German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/158, pp. 20296-20297.
Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen.
In our country, leftist extremism has long since developed into leftist terrorism, and the Federal Interior Minister not only inactively looks on at this development, so dangerous for all our security,
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): Such an idiocy!
no, as a result of her ideologically conditioned, utterly unavailing focus on the fight against rightists, she herself has become the fire accelerator of this development. That is unacceptable and can no longer be borne.
Johannes Fechner (SPD): Such an idiocy!
That we in our country urgently require a course correction in regards the terror and extremism struggle has not for the last time been indicated by the cases of an arrested RAF terrorist and the attack of the leftist-extremist “Vulkangruppe” on the critical infrastructure in our country.
The RAF terrorist Klette, sought by arrest warrant, was not discovered as is to be expected in a state of law by police authorities, but by journalists who simply researched in publicly accessible sources and thereby came upon the track of this serious criminal.
Rasha Nasr (SPD): For once is free journalism desired! For once that is good!
This enemy of the state by no means lived underground. She has, utterly unabashed, taken part in normal social life, given tutoring and was a dance teacher. And despite this, she was not to be found by our security authorities.
Rasha
Nasr (SPD): What is it then with your co-workers?
And the Interior Minister has the audacity in all seriousness to then ascribe this success to her own ostensibly so successful security policy. Frau Faeser, – who unfortunately is again not here – how stupid do you actually deem the citizens of our country?
The truth is this proceeding is an evidence of incapacity for our security organs
Dorothee
Martin (SPD): No! You are an evidence of incapacity for Germany!
and shows the entire dysfunctionality of our state in this central security area. That must finally have an end. That is also evidenced by the state actions in relation to the leftist-terrorist “Vulkangruppe” which lately in Brandenburg committed an arson attack on an electricity pylon which, as a result of a widespread electricity blackout thereby produced, caused not only hundreds of millions of euros of damages in the Tesla works there, but before all also lead to a danger to the lives and health of patients in the clinics and doctors’ offices affected by the blackout. For days, supermarkets could not be supplied.
Yet this was not the first attack of these violent criminals. Since 2011, these terrorists commit such attacks on our critical infrastructure. The last sitting of the Interior Committee clearly and distinctly showed that to this day not a single one of these perpetrators has been identified, to say nothing then of arrested. This is a security policy scandal. More blind in the left eye a state cannot be.
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): So, now for once on the rightist-extremists in your own ranks,
your delegation co-workers! Say something on that!
It is all the more serious when it needs to be acknowledged that this state in a fight against rightists opposes all that is not of the left, and thereby no longer knows any red lines. That a school director in Germany removes a 16 year old student from a class in session and, without notification of the parents, has a warning talk conducted by the police
Götz
Frömming (AfD): Madness!
because she shared a Schlumpf video on social media, and defended the opinion that Germany for her is more than a place on a map, Germany for her is a Heimat,
Lamya
Kaddor (Greens): For you, that would be totally appropriate in regards an
Islamist video! That is your double morality!
Florian Müller (CDU/CSU): It doesn’t go for both!
shows every convinced democrat that this fight against rightists has nothing but simply nothing to do with the defense of our democracy, but wants to bring about exactly the opposite,
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): Such rubbish!
namely, the entire exclusion of every non-left opinion from the democratic discourse.
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): Nonsense!
These left-green-red political commissars are thereby politically active as gravediggers of our democracy, Herr Hartmann. And that they now attack even our children [sogar an unseren Kinder vergreifen],
Lamya
Kaddor (Greens): Please?
we may and will never let pass.
In this country must cease that legitimate expressions of opinion are persecuted under the covering of an ostensible, constitution-relevant delegitimization of the state.
Sebastian
Hartmann (SPD): Aha!
We require finally again a correct freedom of opinion.
Dorothee
Martin (SPD): We have freedom of opinion! Yet it doesn’t suit you.
Our security organs need instead to finally concern themselves with factual security dangers and to that belongs primarily the so far neglected criminal leftist extremism and terrorism. This needs finally to be fought with all severity and consistency.
And when the AfD is responsible for the government,
Rasha
Nasr (SPD): Never!
then we will implement precisely that.
Rasha Nasr (SPD): Never again!
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): Then you can stop now! That will never happen!
The security of our citizens before all forms of extremism has highest priority for us.
Johannes Fechner (SPD): But not in your own ranks!
Sebastian Hartmann (SPD): Start with yourself!
Rasha
Nasr (SPD): Never again fascism!
And in contrast to the Interior Minister, that is no hollow phrase for us, but an obligation for active conduct. We will implement a clear zero-tolerance strategy with maximum robustness.
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): But not for your own people!
We ban the leftist-extremist Rote Hilfe and the Antifa. We conclusively disconnect the leftist-extremist platform indymedia.org. We take care that all leftist-extremist occupied buildings in Germany be finally evacuated,
Rasha
Nasr (SPD): And you call yourselves democrats! Impudence!
and we forbid the financing of leftist-extremists and terrorists. Thus need all enemies of the state be dealt with if one wants to create security in Germany.
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): And your own people?
The clear message of an AfD government to all leftist-extremists and terrorists goes: The times in which you could romp nearly without limit in our society are over.
Johannes
Fechner (SPD): Done for by acts of government!
This state strikes back immediately. We no longer let ourselves be terrorized by you.
