Berlin
Abgeordnetenhaus, September 3, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 18/62, pp. 7404-7406
Herr
President. Honored members. Dear Berliners.
Do you
actually know that since the red-red-green Senate entered office in 2016 that
every fifth Berliner has been the victim of a criminal act? This shocking
number is produced from an inquiry by the INSA opinion research institute in
July of this year. Every fifth, that is around three-quarters of a million
Berliners. Each individual now bears a trauma – robbed, wounded, raped, stolen
from. The red-red-green coddling policy is responsible for that.
The
INSA data clearly shows that under red-red-green the security situation has
clearly deteriorated, whether we are dealing with bodily injury, sexual assault,
drugs, theft, vandalism, armed threats or politically based violence. Nowhere
are more than 10 percent of those asked of the view that under red-red-green
security has changed for the better.
Frank-Christian Hansel (AfD): Hear, hear!
In
all areas, half of those asked are at the moment even of the opinion that the
situation has clearly deteriorated. Let us look at the Berlin coddling justice:
Fewer that half of all Berliners believe that the courts and the judiciary well
or very well safeguard security in the city. The citizens of Berlin still have
real trust only in our police who, despite contrary circumstances, every day
attempt to make the best of the wayward situation in our capital city. For that,
I wish to quite heartily thank our police officers.
Instead
of proceeding effectively with strictness and zero tolerance against criminals,
the police must continue to make do against the everyday brutality with too few
personnel, obsolescent equipment and decaying stations and without any
political backing. Criminals from every country laugh at the so-called
anti-discrimination law. It places our police under a general suspicion and
forces them to treat suspects with velvet gloves, or better yet simply no
longer pursue them. A contrary, multi-cultural ideology makes the Senate the
darling of the criminals, stigmatizes the police as perpetrators and victimizes
the normal citizens. Many of them, especially young women, no longer go out at
night and meanwhile even in the daytime avoid certain streets and parts of the
city.
While
a couple of years ago we were still speaking of specific, so-called criminal
hot-spots, in the meantime large parts of Berlin have become places of fear. The
INSA numbers also support that. 16 percent of Berliners who were victims of a
crime declare that they no longer report crimes. In the past four years, there
were approximately 120,000 crimes not reported. An additional 19 percent
declare that they report only most crimes; of which, an additional 145,000. In
sum, it means that each year countless crimes occur which emerge in no
statistic. And the Senate? It defends itself with hand and foot against the
Dunkelfeld study, for years demanded by the AfD delegation, which would show
the costs of crime in Berlin.
Yet
that is naturally no surprise; thus, what can continue to remain in obscurity,
what simply is not allowed to be, and in no case should be admitted to the
light of day – for example, those posing a potential Islamist threat. Almost
four years after the terror attack in the Breitscheid Platz, they can,
unhindered as always, do just as they please, just what they want. Twelve
people died that time, almost 100 people were wounded, a portion seriously and
continue to suffer the consequences.
What
has changed since then? Nothing. The only realistic measure in this case would
be deportation. Yet for red-red-green that is and remains taboo. And for that
the citizens of Berlin pay the price. You…finance the livings of radical
migrants who are often found hiding out in the city’s asylum centers…That is by
far not all. Large parts of the city are dominated by around 10,000 members of
the mostly Arabic clans. Our children and grandchildren meanwhile can buy drugs
almost everywhere in Berlin as openly as bonbons or bread rolls. The result:
Almost 15 percent of all drug deaths in Germany occur in our city, although
only about 4.4 percent of the total population live in Berlin.
And
then there is the politically motivated, extremist criminals, primarily the
leftist extremists, tolerated for decades, of the so-called house occupation
scene. In certain circles of our city, it has long been considered correct to
be on good terms with them. That however alters nothing of the fact that these
people are dangerous, violent perpetrators and lawbreakers who do not shrink
from murder and deadly assault. For once ask the targeted neighbors who each
day must live with property damage, threats and encroachments, or the owners of
countless autos burnt in Berlin. We know whereof we speak. At the same time
comes the order from on high: Our police are not allowed to intervene.
Inconceivable! And when an operation is once again permitted, the officers are
struck with a brutal violence lacking nothing of that of Islamist terrorists.
Left-green
politicians have long since forgotten the Berlin police officer assigned to the
syndicate disturbance and who still struggles for his eyesight. We here wish
him a good recovery. – It is telling, I really must say, that you also do not
applaud. Unbelievable, unbelievable! – Instead, these politicians even rejoice
and esteem the development of lawless areas in the Rigaer- and Liebigstrasse as
part of the reconstruction of a once functioning city into an apparently diverse,
open-air laboratory experiment. A laboratory experiment long since out of
control and which can only be stopped with the most radical measures – a viewpoint
besides shared by every normal citizen around.
Frank-Christian Hansel (AfD): Even
the Greens!
Even
Herrmann, the Green district mayor of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, this week
demanded more police for her district because the district is increasingly
neglected and now, in addition to problems with drugs, come trash heaps in the
streets and parks. For that, she holds responsible her red-red-green comrades
on the government bench. Only, this news does not matter to the chief
ideologues of the Senate administration. It simply does not fit into a
left-green-socialist worldview.
Only
in this city will harsh measures be called for should there be critics of the
proper policy. Tens of thousands of peaceful Corona demonstrators were
purposely criminalized and stigmatized because, many hundreds of meters away,
crazies waved imperial and Turkish flags on the steps of the Reichstag and
recited nonsense.
Sven Heinemann (SPD): The AfD was
also there!
Hakan Taş (Linke): Where was the
AfD?
That
is in no way to express approval, yet this group was clearly not a danger to
Berliners and certainly not to our democracy.
President Ralf Wieland: Herr Pazderski, may I ask
you whether an interim question
of the member - ?
of the member - ?
No,
I want to bring this to an end.
Our
democracy would be in a bad way if it could be endangered by a few hundred
loonies, quite probably prevailed upon by undercover men. There are
complications which are now being politically used as a diversion from the
incompetence of an overwhelmed Interior Minister. Yet that will not succeed. It
was he who wished to forbid, on untenable grounds, a demonstration by
cross-section of the people.
Anne Helm (Linke): The fascists have
understood that! They tried that!
It
was he, along with the radical spirits, who first called up the plan. And it
was he, in common with his police leadership, appointed and over-burdened by
the red-red-green Senate, who was not capable of developing a usable operations
concept for this past weekend. And all of that was at the cost of the mass of
peaceful demonstrators who now, quite precisely and maliciously, will be placed
in a false light. And all of that on the backs of the Berlin police who must
suffer for this devastating failure.
Herr
Geisel, you are the symbol of the failures of the red-red-green Senate all
along the line. Now you attempt, still the coward, to slink away from political
responsibility. Take your hat and leave at last the political stage of this
city. We have no need of an old cadre of the SED.
Sven Heinemann (SPD): Shamelessness!
Go to the devil!
President Ralf Wieland: Herr colleague, I draw your
attention,
that your speaking time is at an end.
that your speaking time is at an end.
You
are incapable and cause by your every official act additional damage. You are
responsible for the fact that red-red-green in regards the defense of the
safety of the citizen has miserably failed.
(Cries from the SPD): For which part
of your delegation have you now spoken?
The
truth hurts, I know!
