AfD Kompakt, March 10, 2022.
Everyone knows the horrifying pictures of the dust-covered
bodies of children who mostly with bare hands dig the demanded cobalt from the
earth. Yet all my motions to ban child labor from the production of raw
materials in Third World countries have failed – just as in the previous
negotiations in the [European Parliament] environment committee and yesterday
in the vote in plenary session. My motions on the corresponding articles in the
decree were rejected with an overwhelming majority by precisely those who do
not tire of emphasizing their ostensible social responsibility. ALL German
members were among the no votes and few abstentions, except of course my
colleagues of the AfD; once at least, Frau Nicola Beer of the FDP voted for one
of my motions.
The mendacity of the moralizing climate rescuers in this
situation is for me fully unbearable – not only as a mother of two children.
Allowance is made for children who lose their health and not seldom their life
buried in unsafe tunnels so that the self-righteous climate clientele can
continue to feel better with their electric luxury cars. All who have voted
against my motions place their political self-interest above the welfare of
children. They should every morning be utterly ashamed to look in the mirror.
