Gottfried Curio, December 3, 2025, Naturalization Fraud

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/46, pp. 5362-5363. 

Right honorable Herr President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

Last year there were nearly 300,000 naturalizations, almost a doubling from two years ago. Wherein this massive rise? For decades, the naturalization prerequisites were ever further weakened, ultimately under the Ampel again watered down. For the already questionable claim, the waiting period was degraded from eight to five years and thus almost halved, multiple citizenship as a rule accepted. From the idea of a once exacting integration, this government has completely removed itself. 

Background: Leftist parties attempt to rehabilitate their polling percentages by means of the import of naturalization sozial cases. 

            Luigi Pantisano (Linke): O mein Gott!

For the costs incurred, the taxpayer is allowed to pay. Policy of the finest, hostile to natives! The Union has retained the mentioned new regulation. German interests are all the same. The main point, to become the Chancellor party. For that, one bravely gobbles every toad tossed to him by the reds. Cynical power-opportunism is at the end stage, ladies and gentlemen. 

For many of the illegally immigrated advantage grabbers, however, even the remaining minimal requirements are still too much work. They resort to naked fraud. Authorities are meantime so overburdened that blatant falsifications are winked through. We hear of massively falsified  course certifications 

            Johannes Rechner (SPD): No, for once, an example! Say one example!

in regards naturalization tests and language verifications. And in the social media runs the lively commerce with examination questions and solutions of naturalization tests. 

Inquiries yield that the phenomenon has been known for years. Police and foreign authorities proceed on a very high Dunkelziffer – cite – “of fraudulently attained naturalizations”. The talk is of a – cite – “loss of control”. 

Typical case: The attested language level – not at all present; of the content of the filed commitments – not the least idea. The vice-chairman of the police union therefore demands a moratorium for naturalization as well as a comprehensive examination of certificates of the last two years.

Our motion [Drucksache 21/3024] accordingly demands: A pause of naturalization and grant of residency titles until a fraud-secure procedure is developed, prevention of the application of falsified certificates and the sale of examination questions quite openly in the social media, as well as a new examination of all residency agreements and naturalizations issued since January 2024. For allotted authorization documents is required, to the maximum, the return from control loss to a control by the state of law. 

A merely personal statement for testing of adherence to the constitution is fully insufficient, and formulas of acknowledgement are rather imputed lip service, even when they are understood purely verbally. Only a systematic research by the naturalization authorities of the applicant’s social media activities can prevent the naturalization of extremists. Yet the Union racks its brains over how quickly after the fraud may one again be tested. In that regard, it is still not about the few who were caught, but about stopping this possibility of fraud. 

Yet this government quite obviously has no interest in an orderly situation in regards naturalization. We see an absence of control in the language level – only the adherence to the constitution shall be verbally ensured –, a lack of will to develop a fraud-secure procedure, and a complete absence of a backed-up examination. All of this shows just one thing: In the Union is there once again fear in the face of the coalition partners who would not be ready to stop the abuses. German interests are also there sacrificed to the peace of the coalition. 

Ladies and gentlemen, nip it in the bud! 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): That is however a quite nice, hefty historical                                                       comparison you bring in here!

Let us certainly not first begin by leaving as is an allotted authorization document in the hands of people who have only obtained this by means of deception prior to its issuance, which inflicts harm on our country. Otherwise, one day we will have a government which comes to power by means of deception prior to the elections and, in the briefest time, definitively ruins the country. 

Many thanks.

Marc Jongen, December 18, 2025, European Democracy Shield

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-17(3-0212-0000). 

Herr President. 

Let us openly say it: The so-called European Democracy Shield does not protect the democracy, but the rulers from the will of the people. It is an instrument for the suppression of the opposition and thus for the prevention of the democracy. George Orwell himself cannot better think up the name. From disinformation and foreign influence you want to protect the people? In truth, the citizens shall be kept away from free information, so that they only receive a hearing of the official narrative and the propaganda of the EU. We remember Twitter before the acquisition by Elon Musk – an apparat of woke censorship and propaganda. Thus now the open war against Musk – because he made X into a platform of free speech, he will be covered with 120 million in fines and threats. Yet in Germany also will quite ordinary and innocent citizens be rung out of bed in the morning by the police because they expressed a wrong opinion in social media. 

However, Frau Geese, you today have let the mask fall, and quite openly said what it is about for you and your red-green friends – right-conservative parties should be kept away from power. And in Roumania we could, ja, observe what that enjoins. There, at Brussels’s bidding, the presidential election was annulled, the independent canididate Georgescu excluded, on account of alleged Russian influence. A coup d’état under cover of the protection of democracy. And this template you now want to make the rule throughout Europe. Please no longer mouth the name of  democracy. You are anti-democrats.

Rüdiger Lucassen, December 5, 2025, Service in the Bundeswehr

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/48, pp. 5614-5615. 

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

The coalition’s defense service modernization law is discussed for weeks in the context of the general conscription [Wehrpflicht] as a kind of preliminary stage thereof; yet it is not. The core of the law only foresees that the attraction of voluntary service in the Bundeswehr shall be increased – and that, now for the umpteenth time. With the defense service modernization law, the Federal government does what it always does when it does not want to get at the root of the problem: It pours on more money. That is Merkel Politik, and it comes to its end. 

Yet in regards the defense service modernization law it is not only about money; it is about something fundamental. The Defense Ministry in the future pays to each new recruit 2,700 euros gross – a lot of of money for one leaving school. For the Federal government, attraction means money. To it, something else does not come to mind. Yet soldiers who come on account of the pay have no strong basis for the service. That does not suffice. 

The antithesis is the soldier who serves out of conviction. It is the German soldier who knows what he fights for, who bears within the inner bond [der das innere Band in sich trägt] – the born defender of his country, the German common destiny [Schicksalsgemeinscahft]. Theodor Körner, Lützow, Roon, Moltke, Hindenburg, Jünger, Rommel, Stauffenberg, Heusinger, Hartmann, Topp, Förtsch, Kammhuber – there are hundreds of thousands of names of German soldiers who carry this bond and pass it on. And, ladies and gentlemen, the Bundeswehr consists of these soldiers. In no other institution of Germany is the consciousness of one’ own, for what is worth protecting, for our country, so present as in the Bundeswehr. The soldiers who serve in it are the daughters and sons of our people. To them, they perform their oath. 

            Lamya Kaddor (Greens): Yet without völkischen language!

And they are thereby not soldiers of this government, but Germany’s soldiers. 

The Bundeswehr thus stands in a 200 year tradition, a tradition of the true, the dutiful, and of the bond to Germany, regardless under which government. Lützow’s riflemen did not fight for the king, but for the freedom of the Germans. 

            Sara Nanni (Greens): That is abysmal! Really!

The Heeresgruppe Kurland fought not for the wretched regime in the bunker. Its soldiers withstood the Red Army so as to save 1.5 million East Prussians. And the soldiers of the NVA [National People’s Army, East Germany], a German conscript army, 

            Jens Spahn (CDU/CSU): Where have you landed, actually?

placed themselves in a decisive moment of their history in the service of this German tradition. 

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Please do not speak of the Bundeswehr! 

            Christian Görko (Linke): You have no idea!

             Siemtje Möller (SPD): Good diversionary maneuver! That shows you have no                                           position on the conscription!

As namely the SED planned to fight the 1989 freedom movement with military means, the soldiers of the NVA refused the mission order. German soldiers do not shoot Germans. The German bond blocked the mission order. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the Thüringen chairman of my own party gave a speech on conscription on Wednesday in the Erfurt Landtag. In this speech, he came to the conclusion that Germany is no longer worth fighting for. What would the men and women of the Wars of Liberation have said to that? They would never have followed that diagnosis. Dear countrymen in Thüringen and everywhere: The fight for Germany’s salvation is the basis for the founding of the AfD. 

            Jens Spahn (CDU/CSU): How low have you sunk?

Where shall I at all begin? Our culture, our children – Goethe, Schiller, Eichendorff, Wagner – Potsdam, Dresden, Munich, the Rheingau, the Swabian Alb, the Alps, our forests and lakes, the German food, 

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Na, there, you’ve finally positioned yourself!

the North Sea, the greatness, the tragedy, the ever again arising can do. 

We are the West and, for that, it always pays to fight.

Björn Höcke, December 3, 2025, Conscription

Thüringer Landtag, Plenarprotokoll 8/29, pp. 53-54. 

Right honorable Frau President, right honorable colleagues. 

Colleagues, like Boris Pistorius, for Germany, Fabien Mandon, the French chief of the general staff, for France, wants the war efficiency [Kriegstüchtigkeit]. He demands – I cite: The country needs to be ready to lose its children. 

Right honorable colleague members, please now in your thoughts take your son or grandchild in arms, feel his heartbeat and think of all the happy moments with him. And now please imagine how he with arms and legs torn away lies in a minefield and slowly bleeds to death. Imagine how a hollow charge has pierced the wall of his panzer and all lives in the interior are extinguished by a gigantic welding beam [Schweißstrahl]. Imagine how he as a prisoner of war is tortured. First, his ears are cut off, then his genitals, finally his eyes are put out. After hours, the torturer ends his agony in that he pours benzine over him and ignites. Thus, right honorable colleague members, die in a war young men of 18, 19, 20 years, who have established no families, who to some extent have still not lead their lives.   

Right honorable colleague members, it is here about the revival of the conscription [Wehrpflicht] in a quite concrete situation – a situation which is stamped by a war in the Ukraine and a showtime bellicosity of German politicians throughout the cartel parties. The people out there feel it is plainly not about their own way of life, since that assumes love of one’s own, that assumes patriotism. Yet the politicians of the CDU and Linke disdain this patriotism. And precisely that is the decisive point in the present discussion of the conscription. 

The revival of the conscription here and today cannot be well founded by the old parties. Therefore, young people and their parents intuitively and rightly reject the war efficiency project. The young people note that when an obligation to fulfill an ostensible securing of their future is exacted from them, at the same time the ruling Politik destroys this future piece by piece. What shall the young man, who knows no patriotism and no tradition, defend with a Bundeswehr? 

Yes, what shall he defend? Drag queen displays in kindergartens, the de-industrialization, the plundering of the social security system, the festival of lights secured with concrete walls, which earlier were called Christmas markets, the mass immigration which makes him feel foreign in his own land, the Schuldstolz? 

Right honorable colleague members, I want in closing to emphasize: Before one, single young man should under compulsion again enlist in uniform, this state needs to finally again become a state for the Germans – for the Germans. Freely directed and oriented toward German interests and clear in an understanding of the people. Before young people in this country are again taken by the Politik into the obligation, the Politik must first finally again enter into the obligation to its own people. 

I thank you for your attention.

Tino Chrupalla, December 17, 2025, German Security and the U.S.A.

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/49, pp. 5757-5759. 

Right honorable Herr President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen. Dear countrymen. 

Initially I want to remember the dead and wounded of the terror attack in Australia. We stand against this brutalization of and the growing violence against the vulnerable. It makes me speechless with which means throughout the world the struggle of the religions is ever still on the daily order, be it in the Near East, at attacks on German Christmas markets, or now in Sydney where a Jewish community wanted to celebrate the festival of lights. All of these incidents are to be condemned and political consequences need to be drawn, and precisely for that reason we as parliament need decide to speak out against religious fanaticism, extremism and terrorism. It is therefore only fitting when we as the Alternative für Deustschland demand consistently deporting perpetrators without German citizenship to their home countries, since these present a danger for all Germans, with or without a migration background. In that regard, in the various religions there should certainly exist a consensus, and which should enjoin peace. 

It is precisely these negotiations for peace which we since 2022 ever again demand for the Ukraine and Russia. The German governments under Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz have allowed themselves a long time for this. In the meantime, the re-elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, seizes the initiative and mediates between the parties to the conflict. The goal needs be ending the senseless death on both sides. I for years have said: The Ukraine will not be able to win this war. 

And what were the political consequences? Herr Merz burdens the German taxpayers with 70 billion euros of debt for weapons deliveries and military assistance to the Ukraine – and here we do not know to this day into which channels it in part trickles away – and with an additional 11.5 billion euros in the next budget. In addition comes the Bürgergeld payments in a sum of 6 billion euros per year to Ukrainians. 

Before which challenges do we now stand? After almost four years of war, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have fallen or been wounded; in addition, comes the civilian victims and a destroyed land. The United States for months have clearly signaled it will withdraw from the circle of supporters of the war. Yet that also means that the billions required for additional weapons purchases, for example in the U.S.A., now need to be paid for by Europe alone – thus, new debts for Germany and precisely that is completely unacceptable. 

I thus insist: It was and is not our war. At the beginning of the destruction was clear that here much money will be required for the reconstruction, that however also much more can be earned. Precisely there has Friedrich Merz been able to gather his best experiences in his mother house, BlackRock. Quite according to the motto: “Good business with other people’s money” [Mit fremdem Geld lässt sich gut wirtschaften], the Chancellor proceeds with his over-reaching plan to illegally expropriate Russian state assets and to give it to the Ukraine. This announcement alone pours additional oil on the fire of this war. Beyond that, the Chancellor promises that Germany self-evidently is readily available for an eventual default of payments. As has been said, Herr Merz: Other people’s money – the money of the Germans – is plainly easier given than one’s own. 

In common with your Union comrades in Brussels, you impose one sanction after another which should be directed against Russia, yet which primarily harm Germany. The energy prices burden the private budgets even so heavily as those of business. 

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Do you make a memorial of Putin, who has bombed                                       every week, every day? 

You are responsible for the death of the German economy, and there, Frau Haßelmann, the tears come to me. We in Germany in the year 2025 have lost almost 1,000 industrial workplaces per day; 60 bankruptcies per day. 

            Britta Haßelmann (Greens): Are you already through with the Ukraine?

It affects the automobile industry, its suppliers and thereby the skilled trades and the Mittelstand.  And “gone” means gone. You need be politically responsible for that, yet our children and grandchildren need to solve this dilemma. 

            Vice-president Omid Nouripour: Herr Chrupalla, do you allow an                                             interim question from member Hoffmann? 

No, later please. 

            Vice-president Omid Nouripour: Then continue readily.

And these need already today shoulder the financing of your credits. You make debts so as to be able to cope with the basic expenditures of the social system. The pensioners you fob off in the future with 48 percent of the last years of service. You drive those who create value, after at least 45 years of work, into old age poverty. Yet you want, ja, to bring precisely the pensioners again into an occupation and then call that an active pension [Aktivrente]. Know, Herr Merz, one as Chancellor can scarcely more dismissively deal with these who keep the social state running with their work. 

At the same time you drive forward the de-industrialization, willfully bring us into conflict with Russia and support a corrupt system around the still president Zelenskyi. Your colleagues of the Union delegation emphasize to the press the German Bundestag should be tied up in the use of the frozen Russian assets, and that shows us two things: First, you want to have your perfidious plan provided with a parliamentary majority. And second, we as members should agree to the almost certainly arising contributions of billions to the further support of the Ukraine. That is a deceit scarcely to be surpassed! 

            Steffen Bilger (CDU/CSU): Hä? Why then should the Bundestag occupy itself                                           with it?

You travel today and tomorrow for the EU summit. Should you there make good on precisely these commitments, with your solo you act completely against the interests of the German citizens. And I may therein remind you: In Germany are lacking investment means for the vital infrastrucure, for streets, bridges, railways, schools, hospitals and kindergartens. 

We are all elected by the German people so as to bring forward our country, Germany. Besides, with Victor Orbàn, Andrej Babis and Robert Fico, three EU countries have already indicated the rejection of using the Russian assets, or giving financial guaranties for the Ukraine. So much for your European unity. And those in the Union who still some weeks ago made themselves advocates of the transatlantic relations, now slowly note that there are no more guaranties and no hegemon. The United States’ new security strategy shows us quite clearly: In the center stands the U.S.A. – and only the U.S.A. – and which already has written off the partnership with the old Europe. 

            Jens Spahn (CDU/CSU): And therefore your young people make a pilgrimage                                           to America!

Simply nothing is understood of how one can bring balance to the continent and Europe’s interior security with a failed migration policy and lacking a relationship to Russia. 

And once again our Chancellor appears to falsely analyze this announcement. Driven by his old Federal Republic antipathy against the east, he drives forward strategies which let the graves become ever deeper, in foreign lands even so at home. At the CDU party day in Magdeburg, Herr Merz once again showed his quite charming side as he said he had the good fortune to have grown up in the west. And here you once again have misunderstood something: It is we eastern Germans who have given ourselves to the long way of integration in a unified Germany. We do not want to return to the old Federal Republic. 

            Ralf Stegner (SPD): You’ve still not arrived!

In that you give citizens in the east the feeling that, for you, they are of less value, you again prove your incapacity for dealing with people. 

            Jens Spahn (CDU/CSU): That is simply just nonsense, what you are telling here!

And therefore, Herr Chancellor, I am happy that you grew up in the west. You would have failed us in the east! 

            Jens Spahn (CDU/CSU): Oje, deeper is does not get!

Allow me in conclusion just briefly go into the Chancellor’s announcement to set up a multinational troop for the Ukraine. You thereby show not only that you continue to want to spin the escalation spiral in Europe. You speak of securities for the Ukraine, but mean armament and the construction of new scenarios of intimidation in Europe. 

            Steffen Bilger (CDU/CSU): That is bad for your Russian friends!

For me and us, you however also show that we, with our positioning for peace and against the reinstatement of conscription at the present point in time, stand exactly on the right side. Since this reinstatement indeed later becomes what you here today and also what you yesterday announced, and is in a later future only to be rejected. You said yesterday we would need to respond to a Russian attack. Meanwhile now, not unjustly, the German press also asks: Do you know what you actually said there? Do you actually know what that means, Herr Merz? – We cannot trust you. For you, it is not about the defense of the country. It is to be feared that you with your policy, in view of a loss of tension, initiate or want to initiate deploying conscripts in the Ukraine. 

            Lisa Badum (Greens): You are a problem for the defense of the country!

We do not trust you with our children! 

And in regards the present negotiations with the Ukraine has become very clear that it will be no part of NATO and thereby is excluded a possible alliance. You however attempt with all means to create options for yourself and the Ukraine to prolong the war. To that are we quite clearly opposed. 

The President of the United States had begun the negotiations with Russia as equals [auf Augenhöhe]. Your attempt, Herr Merz, to make clientele policy for Herr Zelenskyi will not be crowned with success. With your kind of policy-making, you were and remain at the children’s table. Herr Chancellor, a state is no international finance concern. Leave therefore the foreign policy to the foreign policy makers, and finally concern yourself over how you may relieve the German economy, the Mittelstand and the skilled trades, in west as in east. For that, you wanted to become Chancellor. Finally trouble yourself for Germany! 

Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to have left the east-west conflict behind us. With an international troop, you again conjure this up, Herr Merz. You, on that account, are and remain a diehard of the old FRG. You do not consider the future of our country or our children; you as Chancellor are already history. 

            Sara Nanni (Greens): Who actually wrote that for you?

I wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas and hope for a peaceful year in 2026. 

            Steffen Bilger (CDU/CSU): For the Ukraine, too!

Many hearty thanks.

René Aust, December 17, 2025, European Security and the U.S.A.

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-17(3-0098-0000). 

Herr President. 

For ten years were we of the AfD denigrated by you as militarists and as anti-Americans because we demanded investing in strategic autonomy, because we wanted that we invest in our capability and readiness in security policy. You have instead denied the reality. Barack Obama said already in the year 2011 that the U.S.A. would develop itself into a pacific country and that it is no longer desired to tie up additional forces in Europe. 

You have for 15 years squandered security policy on this continent. You have brought us to the dependency and to the dead end. On that account, you are also the wrong ones to bring us out again, since you now fall into the other extreme. From years-long, with the CDU even decades-long, submission vis-à-vis the U.S.A., you now fall into the extreme of insulting an entire government, even though there continues to be a large security policy dependency on the U.S.A. Numerous terror attacks, just lately in lower Bavaria, could nevertheless only be prevented because we have the U.S. American secret services information placed at our disposal. You risk with your anti-American course the security of Germans. We want authentic cooperation without submission and without pandering. We want an authentic partnership without anyone prescribing to us into which countries we have to send our soldiers, yet plainly also without instructions and affronts to other parts of the world.
