Herr
President. Ladies and gentlemen.
In
September, as of the 28th of the month, 162 people in Germany have
died of or with Covid-19. That is a bit less than six per day. Seven people
among us die each day in traffic accidents.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Is that
the reason why you are not wearing a mask?
I
am unaware of any government measures against driving. Besides, 620 people die
of cancer each day.
Ulli Nissen (SPD): Every single
death is too many!
Consider
for once what is carcinogenic and all that must or could still be forbidden to
the citizens.
The
infection figures with which the public is bombarded each day are of little
meaning. What exactly is missed by the PCR test is disputed. Most of the
infected did not at all notice that they were infected. Besides, our colleague
Norbert Kleinwacher is doing well. He said that Corona was his lightest case of
the flu ever.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): I believe
there is no help for the man!
As
the Bavarian government on September 21 decided to make wearing a mask
obligatory in public places, there were to be found in Bavarian hospitals a
total of 35 patients with serious symptoms.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): How dumb
and irresponsible!
If
with a flattened increase of new infections, the number of sick and dead
remains appreciably low, it can only be inferred that the danger of infection
is indeed not especially great.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): So speaks
one who goes about the floor without a mask!
I
do not wish to thereby say, dear colleagues, that the virus is not dangerous
and that we should ignore it but it is so that in the measures against it,
proportionality is no longer to be discerned. But you seem to have acquired a
taste for your bans and proscriptions. Before all, a southern German
Minister-president – I leave aside his name for the moment – discovers his
authoritarian side. The Federal Chancellor has plainly announced that she wants
to proceed with force in heavily affected areas. Sometimes, for all that, the
DDR up-bringing breaks through.
Martin Schulz (SPD): Unbelievable!
An impudence!
I
have already for weeks said here that the overwhelming majority in our
country are dealing very reasonably with the infection danger.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): But still
not you!
It
is becoming time to end the circumscription of the Basic Law and turn over the
preventive measures to the private responsibility of the citizens.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): You are here in
parliament quite without a mask! You are the bad example!
Hold
your tongue, Frau Haßelmann. Ladies and gentlemen, we are presently registering
– it has been said all day today – the strongest breakdown of the business
cycle in the post-war era.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): How
painful! Uncollegial!
How
does the Federal Minister for the Economy react to that?
Michael Theurer (FDP): Absolutely
not!
At
the beginning of the month, Herr Altmaier announced with a 20 point paper
nothing less than the dawn of the socialist climate planned economy. By 2050,
Germany’s economy shall be climate neutral. For that, there are now multi-year
plans of un-blessed memory for the reduction of CO2. Moreover, Herr
Altmaier wishes to expand into a European instrument the Renewable Energy Law
which has bestowed upon us the world’s highest electricity prices – the German
consumer pays 32.10 cents per kilowatt hour, on the international scale it is
12.22 cents.
With
Nord Stream 2, we certainly see an example of the insecurities into which leads
the green energy policy supported by the Federal government. A political affair
endangers the future German energy supply. Yet the actual origin lies in the
fact that Germany, – it is today once again to be said –
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Then you
need not say it!
under
the leadership of a physicist, has withdrawn initially from atomic energy and
then from coal power. If now even the gas were lacking, then we would
experience an unpleasant winter. Yet many believe that jumping may help. We
stand quite clearly behind Mecklenburg Minister-president Schwesig and plead
for the completion of Nord Stream 2.
A
dubious poisoning, which in point of fact is to be clarified, cannot seriously
be the reason to endanger the energy supply of our country. And we learn again
how senseless and false it was to shut down the world’s safest atomic power
plants and deliver us over into a fatal, political dependency.
Ladies
and gentlemen, he who wants to reduce the global CO2 output will not
manage it without atomic power. Our Dutch neighbors have recognized that. When
will we finally relinquish the energy policy Sonderweg
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Address yourself to the
reality in Germany! We have long since withdrawn!
which
makes us liable to political and economic extortion? Yes, we have for long been
liable to political extortion by means of the so-called Turkey deal. The same
migration lobbyist who in 2016 contrived this business may contrive a new
edition if demanded by Anne Will. He who today gives money to Herr Erdogan
thereby finances nolens volens his
wars; first in Syria and now Bergkarabach.
Recently,
there have been media reports that Turks living in Germany have been spied upon
and threatened by the Turkish secret service. What is the relation to that of
the EU, our great community of values? The EU parliamentarian Manfred Weber
already in 2019 quite rightly demanded, dear colleagues of he CDU/CSU, a halt
to accession negotiations with Turkey. A dictator like Herr Erdogan is not a
partner but an opponent of the EU and of Europe.
Apropos
community of values: Opposed to almost all other Europeans, the Federal
government apparently wishes to draw no lessons from the crisis of 2015 with
all its consequences. Astonishingly, the Frau Chancellor has today in that
regard said that we must always strongly commit to multilateralism – only, in this
question, we do not do that. While the government and the parties in the
Bundestag debate how many migrants Germany should accept from the Greek camps,
a good 250,000 migrants must actually be deported from Germany because they
have no right of residence. There are more people staying here illegally than
there are soldiers in the Bundeswehr.
Sweden
in 2016 had a good 160,000 refugees and thereby, in relation to size of
population, accepted more people than Germany. “My Europe builds no walls”, the
social-democratic premier Löfven said. A few days ago, the Swedish vice-chief
of police drew a gloomier picture of the imported criminality. He meanwhile
designated the foreign clans as a systemic threat. Sweden has made up its mind
on a consequential policy against undesired immigrants. The same goes for Herr
Kurz and for the Visegrad states as well. To this question, there will be no
European solution and, dear friends, das
ist gut so!
... He who wants legal
immigration must prevent illegal immigration. And he must prosecute smugglers
of the crime of aiding and abetting. The association “Gemeinsam Retten e.V.” which in common with the Evangelical Church
finances the ship “Sea-Watch-4” was besides lead by the life partner of Frau Göring-Eckardt.
Yet she has also characterized these people as a “gift”.
It
is right to send ships and to rescue the people from the smuggler boats.
Nevertheless, these people ought not be brought to Europe and thereby attract
ever more migrants. The EU must establish a maritime blockade in the
Mediterranean, stop all boats on the high seas in the vicinity of Libya and
Tunisia, take in all women and children and return the rest. Asylum procedures
should be conducted exclusively in Africa. So and only so can we prevent that
people drown in the Mediterranean and refugee camps burn. I hope that soon more
people in this house accompany us in this way.
I
am grateful.
