German
Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/8, pp. 357-359.
Right
honorable Herr President. Right honorable Herr Chancellor. Worthy ladies and
gentlemen.
The noisy
false start, into which your government cobbled together out of left-green
blockheads and capitulated liberals has fallen flat, seeks its own kind.
Jan Korte (Linke): Totally left, ja!
From the
first minute, you and your ministers go on a confrontation course with the
reality, with the freedom, with the civil rights, with the citizens and with
the European neighbors and partners.
Herr Habeck
and his State Secretary have undertaken as a first project the annulment of the
defense of species so as to be able to clutter the country even more densely with
windmills. The defense of nature and species as a sign of sympathy has
obviously lost meaning in regards the Greens.
The
unspeakable censorship law, the NetzDG, the FDP still wanted to abolish during
the election campaign. Now they present the Justice Minister who even wants to
intensify the application of the NetzDG.
Interior
Minister Fraeser, scarcely in office, declares rightist extremism to be the
greatest danger. – I knew that you would applaud that. – The omnipresent
leftist and Islamic extremism occurs to you exactly as little as in the entire
red-green-yellow coalition contract, with not one word. Of the recent, with
difficulty prevented Islamist terror attack in Hamburg, we still have heard to
this day no word from the Interior Minister.
This same
Interior Minister came back from Brussels with the pledge that of 40,000
Afghans who for undiscoverable reasons shall be resettled in the EU, to haul
25,000 of the same to Germany alone – Spain and France undertake just one tenth
of this number – and that, even though the number of asylum applications
moreover again strongly increases, and Germany by far throughout Europe accepts
the most asylum applications. It is thus clear. Germany continues not only
along the previous government’s Sonderweg
as a migration magnet – in this dead end, your government gives it full gas.
The same
moral presumption is stuck behind the instructions which Frau Baerbock believes
it necessary to impart to the Poles because the country of Poland takes
seriously its European responsibility and effectively defends the EU external
border against illegal migration.
Herr Lindner
of the FDP capitulation party, who in the distant past spoke gladly and much of
solid state finances and promised them, puts forward as a first a supplementary
budget of 60 billion euros.
Stefan Keuter (AfD): 60 billion! Hear! Hear!
As notary of
the approaching green-red spending orgies, the Federal Finance Minister thus
diverts over-sized credit authorizations of his predecessor and of the Chancellor
so as to be able in the future to squander yet more money on a Green planned
economy of climate protection and energy transition. What a start in office,
with unserious and unconstitutionally considered financial trickeries!
Four years
ago, Herr Lindner, it was still enjoined by you: Better to just not govern than
to govern badly. Today the motto reads: The main thing is to sit in the
government as stirrup-holder for green-left projects and fantasies of
omnipotence. Of the erstwhile spirit of the FDP – it needs here for once be
clearly said – is there nothing, as though just nothing of the rest remained.
Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): What a nonsense! Hear! Hear!
Amidst these
dissonant concerts stands as choirmaster a Chancellor who before all does one
thing well: Keeps quiet, before all on his own failings, from Cum-Ex, through
Wirecard, to the Warburg Bank’s tax and spend affairs in the millions. And your
oracular ambiguities of the Merkel kind do not make the matter better. You say,
you were also the Chancellor of the non-vaccinated, and thereby precisely sort
out the citizens into brave vaccinated and non-vaccinated deviants who you want
to compel to good conduct. Exactly that is the choice of words of a Chancellor
of division.
The most
striking voter fraud have you committed even before taking office, entering on
the vaccination obligation, still high and holy denied a few weeks ago. The
supplementary law for the Infection Protection Act was flogged through against
all good parliamentary usage, with additional heavy restrictions of basic
rights for an unforeseeable time. It is easy to see through why you were so
quick about it. The virus of course does not concern itself with your
preventive measures, your continual evermore which hitherto has not functioned.
You want to establish, beyond the constitution, an undeclared state of
permanent exception. And you fear that the panic spread by you may too quickly
ebb away if the infection events, even without your doings, again recede.
You use a
long-term panic and state of exception so that less will be spoken of what your
government otherwise still has on the agenda: A migration policy which even
more than the previous government opens the door to migration into the social
system, which by means of the grandiose expansion of naturalization [Einbürgerung] and family unification
makes irreversible facts, a climate protection policy which is placed above all
economic and social areas and which by means of state control and state money
distribution flows into socialism and a climate-planned economy and the
impoverishment of broad classes of the population, into energy insecurity and
foreseeable blackouts, a European policy which wants to know nothing of one’s
own national interests, which further constructs the debts and transfer union
to the disadvantage of the German taxpayer and which wants to reconstruct the
EU into a European Federal State.With this wish for the dissolution of one’s
own national state into a European central state, you moreover stand forth
fully alone in Europe. According to you, all of this stands under the slogan of
“Transformation”.
Yet such a
usurpation of power is not the duty of a democratic government which serves the
citizens. To the real cares and necessities which revolve about the wholly
normal citizens of this country, you have no answer. The inflation runs out of
control and impoverishes Mittelstand and middle-class. The ECB is helpless. It
needed to counteract with higher interest rates, yet sits imprisoned in the
ruins of a state and business financing of zero and negative interest rates,
which besides is actually forbidden to central banks. Instead of relieving the
citizens, your government drives taxes as well as fuel and energy prices to the
extreme. That is irresponsible, right honorable ladies and gentlemen.
The angst is
about the workplace. You however huff and puff in the name of climate protection
for a general assault on the productive industrial core and the energy supply
of this country. You even look with satisfaction upon the downfall of the
automobile and supplier industry and squander tax money for a green-left
identity policy with which you create jobs for your lobby groups at the cost of
the general public.
The domestic
security erodes. Before escalating knife violence, crimes of brutality and the
growing insecurity in the streets, you close your eyes. You therefore
criminalize with the greater gusto protests critical of the government. While
law-abiding citizens may set foot in no restaurant without a vaccination pass,
the borders remain open for illegal immigrants, even without identification
documents. It is an unsustainable, fully illegal politics which this government
aggravates and perpetuates.
Herr
Chancellor Scholz, your government in the first days has made abundantly clear
where the journey with this coalition shall go. It is a wrong-way drive.
Correct this course. Concern yourself for the maintenance of the laws, the
reconstruction of justice. Unify this country, instead of further dividing it.
I am grateful.
