the protest after by a person who is now trying to escape justice from bulgaria because of not date exits in the country for more than 700000000 you know you keep telling me about what youve done on the subject of corruption but last year the center for the study of democracy in your own capital in sofia so the least 35 percent of public procurement contracts involve corrupt practices thats 35 percent more than a 3rd this is the kind of country that youve turned bug area into and you still think you should stay on in Government Transparency international regs your country as the most corrupt in the European Union and has done for the last 7 years consecutively why dont we call it then you know what i mean that in this respect then the statistic which they have that they have announced that for example 58 percent of the respondents in the area say that in the everyday life they give them met that option and that actually according to europe or with that our country yes with 3 percent lower corruption rate then in comparison with the 1070 well i dont know which youre a barometer youre looking at but the one last year said that 80 percent according to it 80 percent. I think that there is widespread corruption 78 percent think that the only way to succeed in business is to have political connections these are statistics that would shame any developing nation around the world let alone a member of the European Union exactly the same europe permit the sense that 28 percent of the respondents say that they are actually seeing action in the every day and 58 percent saying that they have not been enough touch with that option in their in their latin ditty well i dont know which triggers youre using i wonder if you actually listen to the views of the people out on the streets or are you just interested in digging around in your heels and hanging on to your government salaries to listen to what actually people are saying on the streets about you yes we do not and as i dont know on the street there is no one united view and that is no one united group of people and indeed nation may be a calmest lot of them plenty badly but there are different people with different motives there those the young people the people that are actually looking for better judicial system and that one more vigorous fight that absent those voices we hear and we want to respond to them yet by joining us according to the u. S. State department youre not doing anything about it youre providing opportunities for full scale full spectrum corruption within the government itself i wouldnt agree with that and i dont know that theyre talking about either way that some of the what theyre talking about the rest of the what hes talking about the e. U. Doesnt know what hes talking about nobody seems to understand you very well do they let very honest of that country. Once again and im telling you that in a country where the incomes that being increased where the employment rate is lower and let the g. D. P. Is being increased you cannot eat about that and then corruption because this is just cannot be achieved if there is such import thats in homs and then in corruption so you say minister why is so theres so little respect in your government for the free press which is after all the bedrock of any Democratic State the council of Europe Commission dona many out of age noted last year the continued deterioration of Media Freedom in bulgaria she cited nontransparent media ownership heris mint of journalists including the use of defamation suits against them why do you allow this to go on more than 60 percent of the Media Coverage in the area is critical against the government they wouldnt say that this is this is like a freedom of press Freedom House reported that when a progovernment journalist and politician and milk look of was appointed last year to head bulger in national t. V. All the critical voices were silenced so with the Nova Broadcasting Group new owners came in investigative journalists were fired you clearly have no interest in a press that holds your politicians to account to you. I wouldnt agree with just as well get lost in one of the most popular shows on the get a National Television distracted for example was one of the main leaders of the opposition and one of the main leaders of the protests and actually every single day that our oldest on the whole get a National Television and people can free to express what they think about the government and what they think about the media you know get yes but dont investigate them dont hold them to account for corruption earlier this year Reporters Without Borders accused your government of trying to intimidate journalists it said theyve been subjected to a series of verbal attacks and threats by very senior officials since the beginning of february they talked about the prosecutor general the speaker of the National Assembly why this constant intimidation is your government afraid of the truth do you do you see me being afraid of the truth we do understand that there are a lot of problems and that we need to do a lot in the fight about that option and they sound very little about it and have done very little about it in the time that this party has been in power very little 1000 revisions 1000 provisional the 1st senior Government Officials you say that this is a little and how many sentences and how many sentences are many people have been sentenced nobody you think that in the fine legit cry and also no major Government Official has been said they think that in the fight in the fight against corruption we dont receive. Such warrants that we see now at the moment you think that i think yes that actually is not only something that in this is that a thing of the government left you you belittle and insult journalists during a press conference in sofia on february 4th your Prime Minister likened reporters especially female reporters to turkeys and many grotesquely tried to mock them by making sounds imitating the way turkeys gobble is that how you respect the free press in your country. Our Prime Minister just is not specific simply language and he didnt meant still be able to any of the journalists any disrespect i dont think that this is a serious accusation about about let the freedom of press well this is your country is ranked 100 and 11th in the World Press Freedom in the next the lowest ranking of any you member country and way lower than countries like kenya and angola youre not ashamed that you score so low on these key indicators for democracy like free press and very much a story for the fact that the dog ate continues to be with the negative coverage you know of the foreign media but i do believe that if we are the object if we are going to see that light again as i mentioned to you before is not so black and white 60 percent of the average in bulgaria is negative about the government every journalist at least 3 supposed to talk about the government then the the use of social media in the countries really enormous including the us consumption of internet media and internet media is very very critical about the minister once a particular concern is your human rights record in bulgaria and the impression that fundamentally go safeguards for citizens appear to be missing at the end of 2017 the un committee against torture reported that they were thirtys often failed to inform arrested people of their rights in criminal proceedings that actively discouraged by manipulation threats and ill treatment from accessing those rights once more in excess of 70 percent of detainees dont have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin and some dont even have a lawyer at any stage in those criminal proceedings to say any of that strike you as fair and what kind of state he running will you permit things like that to go on. Ministry of justice in the area and also the other is just chance that there are supposed to be so what about these problems theyre working very hard on this as a minister of labor the minister of social policy and in charge for people with disabilities people with mental can be kept and also elderly people and for example in the public 1000. 00 crisis. But yet it has many its still is that the life of most of the all of the people who have been now at the moment did not take yes interest in centers or people with disability with people with dementia out of 16000 people who cant be in this and theres only for example 1054 where you are not on her own a thought my question was about the lack of legal representation for people in your Justice System its a pretty shocking that court 70 percent of detainees dont have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin i dont know about this figure us but i can tell this to the dont you read the very poorly International Report her size your case or whats next that youre rated this bigger because that was in the area a lot of lawyers in the area that also is. This case is the committee against torture said the one in every 3 people detained in a police stations are subjected to abuse there which may be they say of such severity as to a month to torture a main clue beating handcuffing 2 immovable objects and the use of truncheons i thought all this stuff was supposed to end when the communists left it doesnt seem to have ended at all you seem to perpetuate this kind of treatment and im wondering why as i still think that this is very largely exaggerated and its not exactly true you can also see that your its all in your head is lying about you now the un doesnt know what theyre talking about Human Rights Council committee against torture they dont know what theyre talking about they dont talk to people they dont do research they simply make all this up there and you do not believe that the geopolitical interests sometimes when we are talking about the area and internationally much about the get a feel one has no interest in making up stories about you. Full stop and no interest whatsoever im sorry but you can always draw facts from certain cases and you can always say that this is the system but the system is not like this and i can tell you this as a Person Police already thought the 7 years in but yet you have ample that these 16 years old when the plumbing is spelled and i can tell you that that is tremendous improvement from 1998 until today well since youre in charge of social care and people with mental disabilities let me join your attention to another report which came from the un committee against torture which is particularly shocking because it involves the excessive use of medication and chemical restraints on people on inmates and the forcible administering of intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs without any attempt to gain consent from the people who are subjected to these treatment this is going on in your Mental Institution and frankly its inhuman isnt it how do you permit that this report is particularly with this report that i am not aware of it or its about it concerns free particular institutions these institutions will be closed and all the people in this institutions will be displaced into will then yes then there is the close when will they be closed they will last until the end of this month we are working already on that and together with the prosecutor general we started that edition of all the east additions for mentalities of the temple people in if we see that either it is just like this all the other institutions will be well how i know you dont know because there is no independent monitoring another fact brought out by the committee against torture you have no independent special monitoring mechanism for Mental Health institutions were working very closely with that not governmental organizations and from the 1st of september we have established the mages you wanted to have social services i would let bank out of the deal to. The europeans only that it isnt due to our politics and the moment you get yet there are no institutions for children with mental disability and we are just at in the process of institutionalization where all the people with mental disability as well minister is pretty shocking youve been in the for 10 years and you still have these institutions which administer forcible forcibly administer intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs another trick which the communist authorities used to do on people on dissidents and people who didnt agree with them this is been going on for 10 years and you tell me your only now getting round to doing something about it why why have you let this happen for so long we last 3 terms of you this Prime Minister and this party in power and nothing was done about it. When i asked her to do what in the midst of level a social policy was 25 years ago then we get more than 50000 children in institutions now we have no more than a 2500 children that are being im not talking about children im talking about every has and then look how long it took us to the process of the institutionalization and to say today that we dont have any more institutions for children now is that the process for elderly people and for people with mental disabilities and i am confident that in between 5 to 7 years we are going to end this that says between 5 and 7 years at the time of your countrys accession you promised to respect and govern according to the values of the European Union those included Human DignityFreedom Democracy equality rule of law respect for human rights things that still do not pertain and are still not respected in your various institutions like prisons where people are being mistreated and like these Mental Institutions where youve acknowledged that the mistreatment is still continuing i wouldnt agree with you that we dont respect these veils because i dont i dont see that this is a problem of the whole system yes thats the case in which we dont see these values respected and in this case this we act immediately and severely. All right there was no need to thank you very much for being with us. Thank you. Thank. You.
