AfD Kompakt, October 14, 2021.
With eyes open, Germany slides straight into the next
economic crisis. The effects of the seriously distorted global supply chains and
the intensified shortages in key raw materials and intermediate products are
not quite yet to be seen in their entire impetus.
Mittelstand and
middle-class run this winter into a mill of wide-ranging price increases,
exploding energy costs and grinding high taxes and duties on one side, and on
the other a menacing unemployment as a result of the decline and upheaval of
entire branches.
In such a situation, it must be of the highest political
priority to minimize the state pressure on the citizens, to set aside costly,
ideological projects with dubious outcomes like the “energy transition” and CO2
taxation, and to give citizens, taxpayers and the Mittelstand economy more air to breathe.
In the sounding-out negotiations for the formation of the
next government, instead of tax reduction and the return to pragmatic reason,
the talk is primarily of new costs, prohibitions and ideo-political planning,
while additional billions will be blithely distributed to all the world and the
public will be kept at a trot with absurd discourses over “racism”, gender
gaga, new, incomprehensible Corona regulations and an extortionary pressure
upon those not vaccinated.
The denial of reality by establishment politics and
mainstream media, in view of the real and concrete problems and challenges for
our country, is by degrees rupturing every imaginative power [sprengt allmählich jede Vorstellungskraft].
