When we, for example, see shifts of huge production lines from certain areas to other countries, people tend to ask the question, Where's my place in this modern world? We have this here, this tendency in our country, we have it in other countries.

Belong purportedly to certain groups say, We are the people and not the others. That is something that we cannot allow to happen. That is something that I think at the time in the GDR - at the time when we had this in the GDR, where the people stood in the street and said, We are the people, that is something that filled me with great joy.
