Gottfried Curio
Criminal Statistics
German Bundestag, April 2, 2019,
Plenarprotokoll 19/91, pp. 10844-10845

Curio is an Alternative für Deutschland Bundestag member from Berlin. He has
taught theoretical physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the Ludwig
Maximillian University in Munich and his studies include time at the Institute
for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey. He here responds to German
Interior Minister Horst Seehofer’s statement on German criminal statistics.]
The criminal statistics are presented and the
Minister Seehofer is a contented man. Why is that actually? The number of narcotics
offenses have increased approximately 6 percent to 350,000. The borders with
Belgium and Holland must be put under surveillance. GdP director Krummen said:
The border security at this point in time is good for nothing. We are as open
as a barndoor. – That is not reasonable. A failure of government!
There is an increase of 40 percent of
violence against police; some involving deportation, some of which must be
interrupted. Although the number of non-German suspects is already over 30 percent,
Seehofer leaves the borders wide open!
Filiz
Polat (Bündnis90/Grünen): Schengen!
Thereby come ever more multiple perpetrators
from the Maghreb, from Libya or central Africa. The deportation process is
failing. It must be more effective. We need a deportations’ financial sanctions
enforcement.
Prisons – overcrowded, police – personnel shortage,
courts – overburdened, Arab clans gaining ground. Yet Minister Seehofer is a contented man. The
number of attacks on police, medics, firemen increases. The gray zone of
unreported offenses becomes screened-off. The number of threats subject to
round-the-clock surveillance increases. Yet Minister Seehofer is a contented
man. But it is not the Interior Minister who should feel safe, but the citizen,
he who knows exactly what is going on in his town.
Fewer break-ins of homes an achievement? Far
from it. Success only due to prevention expenditures on the part of the
citizen. The government does little against the criminality flooding across the
border as a result of Schengen. Because the borders have not been secured, the
citizen must now secure his front door. When doctors complain of increasing
aggression, security training and courses in de-escalation are offered –
naturally for the doctors. The migrants can let loose.
Konstantin
Kuhle (FDP): Bingo!
When ever more citizens drive with pepper
spray, then has Germany become more secure? When ever more people dare not go
into no-go areas, it is an anticipation of risk-avoidance on account of the
already prevailing criminality, which is at the cost of the citizens’ living
space. That is total government failure!
The portion of migrants among suspected
perpetrators is 14 percent, for serious crimes still higher; the portion for
the general population is 2 percent. For foreigners, the general crime rate is
over 30 percent; for the general population it is 13 percent. Every third
prisoner is a foreigner. What is the government doing about the excessive
portion of foreign criminality?
Niema
Movassat (Line): Do you know the minor question in Saarland?
You give away quasi-German passports! He who
has such a government need no longer worry about reunification of outlaws!
Konstantin
Kuhle (FDP): Bingo!
Without Frau Merkel’s welcome culture, last
year there would not have been 500 fatal offenses, 1300 rapes and 22,100
dangerous bodily batteries. The perpetrators were at the time refugees. Yet
Frau Merkel’s friendly face was, ja, more important. No wonder the citizens’
sense of insecurity increases.
He who brings into the country a million-strong, high-risk group of young men of cultures from which are acquired a readiness for violence and a contempt for women – without any emergency keyword of “self entry” – he, ladies and gentlemen, manages irresponsibly.
Police personnel in a critical state. There
are also declining numbers in the statistics because there are fewer police to
take reports and enforce control.
Christoph
de Vries (CDU/CSU): There are not fewer police!
Government failure! Court personnel in a
critical state. In 2018, 65 urgent suspects were released because procedures
were not completed in time. They are now running around free. Government
failure! Clan criminality. The Essen police president states: Integration is up
against the wall because many of these people do not at all want to fit in.
These people look upon the state only as loot. In Essen, a clan chief is not
indicted: the security risk is too high! Madhouse Germany 2019!
Niema
Movassat (Linke): That is nonsense, what you are recounting! Fake news!
The Chemnitz perpetrator ought to have been
long since deported: intensive perpetrator, knife attack, 14 aliases, robbery,
assault, drug dealing. Tolerance running out, he was allowed to remain and he
killed. The citizens can pay for Frau Merkel’s friendly face, a deadly negligence of insufficient prevention of danger. And where the despairing
citizens rise up to demonstrate against this injustice, the Chancellor’s office
unleashes an unequaled disinformation campaign and a top security chief who
uncovers this is dismissed as politically inconvenient.
In the security ranking of the 2017 world
economic forum, Germany was in 51st place; two years ago, it was in 20th place.
When Herr Seehofer says that Germany is one of the safest countries in the
world: Yes, ladies and gentlemen – for criminals.
Thank you.
