Tino Chrupalla, July 19, 2022, Gas Triage

AfD Kompakt, July 19, 2022.

The Alternative für Deutschland for months already warns that the sanctions more heavily affect Germany than Russia. It is gratifying that this recognition is now spoken of in the other parties. Chancellor Scholz needs to take seriously the warning of his general-secretary and secure the gas supply.

If it really comes to a gas triage, it is too late. Then countless businesses and employees will be intensive-care patients of the social system. The emergency case must be averted. De-escalation and diplomacy are called for with which the energy supply is again guaranteed.

Alice Weidel, July 19, 2022, War and Ideology

AfD Kompakt, July 19, 2022.

There is a reason that out of the pacifist Greens grew a party which supports weapons deliveries to war zones, refuses any diplomacy and thereby a priori makes peace negotiations impossible. For the Greens evidently regard the war in the Ukraine as proper means for implementing their ideology.

Baerbock’s statements not only show how far ideological delusion has progressed in the governing party, but furthermore that the Greens well-nigh welcome a military conflict in the middle of Europe. Thereby also becomes clear the reason for Baerbock’s attitude of rejection in regards any diplomacy. It is after all striking that she rejected a talk with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, even though that would have been able to be a first step in the direction of peace.

Baerbock’s “climate change” is not the greatest “threat to our security”, but the Foreign Minister herself, just as is a Green party completely separated from Realpolitik, which understands the war as a “booster” for their ideological agenda and abandons our country to ruin. Following these statements of Baerbock, the Greens need to be immediately relieved of their responsibility.

Peter Boehringer, July 12, 2022, Euro Devaluation

AfD Kompakt, July 12, 2022.

The euro’s weakness is no accident. It is the logical consequence of the failed economics and unchecked monetary policy of past decades. With its inflation policy, the ECB has in fact managed in a milieu of weak currencies to bring forth the weakest of all currencies and even to devalue the euro against the currency of the U.S.A., the world’s debts champion. Despite the record high inflation, the ECB avoids an appropriate change of interest rate and continually purchases state debts solely to maintain the euro’s southern countries’ ability to pay. The result of this state of affairs, contrary to treaty, is the devaluation of the euro.

In addition, the euro’s exchange rate is closely connected with the state of the German economy. Its downfall is the result of its real economic manipulation [Gängelung] by the Federal government and the EU: Over-regulation, CO₂ planned economy, subventions and cohesion policy, transfer payments, sanctions policy, debates laden with ideology are the crippling poison which undermines the economic power of the entire EU and this leads to the devaluation of the euro.

This devaluation to parity at the same time contradicts the myth according to which the severe price increases are in the first instance to be traced back to the war in the Ukraine. It is much more evident that the euro loses value on a broad front – the higher import prices thereby intensify the problem of inflation.

If the ECB does not immediately begin the change in interest rate, the capital flight out of the euro zone will be accelerated, purchasing power further weaken and the entire euro zone drawn into stagflation. Yet since here a reversal in the monetary policy will foreseeably fail due to resistance of Italy, France and other countries, can ultimately only an exit of Germany from the euro zone and a return to the D-mark stop the devaluation and with it the asoziale inflation.
