The reunification of Germany was always the goal of the Federal Republic of Germany. The basic law declared that the West Germans built a free democracy and an open society “ also on behalf of those Germans who were prevented from participation.”
Germany today after reunification confronts two challenges : First it has to speed up the inner psychological unification which means working on the re-building of the German nation; second the Europeanization and Westernizing the legacy of Kohl, must continue. The first task, according to a German writer, demands material and moral effort from the West Germans. The second task will demand more of the East Germans. The gab between East Germans and West Germans must be closed .
