Penalty tariffs on Russian products harm
German businesses which need to cooperate with Russian partners. Germany cannot
renounce cooperation with one of the countries of the Earth most rich in raw
materials.
Now would be the best time for the G-7 states to show readiness for dialogue and working together with Russia so as to quickly end the war. However, with their sanctions, they obstruct the way to possible peace negotiations.

With yesterday’s vote in the EU Parliament,
the auto as we know it is history. The combustion engine at the latest by 2035
will be forbidden; yet well before, there will no longer be capable combustion
engines, since the new EU legal situation does not permit this and businesses
can no longer earn money with the sale of combustion engines but need to make
penalty payments on account of allegedly higher CO2 emissions.
Hundreds of thousands of employees will suffer, those who will lose their job
in the coming years as a result of Brussels’s Green Deal hysteria and a
pretended world rescue. The lie of an ostensible “emissions-free mobility“ with battery autos will
drive some families of the suppler industry into an existential emergency.
Customers need to adjust themselves to dangerous, unreliable, poor performing
and expensive E-autos. The dream of one’s own auto is increasingly obstructed due
to the E-auto’s higher purchase price and operations costs.
It is long since no longer a secret that it is
about the end of individual mobility and the abolition of the auto as private
property. For even if the political will was at hand, it would alone fail due
to the insufficiently at disposal, permanent resources for the traction
batteries which are to replace the presently available combustion engine
passenger vehicles by means of E-Mobile.
Germany’s competitiveness and business venue
will also suffer. Instead of ourselves, with other European countries, building
the world’s best combustion engines, we may now obtain batteries from the Far East
and microchips from America. That thereby technological dependencies on
autocratically led countries like China will increase massively is a given.
That we will certainly not be able to produce the electricity for an auto fleet
on today’s scale is for green climate fanatics a trifle.
Done! Welcome to the new eco-socialism which
in the last years, indeed decades, was powerfully promoted not only by the
usual suspects like the Greens, the Social Democrats and the Linke but even by
the Union and the FDP.
Only the AfD still stands credibly for
innovation, industrial promotion, prosperity and competitiveness in Germany.

The financial
emergency appearing in the pension account comes as no surprise. The
demographic development is strongly counter-productive and provides for that
the income of ever fewer contribution payers needs to be distributed to ever
more benefits recipients.
The Federal government
intensifies this problem still further by its policy. Instead of relieving
families in particular and thereby simply counteracting the demographic change
by improving the financial situation of families, the tax burden, by means of
among others climate duties, drastically increases.
Beyond that, the Ampel’s naturalization [Einbürgerungs] and migration policy
breaks down the entire social system. Who adds ever more benefits recipients to
not only the pension but also for example the statutory sickness account, who
themselves pay not a cent into these, he deconstructs the social system of an
entire state, especially against the background of the known numbers and facts,
assuredly.
Germany needs finally a politics conscious of its
responsibility, which makes our country secure for the future and dedicates
itself to the real concerns and needs of the people!

With her willingness
to partake in a so-called coalition of the willing to accept illegal immigrants
from the states on the southern external border of the EU, Interior Minister
Faeser further increases the burdensome migration pressure on Germany.
Following the so-called prospects – right of residence at the national level,
the participation in the aforementioned measures at the EU level is a further signal
to illegal migrants and traffickers that Germany stands open to them without
limit.
It lacks any logic
that states like Italy and Spain which – in relation to population – for years
ordinarily show a smaller charge with asylum applicants, shall now still be
relieved by Germany. Especially from the Mediterranean neighboring states,
there is still a substantial, illegal secondary migration to Germany of persons
who were already recognized there as asylum applicants entitled to protection.
Tellingly, this
coalition of the willing consists of not over half the member states: Besides
the eastern European states, the Netherlands and Austria, among others in the
interests of their populations, do not take part. Ultimately, the coalition may
include, with France and Germany, just two states with a large population
figure and on which may then fall a large part of the burden resulting from
additional migration. Instead of opening itself to still more irregular
migration, it would be in the German interest to conform to the Austrian
position which urgently considers an effective defense of the European external
border from irregular migration.
Germany already
strains all of its available reception resources for overcoming the refugee crisis
following the Ukraine war, in regards to which we – after the eastern European
neighboring states of the Ukraine – are the most important goal country for
authentic war refugees. In just such a situation, to declare an implicit
invitation for illegal mass immigration from outside of Europe is completely
irresponsible.

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/40, p. 3952.
Right honorable Frau President. Right
honorable colleagues. Dear spectators in the hall and on YouTube.
On the pediment of this building in which we
find ourselves is written: „Dem deutschen
Volke“ [To the German People]. It thus must be self-evident that German
foreign policy is to be aligned with this guiding principle. Yet unfortunately
in many cases, we see the opposite. It would be in the German interest to deal
frugally with the German tax money and be considerate of how this money is
used. It would be in the German interest to reduce debts and work on solid
finances.
We nevertheless have experienced at the
conclusion of the budget deliberations how an optimistic tax estimate for the
year 2022 has led to that the estimate for the Foreign Office was raised over the
seven billion euro threshold.
The additional tax expenditures of around half
a billion euros flow almost exclusively in the direction of Ukraine, in
addition to what, note well, was already foreseen and which also comes from other
estimates. Thereby flows the money into a country the people of which everyone
who has a heart is in solidarity with; yet where at the same time the question
must be put what actually happens with this money and whether it in fact
arrives where it is needed and does not seep into any non-transparent channels.
Frank Schwabe (SPD): How offensive!
That no one at the moment wants to hear Herr
Selenskyi emerges in the Pandora Papers and that just last autumn he was
accused of corruption is however in fact for me as a budget member unimportant.
Since the decisive point in the expenditures policy in the Foreign Office is
the deficient evaluation. There is not any balance, not any evaluation, not any
results control in which the use of hard earned German tax money in foreign
countries is actually made tangible.
Ralf Stegner (SPD): Offensive!
In fact, valued colleagues, the Foreign Office
is not in the position to say to an inquiry what exactly, in which country,
with which share, to which purpose it will be promoted. No one has an overall
view over the impenetrable wild growth of projects which is financed worldwide with
German tax money. Yet in committee, all other delegations are agreed that in
any case more money is needed. This is absolutely insane.
Nevertheless, Frau Minister Baerbock in the
deliberations has promised that by autumn will have been developed a system by which
at the touch of a button data on the Foreign Office‘s worldwide projects can be
summoned up. That meets not only with our approval but we also demand it. Since
only when we receive for once an overall view can we also begin with an
authentic evaluation and fully dedicate ourselves to the question of where we can
save money. Yet until then I want to impart to the government a few brief
remarks as to what does and does not serve the interests of our country.
A gas embargo against Russia is not in the German
interest; since it threatens a large number of workplaces and leads to new
fiscal burdens in the areas of labor, social and economy. It leads to
incalculable risks in regards our energy security. The question of with what Germany shall be heated next autumn cannot simply be left unanswered. Germany’s
dependence on energy imports created over decades can also not be ignored so to
act as if it did not exist. With all appreciation of the present situation, the
solidarity with the Ukraine may not go so far that we endanger our economic
venue and freeze our people next winter. And for a good finale: Weapons
deliveries to the Ukraine are also not in the German interest, which is what a
growing majority in the population also sees.
Against this background, it is certainly
ironic that the inscription „Dem
deutschen Volke“ here outside on the House was made out of melted down
cannons. The Federal government should perhaps ponder over the deeper meaning
of this choice of material and come to its senses.
Many thanks for your attention.

German Bundestag, June 1, 2022, Plenarprotokoll 20/40, pp.
3931-3933.
Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable ladies and
gentlemen. Dear countrymen.
The German Bundestag has been called upon to pass the Federal
2022 budget. We deliberate this week on a new indebtedness in a dizzying [schwindelerregender] sum of
approximately 139 billion euros. The planned expenditures thereby grow to
nearly 500 billion euros.
Valued Herr Chancellor, when could you as head of government
of this Ampel coalition actually end
a work day with the conscience of having brought our country forward? For one
thing I need say: The responsibility for the desolate state of our country rightly weighs heavily on your
shoulders. As a former Federal Finance Minister and a Social Democrat, you and
your predecessors in office have paved the ground for an economic and financial
policy far from reality.
We experience here and today the economic and social decline
of Germany and its citizens. How is your reaction to that? Either the Chancellor
is not heard or seen, or one hears from a former Federal President that one can
also freeze for peace. Precisely that is unworthy, ladies and gentlemen, unworthy
in the face of the country for which you as Federal government have undertaken
responsibility, and before all unworthy in the face of the people who day by
day contribute to the creation of value in Germany and thereby to the
well-being of our society.
The CDU moreover does not fall short of you. Herr Merz, you
yourself have spoken on the ARD of an end of our prosperity for a given time. That
sounds to me as if the CDU had already given up on Germany and lost belief in
itself; for the Christian Democrats and also you, Herr Merz, have not brought
forward solutions. You have spoken not a word for the German citizens, not a
word for the taxpayers in this country.
Ladies and gentlemen, both of these politicians today bring
in their own harvest. Look about you in our country! You will foremost
acknowledge the results of a misguided policy of the last decades when you go
through our country. These step forward ever more strongly into the foreground
and no longer allow themselves to be hushed. For example, the split between the
structurally strong regions and the structurally weak regions still deepens. We
all know: For scarcely any Mittelstand
firm is it at all still attractive to establish itself long-term in a
structurally weak region. Here for years the German state has not fulfilled its
basic duty, that is to say: Construction and maintenance of infrastructure,
transportation networks of roads and railways, broadband construction,
healthcare and education are some of the cornerstones which simply must be
present. It is the duty of the governments in the States and in the Bund to
create the basic prerequisites so that also small and Mittelstand businesses and especially the trades [Handwerk] can exist.
What actually is your idea for Germany and the continent of
Europe in the next 20 years, valued Federal government? How will we live and
work after the so-called energy transition? How further does it go? In that regard,
you keep completely silent. With that ends the one-sided utopia of the Ampel coalition, ladies and gentlemen.
Which industries for example will still exist in Germany and which will we need
to develop? How will people in this country earn their money? Who in this
country will at all still work creating value? To these questions we already
for long hear no more words from you. With your politics, you drive only by
sight. And further: What shall we advise the succeeding generations? What would
you advise your children, which calling should they learn, to which studies
should they apply themselves? How do the job descriptions of the future
actually appear?
Do you still at all invest a thought in these important
inquiries? We and many German citizens in any case cannot presently recognize
it. Your policy, valued Federal government, completely abolishes Germany and
Europe as an independent economic and educational area secured for the future.
As if that is not enough, these Federal governments for
years seek to solve the structural problems with new public debts, naturally
also in this budget. As Alternative für Deutschland, we have steadily and
constantly been of the opinion that you are thereby steering our country into
an inflation. And also here we are to be right, ladies and gentlemen. For the
rising prices of the goods of daily needs and of fuel, the citizens have you to
thank. You should actually be ashamed to cover up the results of your deficient
policy with the cloak of the Ukraine war. You all here know that the money press
of the ECB for years runs at high speed so as to veil the abuses! Precisely
that is the principal reason: The money supply in Europe.
Now comes the agreed upon oil embargo. And that will weaken
us here in Europe. In the petroleum refineries of Schwedt and Leuna and
throughout the regions of economic power workplaces will be lost. For months,
this ideologically deluded Federal government persists in its standpoint. Even
so long, we bring to your attention real savings potentials. You nevertheless
are not all at interested in an honest audit. To compare revenues and
expenditures is not wanted.
In that regard, it would be possible that you save over 100
billion euros in the energy and climate funds by means of a reimbursement of
the asylum reserve or an orderly foreign and development policy in German
interests. And the EU bureaucracy monster is not allowed to be further
heedlessly fed. Were only a portion of these proposals taken into account, we
could relieve the state budget. Much more, these volumes of money would also be
free for the financing of the Bundeswehr – without taking up new debts and
without altering the Basic Law – or so as to invest in the chronically under-financed social security systems. We of course owe that to the citizens
who use a large part of their income for that each month and also thereby
maintain the social state.
Yet this Federal government reacts as usual thoughtfully and
initially announces a one-time relief packet. That of course sounds really
great and nice. Not only is it long awaited, it first of all serves as ideological
building blocks and attempts with a nine euro ticket to remove the citizens
during the summer months from their autos to public transportation [ÖPNV]. Again of course can only those
profit therefrom which still operate buses and trains. The infrastructurally
weak regions will again be uncoupled. Frau Haßelmann, you are welcome to come
to my constituency, Görlitz.
Britta Haßelmann (Greens): I was there already! Without informing you!
A weekly bus runs there. You can then go there for once for
nine euros. This is the reason: The people there have purely nothing to do with
this short-term symbol politics. They of course have designated for their own
provision their own autos.
Here especially it concerns as it happens the elders in our
country, those as it happens whom we have to thank for our prosperity. Those
who have built our country will, for thanks from the government, be humiliated
and forgotten.Yet just these people require our support, deserve our esteem; and
those people also have deserved relief.
Yes, the price spiral ever further turns. High fuel prices
will have as a consequence higher foodstuff prices. The production prices
already lie above the trade prices. Finally take hold of pragmatic solutions
which matter to the citizens and businesses! Set aside the value-added tax on
basic foodstuffs! Create a relief in the wage and income taxes by means of a
raise in the basic allowance! And yet again: The CO2 duty ought to
be abolished.
We ourselves here in the German Bundestag need to finally
expedite the election law reform. Had this parliament the appropriate number of
598 members, in place of 736, we could save 100 million euros annually. That would
contribute to the citizens’ trust in our parliamentary work and could even
positively affect the election participation. You apparently just do not want
this.
Vice-president Petra Pau: You please need come to a conclusion.
Last sentence, Frau President. – Valued colleagues, it can
and may not be a further so. We require a politics in which our citizens are
thought of first, just like Germany.
Many thanks.
