Gottfried Curio, December 1, 2022, German Citizenship

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/73, pp. 8538-8539.

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen.

The prerequisites for the acquisition of German citizenship are completely razed. Integration requirements: Down! Basic knowledge of civics: Down! Time periods: Almost halved. The intended target groups are thereby in no way either economically or culturally integrated. That is indeed unfortunately the reason for ever again lowering the requirements for residence, for citizenship. Over-proportionately represented are receipt of social assistance, criminality, a forgoing of education. All these problems of the immigrants shall be hushed up with a sleight of hand by which the numbers will be incorporated into the total German population. In that regard, according to a poll, two-thirds of Germans want no simplification of naturalization [Einbürgerung]. Yet the government, with Brecht, asks: Would it not be most simple to abolish the people and select another?

The Ampel now takes that seriously. It wants to make faits accomplis and, as to the foreigners imported and fed since 2015, finally also direct their voting. After just five or even three years they receive citizenship. The language and Einbürgerung test will simply be eliminated for those who for long are here, with whose knowledge of German it is apparently preferable not to reckon. Arrangement in the German lifestyle? No more a theme. Islamic polygamy? No problem. Yet an Islamization does not occur. Poor Germany, ladies and gentlemen.

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): Are you called “Ahmet”, or are you still not Islamized?

Merkel sowed in 2015. Now is harvest time.

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): What is that then for a motto?

When sufficient new citizens have been created, the interdiction of the German journey begins. The German voter population shall be determined by an army of foreign social assistance recipients. First, half the world will be enticed by increased social benefits – here, sold as the tear-inducing “refuge” – , then all the unentitled receive the residence permission as an “opportunity”, then, simply by expiration of time, the German passport. The whole is a coup d’état in the voter demography, ladies and gentlemen.

Minister Faeser asserts: He who wants a passport gives a strong avowal for Germany, says yes to a free society, Basic Law and equality of rights. Nein, he does not say it. He much more accepts the right to vote so as to change the country. And as a sign that full integration is simply no more a prerequisite, that the right to vote can be much more easily seized in the short-term, the whole is in form an anti-integration law.  

Thereby he who takes in hand the right to decide the direction of the country should actually be a democracy pro. Yet the people come from a political-cultural circumstance which is entirely foreign to our concepts, which will certainly quite clearly not intensify these ideas in five or indeed three years, if at all. In truth, it needs be turned around: First must a real integration ensue, and be an endeavour for citizenship – and not the other way round.

            Götz Frömming (AfD): Jawohl! That is so!

            Till Steffen (Greens): You must first integrate yourselves!. That would help!

No pain, no gain. You are squandering the passport on the insufficiently integrated. That is a construction program for parallel societies, ladies and gentlemen.

             Till Steffen (Greens): You are the parallel society!

Accordingly, any reason for a more rapid acquisition of citizenship cannot at all be named. To now want to rapidly name simply all as Germans only shows a contempt for one’s own people. Of identification with the nation, its values, history, culture – not a word. In the coalition contract is wanted a campaign which extra advertises for acquisition of citizenship. That need is obviously greater on the part of the parties than in regards those actually addressed. It is about a presumed choice of the voters for one’s own party. For that, the fate of Germany is sold dirt cheap. Comrades without a fatherland, like it is in the book, ladies and gentlemen.  

The Chancellor complains: Nine million citizens live and work without citizenship. – The truth: Of almost 12 million, 4.5 million work. Yet not only the quantity is lacking but also the quality. He should be naturalized who decides for identification with Germany.

            Konstantin Kuhle (FDP): Then you need to be deprived of citizenship!

What does one do for that? The double passport is made the rule, the plain opposite. Which means the Basic Law, with the people, is not first of all origin and bearer of the nation’s statehood. These plans are plainly unconstitutional.  

The FDP – at a low in the polls – which already gave the nod to this in the coalition contract, now suddenly simulates a bellyache. Yet only the time point is not acceptable; they find the content okay. Ladies and gentlemen, since 2005 we have a net emigration of Germans, yet immigration is drummed up. Pure population replacement! The most frequent comment below articles for an Einbürgerung offensive is: I emigrate. – No wonder should one trample underfoot the country when departing.

Yet the Chancellor knows: For the most concerned, the Einbürgerung celebration belongs to what he has experienced. Devoid of all substantial argument, one falls back on a sob story. It becomes an evil when one hears so much emotion: You should consider voting for German citizenship. – He means of course: Voting for the SPD.

The fact is: The more foreigners immigrate and are naturalized, the more Germans emigrate because the taxes to finance the fun are too high. The whole is a unique skilled labor expulsion law. It is the Ampel for foreigners. Yet no one need vote for it; since there is still the Alternative for Germans.

I thank you.

            Till Steffen (Greens): Good night!
