AfD Kompakt, November 29, 2021.
[Anne] Spiegel has already done desolate work in
Rheinland-Pfalz. Since 2016, the Minister bore responsibility in the Family as
well as in the Environment Ministry. Here, she was primarily connected with
failures resulting from the Ahr flooding.
Just hours before the catastrophe, her Ministry gave out fully
false press announcements. Though the situation might be “tense”, no “extreme
flooding” threatened. At that point in time, the scale of the approaching
catastrophe was long since known; EFAS, the European flood warning authority, had
in good time declared a warning. Instead of passing this along to the
population so as to make it possible for people to convey goods and chattel to
safety, Spiegel’s Ministry played down
the danger. A total of 134 people fell victim to the flooding. The investigating
committee should now clarify Spiegel’s responsibility.
To arrive at the idea, at this point in time, to happen to
convey to Spiegel responsibility for a Federal ministry is irresponsible. It
would be urgently necessary to await the result of the investigating committee.
There is already in Rheinland-Pfalz an abundance of irregularities; as for
example in regards the appointment to positions or the commissioning of outside
consultants. She did not understand her office as Family and Environment
Minister as an opportunity to support our families but to drive forward the
Greens’ migration policy. The Greens would not have been able to come
upon a worse choice of personnel. With a regard to all the other Green
ministries, a trend is here nevertheless pursued which will do maximum harm to
our country.
