I believe that this national holiday of German reunification today is a joke and needs to be changed.
Nobody I know celebrates the anniversary of the signing of a treaty. I am a Mellenial and I think I speak for many when I say that we are just happy to have a day off work. This national holiday also affects me more than most of my countrymen, as my family are from both the former West and East. If you look back, people were actually celebrating reunification on 11 November 1989, when a simple question from a Dutch reporter finally opened the borders and the wall was torn down. People celebrated ecstatically, with tears of joy and relief, families were reunited and freedom was given to those who had fought for it. In my opinion, and in light of recent historical events, this should be a national holiday. Without question. Unfortunately, 11 November is so tainted in German history with events such as the proclamation of the First German Republic in 1918, the Hitler putsch in 1923, and the pogroms on synagogues and Jewish businesses in 1938, that it hasn't been chosen as a public holiday. Most Germans, more than any other nation, struggle with patriotism, national identity and being proud in the wider world because of our troubled recent past. As much as we should remember the dark past and celebrate the glorious, it is even more important to make the most of the present and work hard to build a brighter future. Onwards.

Brilliant, #Doomberg latest piece. Remember, this individual highlighted was never elected into the position, rather chosen in a back room deal. And they pushed the last EU elections on us via every available channel as it was life vs. death. Shameful.
This UniCredit Commerzbank merger is getting more and more interesting.

Dope. Can you laser this onto the ECB tower in Frankfurt?
