Alice Weidel, August 10, 2022, Immigration and Knife Attacks

AfD Kompakt, August 10, 2022.

The Federal government again sets up incentives by which it does not emancipate itself from the EU but willingly admits a not nearly figured number of illegal migrants from Italy.

It thereby conducts itself with utter negligence in relation to the taxpayers in Germany, for it is the working people who must finance this immigration policy. Quite without regard to that, the answer to a current question by the AfD in the Nordrhein-Westfalen Landtag shows which security risks for the people in our country accompany this uncontrolled immigration. Since 2019, the number of knife attacks alone in NRW climbed to around 20,000; at the same time, the portion of non-German suspects climbed to a record level with 41.7 percent.

We of the AfD therefore demand of the Federal government to return the focus to the well-being of one’s own people. Instead of willingly opening our social system and ever further hollowing out the domestic security, we need to reconstruct our national sovereignty and defend our own interests.

Tino Chrupalla, August 9, 2022, Trade with China

AfD Kompakt, August 9, 2022.

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.

Alice Weidel, August 9, 2022, Chancellor’s Office

AfD Kompakt, August 9, 2022.

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.

Gottfried Curio, August 1, 2022, Asylum Immigration

AfD Kompakt, August 1, 2022. 

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.
