German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/76,
pp. 9056-9057.
Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. Dear countrymen.
In May of this year, there was an economy destruction
minister, formally a children’s book author, who made known to an astonished
German public that on December 22, 2022, Germany will join in the oil embargo
against Russia and will receive no more oil through the pipeline for purely ideological
reasons; since the acquisition of oil through the pipeline was by the EU
sanctions expressly admitted for all.
As was made clear to him that the eastern German refineries,
primarily the PCK Schwedt, would then need to stop production whereby the
supply of fuel and lubricants and chemical intermediary products would be collapsed
throughout eastern Germany, he sent his not a little well endowed waiter who
promised the blue or green heaven to the displaced people of Schwedt: Crude oil
would continue to come to Schwedt, if in the meantime in smaller quantities;
the jobs of around 2,000 employees would be secured by a job guaranty. He then
crowned the whole with the sentence – cite: “Here, the lights do not go out
immediately”, which means that they then go out later.
This point in time appears now to have come; since none of
the promises made were fulfilled. Neither were the replacement oil deliveries
by contract with Poland secured, nor were the corresponding transport means for
the required quantities built. A comparable quality of crude oil is at the
moment not deliverable. Solely the jobs guarantees – that is, money for doing
nothing – were brought well on the way. Yet even that is not sure.
In other words: The green Federal government has planned and
implemented the equivalent of the Neurippen state’s attorney now classifying
the “Last Generation” climate terrorists as a criminal association, placing
this under indictment and conducting house searches of the climate terrorists. The
foregoing is based on the repeated efforts to stop the crude oil supply of the
PCK Schwedt – thus, the exact same thing that the Federal government is doing.
The Neurippen state’s attorney bases his proceedings on that
it concerns the formation and support of a criminal association according to §129
of the criminal code and that the group evidences a “clear role distribution
and a continuous structure”. Here also, the similarities are not purely
accidental. The only difference is that the Federal government is the executive
of a state of law, yet more and more re-interprets, indeed abuses this law.
In this connection may Pope Benedict be recalled when a good eleven years ago here in the Bundestag he wrote to the members in the album, if in another connection, the words of Saint Augustine – cite:
Take away the law – what then is the state other than a great band of robbers..
And he was right.
Bernhard
Herrmann (CDU/CSU): Shameful!
Stefan Schmidt
(Greens): That is below even your level!
Yet there is something positive. The warnings to the
conservative forces in the Union apparently have provided for a partial reconsideration;
since in your motion, which today is brought in for the PCK Schwedt, you find
fault not only with the lack of replacement quantities of agreed quality and at
fair prices, but also before all with the absence of any legal basis for the
embargo. The embargo and all sanctions thus need to go. That this is possible
with this government is held by many citizens to be excluded. They hold this
government, plainly because it whistles at law and statute, to be – cite: “a
great band of robbers”.
The only way to make reasonable policy for Germany is when
the conservative forces are finally gathered together, as occurred in my
constituency of Bautzen this week. In the local council, almost the entire CDU
delegation voted for an AfD motion to eliminate voluntary integration benefits
for rejected asylum applicants; and thereby, first, relieve the budget and,
second, turn down the magnets for asylum claimants. This example hopefully sets
a precedent [macht Schule] in all of
Germany, for Germany.
Sepp Müller (CDU/CSU): You can proceed on the basis that it will not be! Definitely not, not for us!
