Who like Germany suffers from helper’s syndrome can accept
no leadership role in Europe and overtake responsibility for the the future of
the continent. Chancellor Scholz’s demand in his speech is amiss.
Germany in the past has in regards migration, the euro and
now the Ukraine often sought to help other countries and to find solutions for
their problems without thereby sufficiently taking into consideration its own
interests. It has thereby neglected its own needs and harmed itself. This
relationship is not only detrimental for Germany itself but also for Europe as
a whole.
It is time that Germany freed itself from this helper’s
syndrome and concentrated itself on its own interests and needs. Only so can it
in the long-term contribute to Europe’s welfare. That would be an authentic day
of liberation for Germany and a day of celebration for Europe.
I therefore demand of the German government to pursue a new
policy which is based on a realistic valuation of its own interests and needs.
Only so can Germany, conscious of its responsibility, play a constructive role
in Europe.
