Ulrich Singer, August 26, 2022, Russians

AfD Kompakt, August 26, 2022.

From the beginning is to emphasized that the assertion all Russians might be held responsible for this war is completely absurd. Even so absurd is [European Union Peoples’ Party chairman Manfred] Weber’s demand to no longer allow Russian tourists entry into the EU. Considering the uncontrolled flows from Islamic countries, Weber’s demand represents the height of absurdity.  

With this demand, Germany makes itself laughable as as ostensible representative of right and freedom. Here again is postulated a moral superiority which however in the case of the U.S.A. was never attained.

While the AfD is accused of being racist since we on good grounds reject illegal mass immigration from foreign cultures, here is proposed to again bring to life the Iron Curtain. Russians as a whole shall be excluded simply because they are Russian. That is pure racism.

We reject the wholesale exclusion of people simply because they belong to a specific ethnic group. We reject the return of an “Iron Curtain” 2.0 and in addition demand the lifting of those sanctions which harm Germany and destroy our prosperity.

Alice Weidel, August 24, 2022, Citizens’ Sacrifices

AfD Kompakt, August 24, 2022.

Whether migration, climate or the Ukraine conflict: It is always the German citizens who should make sacrifices while it is those in government who make the most abstruse demands of our own citizens. Thereby those who demand more readiness to sacrifice need themselves practice no renunciation at all. Provided with a state income, pension claim and all sorts of amenities, the Ampel’s protagonists lack any standing.

We of the AfD demand of the Federal government to lay off their hyper-morality and finally glance at the people’s reality of living. No one in Germany is obligated to make sacrifices for a policy which completely ignores the interests of our own population. On the contrary, those governing have to finally dedicate themselves to their core duty inscribed in the Basic Law: To promote the welfare of the German people and protect them from harm.

Ralf Stadler, August 18, 2022, Bavarian Farmers' Protests

AfD Kompakt, August 18, 2022.

In a time of war in Ukraine, numerous export bans on agricultural goods, frequent breakdowns in supply chains and a steadily increasing inflation in regards foodstuffs, the EU’s environmental packet is a false signal. The professionally over-charged Minister Özdemir already needed to back-pedal and has signaled provisionally setting aside the non-cultivation obligation [Pflichtbrache] and the crop rotation for the 2023 harvest year. The unrealistic environmental policy of the Greens has thus failed all along the line. The farmers’ massive protests have thus shown effect.

From the Bavarian State government the farmers as usual receive no support. On the contrary: State Economy Minister Kaniber voted with the Greens in the Bundesrat for further restrictions on farming. She thereby endangers not only farm livelihoods but the population’s food supply. Only the AfD is strong for the farmers. Our food is not to become a luxury!
