Alice Weidel, November 28, 2023, Crisis

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/139 pp. 17646-17648. 

Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable Chancellor. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen. 

Not two years Ampel, and Germany is stuck in a permanent crisis and stands on the edge of insolvency. This breach of the constitution is unexampled in the history of Germany. 

            Ralf Stegner (SPD): Unexampled is your stupidity!

The citizens in this situation did not await your government declaration, Herr Scholz, but your resignation declaration. Two-thirds of Germans want there finally be an end to this Ampel. That this government is still in office shows your contempt for the sovereign, the citizens. 

They have enough of a Chancellor who with ostensible memory lapses wants to wiggle out of his entanglement in one of the Republic’s largest tax fraud scandals where evidence vanishes. 

They have enough of an economic illiterate as Economy Minister who ruins the economy and who expropriates the citizens by means of a heating diktat

They have enough of a Foreign Minister who expends 100,000 euros per year for her styling, yet stumbles from one diplomatic disaster to the next. 

            Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP): We have enough of you, Frau Weidel!

It is wondrous that you of the FDP again bellow there. They also of course have enough of an FDP Finance Minister who issues unconstitutional budgets so as to finance this green ship of fools and who wants to abolish the debt brake. 

            Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus (FDP): Such idiocy!

And they have enough of an Interior Minister who herself is the greatest security risk because she does not want to defend the borders and the citizens. 

This coalition governs against reason, against reality, against the will and the welfare of the citizens. 

            Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP): Against you!

And it governs against our constitution. 

We are stuck in the deepest economic crisis since there was a Federal Republic of Germany. The de-industrialization is fully underway. One insolvency tsunami after another rolls across our country. That is your work, the work of your planned economy minister and your highly subsidized energy transition and climate policy. 

You make energy more expensive by means of state intervention, then distribute subventions to parts of industry, while you leave the Mittelstand hanging with horrendous energy prices and, by means of CO2 duties and a transportation fee increase, additionally raise the prices. This intervention spiral leads directly to impoverishment. Businesses, normal earners and pensioners bleed for your transformation. You yourselves break your promise not to again raise the value-added tax for the restaurant trade. You thereby give the death blow to the hospitality industry. 

            Matthias W. Birkwald (Linke): She’s right, there!

Your citizens wage [Bürgergeld] makes the social crisis acute: The diligent are punished. No wonder that in entire branches valuable labor forces flee from the tax and duties spiral into the Bürgergeld

            Matthias W. Birkwald (Linke): That is just rubbish!

He who works is the dummy and no longer bends his back for himself and his, but for profiteers from all the world. 

62 percent of families receiving Bürgergeld have no German passport. Your Bürgergeld is a labeling swindle. It is migrant money, an immigration magnet. 

The migration crisis brings our country to the edge of collapse. Almost half a million social migrants this year alone, figuring together the asylum applications and family reunification – according to official numbers, that costs 50 billion euros per year. You shelter these masses of  people in luxury hotels and quarter them in old folks homes, while the normal earner and pensioner scarcely make ends meet. 

Despite that, you leave the door wide open and believe you can again pacify the people by ineffective action for action’s sake. Yet citizens feel in their bones that uncontrolled mass immigration has led to an encompassing security crisis. 

Many more Germans than immigrants become victims of crimes of homicide, violence and brutality than the reverse. Violent crime explodes, the number of foreign perpetrators also. 

For women, the public space has become an area of risk which they prefer to avoid. The crime statistics record more than two brutal gang rapes per day. What have you let loose on our people? For the decay of the domestic security, you of the CDU and CSU bear exactly so the responsibility. 

And for once rouse yourselves over the imported, Islamist Judenhass; that it, as you might have noticed, exists. You have hauled hundreds of thousands of young men into the country who are socialized in violence-prone cultures hostile to Jews. 

            Sven-Christian Kindler (Greens): With hostility to Jews, you of the AfD                                know best.

You allow that fundamentalist Islamic assemblies form a state within a state. 

            Sven-Christian Kindler (Greens): Shabby! So shabby!

The responsibility for growing anti-semitism you, with fake statistics, have ascribed to the home population. Your sudden activity is hypocritical as long as you continue to be silent concerning the everyday terror, hostile to Germans, against the home population. 

The crisis has long since become a comprehensive, manifest crisis of trust. Your policy delegitimizes democratic institutions in the eyes of honest citizens. You do so as if the devastating decision of the Federal Constitutional Court had not been given. You want to have this breach of the constitution followed by the next. 

Yet you certainly have no gap in the billions; that is ridiculous. It is absurd considering a record total tax intake of one trillion euros. 

            Christoph Meyer (FDP): Just in 2025. 

That needs be imagined: One trillion euros. That means, you have not too little. You have a record total tax intake with which you are unable to deal, like all socialists. 

The way out of the crisis leads through a return to reason. Stop the mass migration, by which you close the borders and turn off immigration magnets like Bürgergeld, children’s basic security, cut-rate passports and residency for all.

Abolish the climate funds and end the energy and mobility transition grab in the billions. It is so simple. Renounce distributing tens of billions to all the world for ideological development aid, for climate defense in India, and for the Ukraine. 

Reduce the payments to the EU. Commit yourselves to a free reform of the European community of states. Then money also remains for our country’s urgent problems: Lowering taxes and duties, promotion of families, secure pensions, healing the healthcare system, housing construction, better schools, secure inner cities and borders and a functioning army. 

Yet you risk control collapse, chaos, and state bankruptcy. We therefore need a new government so as to come out of this crisis swamp. Open the way to new elections and redeem this country from the Ampel government. 

I am grateful.
