Alice Weidel, August 31, 2022, Nuclear Energy

AfD Kompakt, August 31, 2022.

Hopefully, it is not a newspaper hoax: The Economy Ministry shall work up a statute which foresees the continued operation of the three remaining nuclear power plants. A long overdue step – and even in the right direction, which however does not go far enough. For the citizens and the economy rightly expect from the Federal government that it provide for a favorable and secure energy – and to be sure on occasions when no wind blows and the sun does not shine.

The Federal government must stop the gas assessment, undertake Nord Stream 2, withdraw the sanctions against Russia and set up a secure supply by means of employment of diverse technologies as well as a multi-faceted energy mix.  

The AfD demands the re-organization of nuclear research centers and a comprehensive participation in international nuclear research projects. The AfD is for the installation of new, secure nuclear power plants so as to avoid an energy shortage for industrial Germany and its citizens. Beyond that, the AfD demands of the Federal government to join the “Generation IV International Forum (GIF)” to move forward the construction of a demonstration reactor with a liquid fuel technology (molten salt reactor, MSR) so as to create the opportunity to test the use of thorium under real conditions in sustained operation.

Mariana Harder-Kühnel, August 31, 2022, Baerbock and Peace

AfD Kompakt, August 31, 2022.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock practices a refusal to work. Instead of committing herself as German chief diplomat to bringing the warring parties to the negotiations table, it is she herself with her war rhetoric who pours ever more oil on an already blazing fire. Heedless of the negative consequences for the people, the Foreign Minister escalates ever further, instead of committing herself to peace negotiations which appropriately consider the security interests of all participants. Only in this way can the senseless bloodshed be ended as quickly as possible.  

We of the AfD demand of not only Minister Baerbock but of the entire Federal government to at last verbally disarm and strive for peace in the Ukraine. Germany should proceed with a good example and for a start lift the economic sanctions against Russia which primarily harm our own citizens.

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.
