I know exactly why the wall fell, I was in there in late 80s and 90s and made numerous trips into East Germany.
Turns out these protests did nothing to stop the current Govt from changing the constitution and introduce new laws permitting curfews etc. Law was passed today.
There has been a change in atmosphere recently and I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens after Merkel. On local social media and MSM is nothing but leftist rhetoric. Anyone questioning that is immediately pounced upon and labelled as right wing or Nazi.
Your wife will know exactly what the consequences are of where we're heading right now.

My wife is from East Germany and lived behind the wall.
Just because they passed a law today doesn’t mean massive protests can’t be successful.
