Jörg Urban, August 29, 2022, Inflation in Saxony

AfD Kompakt, August 29, 2022.

The government mis-uses the price increases to mercilessly draw money from the pockets of citizens and businesses.

CDU Minister-president Michael Kretschmer wants to use the inflation profit to make possible for his government expenditures of – believe it or not – 5.7 billion euros. Especially profits therefrom the administration which shall be further inflated. The greatest beneficiaries are thereby once again the Greens who have made out much for their ministries.

The AfD is not alone in its criticism of this squandering of tax money by the government. The Saxon Audit Authority also shares our critique. In view of the unprecedented economic crisis, that the Saxon budget readies no targeted relief of any sort for our impoverished citizens and endangered businesses is just grotesque. At a minimum, the reserves of the Free State should be readied for a hard winter. Instead, the government itself wants to plunder our nest egg for its impudent self-service. That certainly does not go!

There would very simply be a majority in the Saxon Landtag for a solid financial policy. For that, however, Herr Kretschmer would need to finally throw the Greens out of the government.

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.
