The People’s Republic of China is Germany’s most important
trade partner and the world’s export champion. It has extensively opened up its
economy for free trade. Shall we now for ideological motives stop the free
trade? That would mean that the West acts like the communism which it has always
rightly reproached. Walling off and one-sided dependencies are not the
solution.
We need to keep our options open and cultivate free trade
with all states.

While the policy drives the people in the country to an ever
greater emergency of livelihood, the Federal government indulges itself in
luxury. The now already fully over-dimensioned Chancellor’s Office came after an expansion to a ground area
of 50,000 square meters which nearly corresponds to the area of seven football
fields.
Such plans are an affront in the face of the taxpayers who
as a result of the Ampel’s policy
have been bequeathed an extreme debt. Caused primarily by the Federal
government, our country finds itself in one of the most serious crises of the
recent past. The strived for expansion of the Chancellor’s Office once more
makes clear how far the governing politicians have distanced themselves from
the citizens.
In this regard, I demand of the Federal government and the
Berlin Senat to comprehensively stop the reconstruction of the Chancellor’s
Office into a Chancellor’s Park. The means thereby freed up are to be committed
to the relief of citizens in the present energy crisis.

Interior Minister Faeser having agreed just recently at the
EU interior minister conference to make available 8,000 relocation places so as
“to relieve” Mediterranean countries now even adds to it: Germany makes itself responsible
for around 50,000 asylum applicants previously recognized in Greece who have
further traveled here. Germany already agreed to financially support Greece in
regards the accommodation of the asylum applicants. This is the ultimate dam
break in European asylum law – all asylum applicants within the EU can thus
further migrate to Germany as support cases. And this in Germany where already
live the most migrants Europe-wide, and where is to be expected the highest number
in five years of first-time applications – and by chance Berlin needed to
activate an emergency plan for accommodation. Ex-Chancellor Merkel will be
happy to see how her legacy is administered: Like she herself previously in
2015, Faeser wantonly ignores applicable law and statute and thus provokes an
additional significant wave of immigration to Germany.
The Ampel government
thereby puts its seal on the bankruptcy of the European asylum system. As a
consequence of the logic applied, it is not to be expected that apparent asylum
applicants apply for asylum in a European country other than Germany. Therefore
now all repatriations of asylum applicants already registered in other EU
states shall not be followed up and a repeat asylum petition in Germany will be
accepted. Thus the entire Dublin III system has failed and was cleared away without
a word from the Federal government.
The Ampel
government itself needed to publicly communicate and declare the mentioned
asylum practice as government policy. Yet it is nevertheless preferably hoped
that a devoted media lays a cloak of silence over these intentional failures of
state. In view of the straitened situation of the state finances, of the
housing market, and of the economic crisis drawing near, the resulting voluntary
extra burden due to these illegal government actions means a renunciation of
the last solidarity with its own citizens. The AfD delegation demands the
return to the applicable legal framework of Dublin III and – in view of the intra-European
asylum tourism – the effective securing of the German borders.

The European High Court [EuGH]’s decision increases the
pressure on our social state and on those who must by their work generate the
billions in tax money which here will be distributed on a grand scale. The EuGH
no longer evaluates Kindergeld [child
allowance] as a social benefit, since according to the opinion of the judges it
does not serve for the guaranteeing of the living subsistence but for the
compensation of the family costs [Ausgleich
von Familienlastung]. The Court thereby again increases the incentive for
abuse by migrants from southeast Europe and additional poor regions of the EU.
For comparison: The Kindergeld
claim for three children for three months runs to some 2,000 euros in Germany.
With a monthly average wage in Bulgaria of 800 euros, the income of German Kindergeld is more than lucrative. It is
nevertheless the German taxpayers who finance the social state and not it
happens Bulgarians seeking work. The basic idea of the freedom of movement in
the EU is based on the employment of workers in other EU member states. Clearly
not meant by that is the claim to more attractive social benefits. The Ampel is now obliged to find a sound
legal solution so as to prevent further social tourism to Germany.
