>What precisely is happening in Germany?German industries in low margin businesses (meat, agriculture, harvesting, construction work, hospitality, etc.) are dependent on exploiting low wage migrant labor, mostly form Eastern Europe (why do you think food prices are so low in Germany, and why do you think the country has the most liberal open borders migration policy in Europe?).
The German government and state institutions turn a blind eye to migrant exploitation, because otherwise supermarket prices would explode and some German exports would no longer be competitive on price. For example, when you see super cheap bananas or whatever food in the supermarkets, that have to be grown, harvested and shipped and wages paid along the supply chain, how do you think such low prices are possible? Easy, people and the environment are usually exploited along the way, as supermarket chains know consumers are very price sensitive so the entire industry price-competes themselves downward into oblivion thriving on exploitation. To be clear, this isn't an isolated issue to Germany alone, but applies to many wealthy countries.

As this exploitation has been happening for a while, there are countless stories and articles about this in German media, especially DW and other NGOs. They're so well documented, they're impossible to miss, so I'm a bit surprised by your skepticism, but here you go:
