German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/27, p. 2854.
Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen.
Authoritative powers believe that with the foreign policy it still goes further-so as in the time of Fischer and Baerbock, now somewhat less shrill, yet somehow further-so: Rainbow flags on German embassies, flights of Afghans to Germany, a climate foreign policy, and quite a lot of gender. Trump, you want to wait out, somehow out-last, hoping in the midterms and in the time after Trump. I believe you do not understand what just happened in the U.S.A.
Ralf
Stegner (SPD): But you do!
While in Germany the last remains of Fridays for Future crumble, in the U.S.A. begins a revolution, and indeed a spiritual one.
I am just returned from America which, following the murder of Charlie Kirk, is no longer the same America as before and never again will be. The MAGA movement experiences in these days a fundamental transformation. This movement is now greater than Donald Trump. After him, no void will arise. It will be filled in the sense and spirit of Charlie Kirk. That will change not only the U.S.A., but the entire West and beyond.
Since the 60s, leftist ideas have determined the direction of the West, and that now comes to an end. The SPD might here in house win the fight over the delegation meeting rooms; the fight for hearts and minds, you have lost.
Charlie Kirk was a danger for the left not only because he like Trump could mobilize the conservative base, but he could convince young people who were never conservative. Thus, he needed to die. Yet following his death, his ideas will will now become still more powerful than they were in his lifetime, much more powerful.
Sara Nanni
(Greens): AfD for the spiritual revolution! I never reckoned on that!
If you believe that you can wall yourself off in a woke fortress in western Europe against that,
Ralf
Stegner (SPD): “Highway to Hell” is what you’re doing here!
then you are blind to the spiritual, moral and political collapse which is taking place in western Europe: Crisis of state in France, revolt in Great Britain, and the black-red after 100 days in principle already at an end.
Milhail Gorbatschov said: Who comes too late, he is punished by life.
Inge Grässle
(CDU/CSU): Who comes too early, he also!
You come too late.
Ralf Stegner (SPD): Life has already punished you!
Hannes Gnauck (AfD), turned toward Ralf Stegner (SPD): You say that, Herr Stegner? Take a look in the mirror!
History passes you by, since nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come, and this idea is not leftist and woke and green and godless.
Stefan
Schmidt (Greens): Can you say something on the budget?
We stand at a Wendepunkt, so christened Charlie Kirk his movement in 2012: “Turning Point” – Wendepunkt. And Europe will turn itself in spirit to the ideas and beliefs of Charlies Kirk, to freedom,
Boris
Mijatović (Greens): Do you speak on the budget?
family, fatherland, but first and foremost to Jesus Christ.
Many thanks.
Sara Nanni
(Greens): I don’t get it! Love of neighbor, that was Jesus Christ! Impossible!
