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.

They're talking about the period of time that followed reunification. Going from there to where Germany is today isn't inevitable.
