German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 19/225, pp. 28664-28665.
Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable ladies and
gentlemen.
With Wednesday’s debate on the infection defense law, the
AfD has documented that we are the only delegation which stands for the people’s
freedom and self-responsibility in Germany. We are the only ones who want to
defend our children from forced testing and obligatory masks. We are also the
only party which stands for the traditional family of father, mother and
children. This is not regressive, as we could hear recently in the public
broadcasting, but most profoundly modern and a pledge for Germany’s future.
The AfD wants a real paradigm change in family policy.
Grigorious Aggelidis (FDP): Back to the Kaiser Reich!
We want to place families at the center. Families in Germany
need to again be valued; for they are the contributors [Leistungsträger] of our society. With the children, they are
growing Germany’s future. Each morning they get to work; they thereby pay taxes
and duties over-proportionately. We need to say to these fathers and mothers:
You are the foundation of our statecraft.
The consequences of the demographic catastrophe become ever
more obvious. For half a century Germany realizes one of the lowest birth rates
worldwide. Instead of conducting an activist family policy, the government sets
up mass immigration. 2 million people in the last six years have immigrated by
means of the asylum system. This failed demographic policy of our government
has cost billions of euros – money which is lacking for our families; money
which might have been applied to a sustained promotion of families.
The AfD therefore demands that the Federal government
introduce a family splitting: A splitting by which the number of children is
yielded in the income tax and which will also relieve the single parent; a
splitting by which an average family with three children simply pays no more
corresponding taxes. For we also require a strong middle-class and middle-class
families which again dare say yes to children and families.
Families with one or two children should also profit and we
therefore want a family splitting and a child benefit [Kindergeld]. We need strong middle-class families which can again
afford their own four walls. Of the 30 to 40 year olds, only every fourth lives
in his own dwelling.
Sebastian Brehm (CDU/CSU): You have rejected the new home child benefit [Baukindergeld]!
And why? Because the insatiable state digs deep into the
pockets of these people! The families are the milk cow of the nation.
…
Beyond that, we of the AfD wanted in this legislative period
to relieve families as a whole, in that we have demanded an added value tax
privilege of 7 percent on children’s products. And this has been rejected here
by all delegations.
Sebastian Brehm (CDU/CSU): Just not financed.
In 1988, the experts’ council for family questions demanded
a family splitting. It demanded family
starter loans whereby families can better manage the early phase and be
supported. None of these demands have been implemented in the last 30 years.
Invariable only is the structural disregard for the social relations vis-à-vis
families in Germany, and that is sad.
With our motions [Drucksachen
19/28763, 28795] for the introduction of a baby welcome loan and an
interest-free child credit and for family splitting, we want to reduce this
structural disregard vis-à-vis families. They should be at the center of all
political management. I am happy with the family-friendly consultations in
committee.
Many thanks.
