German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 19/189,
p. 23885.
We agree to the here put forward draft law of the coalition.
The unbelievable pictures of Monday evening from the Vienna Innensatdt make it
once more clear that, without intelligence services and the means of technical
surveillance, we unfortunately may no more manage. Yet the question is not that
we no more may manage without these means of surveillance, but why we may no
more manage without them.
To combat terrorism it is necessary that the problem be
looked at honestly. It is however a matter of consideration if a law which was
meant to be directed at the struggle against Islamist terror, to certify the
reasoning now put forward, shall be extended to meet the challenges of
international and rightist terrorism. In the first place, it makes a unique
impression if, instead of “international Islamist”, the wording is glossed over
as “international”. Secondly, it is unrealistic to present rightist terrorism,
which we all condemn, as a serious threat to the existence of the Federal
Republic of Germany.
Uwe
Kekeritz (Greens): We are of a quite different opinion!
No, ladies and gentlemen, the reprehensible individual acts –
wait! – of the desperadoes of Kassel, Halle and Hanau cannot threaten our state.
These people, thank God, lack social support.
And in terms of the numbers, according to the information
from Europol, rightist terrorism plays a subordinate role. In the yearly report
for 2019, while 26 leftist terrorist and 21 jihadist attacks were
conducted, 6 rightist terrorist attacks were accounted – naturally too many.
Those who in fact threaten this state are of the leftist terrorism; that is,
the attacks of the Antifa, those in the street fighting in Berlin, Hamburg,
Leipzig and elsewhere. It is significant that the leftist terrorists were named
“activists”. Also significant is that the AfD’s motion to ban Indymedia, on
the website of which serious crimes were called for and criminal acts celebrated, was
yesterday by all parties, even the CDU/CSU, rejected in the Interior committee.
“The state shall be de-stabilized”, said Hans-Georg Maasen,
who must go because the left part of this house demanded his head.
Benjamin
Strasser (FDP): Yet Herr Maasen initiated the test proceeding against you!
It is the swamp of a leftist radical society, abundantly
irrigated by so-called government dough, out of which grows up the hateful
plant of leftist terrorism. Those responsible for that also sit in this house.
Also part of the problem is that the media indignation machine simply does not
run if leftist terrorists lay waste to our cities.
And what in fact endangers this state is the Islamist terror
which has been routinely cultivated. For so earnestly must we now take this
menace: These barbaric people could not become dangerous to us if we had not in
every imaginable respect paved the way for them, if the Federal government had
not formally summoned them to us. The support of radical Islamic associations
by the Federal government and the Federal states has led to, following the
attacks in Nice, Dresden and Vienna, that radical Islamists could celebrate
these attacks on our streets and in the social media. Where were the
demonstrations of the moderate Moslems? Right, they are already for long
silenced in this country in which radical Moslems long since set the tone and
real refugees meet their torturers and rapists in the reception camps and on
the streets of Germany.
It is human and, yes, what is more, understandable that the
Union in the grand coalition flatters the leftist opinion and media monopoly. Thus will one then be suddenly
dealt with much more indulgently in the media. And this unholy collaboration
today extends to the leftist parties in this house. The Union must free itself
from the Babylonian captivity of the leftists.
Kerstin
Kassner (Linke): Which was good!
Otherwise, our state has no future or only a dreary one. The
danger threatens from the left and from Islamism. The citizens will hopefully
not first understand that when it is too late.
Many thanks.
