German Bundestag, June 6, 2024, Plenarprotokoll 20/172, pp.
22137-22139.
Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable Herr
Chancellor. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.
The foregoing speeches completely by-pass the core of the
problem. The Mannheim knifeman ought not to be here. The bloodbath on the
Mannheim market place brings to public awareness the decline of security in
public areas and the murderous consequences of an irresponsible migration
policy.
The German state can no longer fulfill its obligation to
protect the citizens and their rights. First, an Islamist attacker killed a
young, on-duty, German police officer. A young father of a family could yet
live, Herr Stürzenberger might not lie seriously wounded in hospital, if the
authorities had fulfilled their duties and immediately deported the Afghan
knifeman to his home after his illegal entry.
The Mannheim police murderer, who came to Germany over ten
years ago as an ostensibly unaccompanied minor and despite rejected asylum
demands remained in the country all the years at cost to the taxpayers, is a
prime example of the migration policy failures of this government and the
CDU/CSU-led preceding government. It is a product of the politically willed
loss of control over our borders. It is the product of the millions of
tolerated abuses of the asylum system for illegal immigration into our country.
It is the result of a fully out of control, pretend asylum. And it is no single instance. He is
one of many assailants and violent criminals who have come to our country as
supposed refugees.
The result is in the criminal statistics: Forty percent of
suspects are foreign citizens – three times more than their portion of the
entire population. In regards the exploding crimes of violence, the portion of
foreigners is four times higher. Asylum seekers from the countries of origin of
Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Turkey, are over-proportionately charged with a
high criminality; that is a fact. Since
2021, the number of knife attacks has increased by a third. There were almost
15,000 knife attacks last year, almost 40 per day. And in that regard, much of
the knife crime included in the State
statistics, falls under the table. In the past year alone was registered the
horror number of 761 gang rapes. That is more than two of these horrific crimes
every day in our country, 111 in the City of Berlin alone.
Half of the suspects are foreign citizens. How many suspects
with a German passport have a migration background is still not recorded.
Double and multiple citizenship counts in the criminal statistics as German.
Sara Nanni
(Greens): Yes, they also are German.
Lamya
Kaddor (Greens): They are German!
That shows that even the horror numbers of the police
criminal statistics are still considerably distorted.
From the collapse of the domestic security can there be only
one reasonable consequence, and that is a fundamental migration change, and
indeed immediately. In clear text: Law and statute need to be consistently applied.
The borders must be closed. Illegal entry must be prevented. Those without
residency rights, primarily criminals and Islamist fanatics, must be deported,
and certainly also to Afghanistan.
Yet you do not think of ending your fatal policy. You do the
opposite and naturalize in quick processes precisely these Afghans, Syrians,
Iraqis and Turks. While citizens and colleagues still mourn the murdered police
officer, and already you again speak of facilitating the immigration from
Islamic countries and let in still more migrants from Afghanistan, you put off
the victims, the traumatized relatives and terrorized citizens with empty
phrases.
Lamya
Kaddor (Greens): You are instrumentalizing the victims!
– That the interruptions come straight out of your
delegation, from the Greens, does not surprise me.
You relativize the threat and, with unbearable trivialization,
place religious fanatics on a level with drunken howlers, as your party
chairman Ricarda Lang has done. You abuse the resources of the security
authorities so as to proceed against oppositionists instead of addressing the
greatest and most urgent danger for our domestic security: The imported
Islamist extremism and its extreme left assailants. That is not only
irresponsible, but cynical. Your hypocrisy is deadly. Your ideology of open
borders and the unrestricted, uncontrolled mass immigration is based on
illusion and lies which cost human lives.
Your migration policy does not defend those politically
persecuted, but criminals and asylum cheaters. You play with the lives and
health of the citizens. You take from them their right to freedom and security
in the public space. And with reprisals, tricks and defamation, you threaten
those who remonstrate and name the abuses by name. That is also shown by the
devious knife attack on our common council candidate Heinrich Koch in Mannheim.
You leave in the lurch police officers who, with suppressed
rage over your irresponsibility, must take the heat and, before all, are ready
with their lives to stand up for the defense of law and freedom, like the
murdered Rouven Laur. Yet you rob the citizens not only of their domestic
security, you also take from them the economic and financial security and
hard-earned prosperity. Inflation, rising charges and energy prices politically
driven to the heights by a green transformation force the working population
into a spiral of cold expropriation. And Habeck, the De-Industrialization
Minister, drives the productive industry out of the country. Businesses weekly
report massive elimination of positions, and displacement of production to
foreign countries or insolvencies. The attraction of Germany as a business
venue rapidly declines. The exodus of the flagship BASF is only one of
countless alarm signals. The number of business closures in the past year has
climbed to a gigantic 176,000 and strikes the productive core of our economy.
You expend untold billions on the illusion of being able in
a few decades to influence the climate; yet for the securing against real
dangers in the here and now there is no money. German tax money goes to all the
world, the flood and catastrophe protection in our own country is neglected and
skimped to ruin; that belongs to the truth. And then you run in rubber boots to
photo ops and promise state aid to those affected by the flood catastrophe. In
Ahrtal, they are still waiting, after more than two years, for your state aid.
Lamya
Kaddor (Greens): Where then is your protection concept?
While you destroy the economic foundation of our prosperity
and allow the domestic security to erode, you sleepwalk to the edge of a Third
World War. The war in the Ukraine goes into its third year. A military victory
of the Ukraine is illusionary. The Ukraine cannot win this war; that belongs
to the truth. The search for a diplomatic solution is in this situation the
order of the hour. There must be a diplomatic solution, and not the endless
prolongation of death as a result of your weapons deliveries.
Sara Nanni
(Greens): The AfD recommends capitulation!
Retired General Harald Kujat, the Bundeswehr’s former
Inspector-general and chairman of the NATO military committee, expressed the
fear that the Ukraine War could become the ur-catastophe of the 21st
Century.
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann
(FDP): The Alternative für Deutschland is the ur-catastrophe!
Markus
Frohnmaier (AfD): Frau Zimmermann, when then do you volunteer?
And I am of this opinion. The irresponsible escalation
rhetoric of the agitators in this government coalition and from the ranks of
the Union has contributed an essential part to this danger, and daily the
amnesiac situation is intensified.
President
Bärbel Bas: Please come to a conclusion, Frau Weidel.
Yet we know that at the end of any war is the peace. Thus
why prolong the bloodshed and suffering which increase the immense danger of a
major war? Commit yourselves instead finally for peace negotiations, and bring
the parties to the table,
President
Bärbel Bas: Frau Weidel, come to a conclusion.
so as to end the dying and before all to avoid the danger of
a Third World War.
I am grateful.
Dorothee
Bär: That was for TikTok!
