Their status in society should be comparable to former Stasi. You probably haven't heard much about how former Stasi were treated, and how they still are perceived.

You mean being voted into regional parliaments in the former GDR states?

Sorry, but the German far right party that just won their first state governmental majority vote has the highest share of former Stasi officials in their ranks.

So basically - being ex-stasi is nothing to be ashamed of anymore in some parts of Germany.
