German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/16,
p. 1073.
Herr President. Valued colleagues.
In this country, there is allowed no place for any kind of
extremism – this should actually be a consensus in this house. Two years have already
gone by since Hanau’s act of blood to which ten persons fell victim before the
perpetrator killed himself, a day which will be in the memory of as good as
every citizen and in which all Germany was shocked and stood in mourning with
the survivors of the victims.
The perpetrator’s sick worldview was displayed in some
videos on his YouTube channel and in his manifesto which he published on his
internet site. The evidently psychologically deeply disturbed perpetrator
expressed abstruse conspiracy theories besides racist ideas. He was since his
birth under observation by a secret service which can read his thoughts and
remotely control other people. It also maintains underground military bases in
the U.S.A. in which children were tortured and the devil worshipped. It even
plans, by means of a time warp, to fly into the past so as to destroy the Earth
before life can develop on it. – So much so as to give only one small look into
his mad imaginations.
It is truly absurd to want to make a connection with the Alternative
für Deutschland to this world of ideas, yet nothing can be absurd enough for
the political rivals so as not to make political cheap change from this
horrific act. As an example, I want to cite the colleague Konstantin Kuhle who, ja, gladly raised the moral forefinger,
Konstantin Kuhle (FDP): What did I assert?
who on Twitter wrote verbatim:
The Hanau perpetrator’s pamphlet reads like a speech of Gottfried Curio (AfD) in the German Bundestag.
Bernd Baumann (AfD): Phooey!
No comment.
The question before us today is: Would it have been possible
to prevent the act in Hanau and which lessons herefrom may we draw for the
future? By a more exact inspection of the chronology is disclosed an entire
series of cases of substantial failures on the part of officials. Already in
the year 2002, an initial recognition of psychic disturbance was attained when
the perpetrator made a report to the Oberfranken police praesidium on the basis
that he was listened to by means of the wall socket in his dwelling. The office
doctor thereupon presented a psychosis from schizophrenic conditions with
paranoid content and recommended the immediate initiation of psychiatric care.
He was released from the hospital without treatment on the same evening. In
2004, he made an additional paranoid report. There followed further
investigations on account of diverse infractions; for example, on account of an
attack on a watchman at the Bayreuth University and on account of drug
smuggling. Despite all of this, he in the year 2013 received a weapons
possession card which, after further investigations on account of negligent
incendiarism and renewed drug smuggling, was not withdrawn.
Bernd
Baumann (AfD): Unbelievable!
Chief officials themselves first acquired knowledge of the
perpetrators mental state when, shortly before his act in November 2019, a
crime report was filed at the Federal attorney’s office against an unknown
secret service organization, the content of which is in large part identical
with the abstruse manifesto of which I previously made mention. That this case
presumably would have been able to be prevented with psychiatric treatment
rather than with extremism prevention naturally should not mean that extremism
prevention would not be urgently indicated.
From the statistics of the Federal Criminal Office for
politically motivated criminality may be gathered alarming numbers which should
concern us all. From the area of “politically motivated criminality”, I want to
name representative numbers for offenses of bodily injury and homicide from the
year 2020: 1,092 offenses from the right and 1,526 from the left.
Gabriele Katzmarek (SPD): And now?
In comparison with the previous year, we note an increase of
10.75 percent for rightist acts of violence and a full 45.06 percent for
leftist acts of violence. That our new Interior Minister Faeser has published
an article in the “antifa” magazine of the leftist extremist VVN-BdA allows to
hope of nothing good related to the combating of leftist extremism.
In any case is to be named the alarming potential of persons
in the area of Islamism/Islamist terrorism in the 2020 report of the Constitution
Defense. The relevant security circuits of the common analysis and strategy
center for illegal migration – for short: GASIM – now fear a rapid increase in
the numbers of those posing a danger on the basis of the Ampel coalition’s immigration policy, namely that of Ministers
Faeser and Baerbock. Yet this is still to be spoken of.
In conclusion, it remains for all of us, hopefully, that we
in the future succeed in preventing such horrific acts as those in Hanau. Our
thoughts are with the victims and the survivors.
Many thanks.
