Article is about the government, consisting of CDU and SPD at the time (2017), removing important parts of their report on poverty. Affected were passages about the growing low-wage sector, wage inequality and inequality of wealth overall, as well as reports on how poverty affects political influence and the growth of the economy.
It appears as if the government had a disregard about the social and democratic implecations of poverty. The previous government of CDU and FDP did something similar in 2012 and was criticized for it by the SPD
Just look at the median wealth of the population. Many people don't own a home, and that kills the wealth statistics. A few BMW heirs, Aldi brothers and Lidl owner push up the average vastly.
