Gottfried Curio, May 11, 2023, Immigration and Politics

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/103, pp. 12394-12395.

Right honorable President. Ladies and gentlemen.

The Ampel grandly announced in the coalition contract a repatriation offensive, yet for which certainly the thereto belonging FDP announcements party did not deliver. The number of deportations is far less than even before the pandemic. There is simply no migration agreement for the return of rejected asylum applicants. The show agreement with India does not function. In regards over 800 Indians without a pass who in Sachsen-Anhalt are liable for repatriation, nothing happens. Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Morocco – generally nothing. The theme of “Dublin Repatriations in other EU Countries”: It in the last year failed by far over 90 percent.   

What does the standstill coalition do? They set up new incentives for additional migration and secondary migration to Germany: Extension of social benefits, extended rights to remain, an abolition of revocation checking. This naturally intensifies already existing repatriation problems. SPD Interior Minister Faeser positions herself against even the EU with her rejection of a visa lever against uncooperative states of origin; actually just as needed as the reduction of development aid. There lacks any political will for enforcement – similarly as in regards the acknowledgment of the Maghreb states as secure states of origin – blocked by the governing party of the Greens, supported by the FDP. Toss out those who sustain the government! Its time as well is past, for the people have noted how the dangerous fanaticism of this eco-dictatorship sect in its deterioration coalition squashes the citizens’ interests.

The Union’s answer: A mix of right and wrong. Naturally, it is right to take over the AfD’s years-long demands. How reliable that is, each can judge when you previously rejected these same demands made by the AfD. But, ja, it requires the repatriations offensive, bilateral return agreements. Only how the FDP announcements party speaks of that does not suffice. Naturally, the EU visa lever needs to be on the table, those considered a danger and obliged to depart, and criminals, need to be deported. Certainly the same is required for Iraq, Syria, Eritrea, Somalia. In any case, it’s a good idea to agree with the AfD demands, ladies and gentlemen.   

Certainly the actual deportation policy in the Union’s 16 years in government unfortunately indicates no essentially different picture from that of today’s government. When you announce to shortly again form a coalition with exactly these Ampel parties against which these ostensibly oppositional demands should be directed, then the voters note that and, in case of doubt, prefer to vote for the original.  

Certainly then no one needs what is further in your motion: To financially strengthen the promotion of voluntary returns by means of counseling centers in foreign countries. Financially promoted voluntary departures scarcely work; some again re-enter. From the net asylum application benefits, money is sent home. This needs to be converted to benefits in kind, as for long demanded by the AfD. Only thus will one of the most important incentive factors be finally eliminated. The migration change, ladies and gentlemen, comes only with the AfD.

Simply summarized: That which in your motion is good and right, is from the AfD; what is not from it, is not good.

Ladies and gentlemen, a majority of Germans want that finally fewer migrants be admitted. A majority say: The current admissions policy brings primarily disadvantages for Germany. Other countries simply make policy for their own citizens. Denmark self-evidently permits judicial deportations to Syria, just as does Hungary. Yet it happens here with us in Germany, to where one million Syrians from foreign countries could suddenly be brought, to indeed be left here at the cost of our working people, there are just no negotiations on a migration agreement – which the Union also does not want.  

In that regard, the civil war there is long since at an end – not in the Union, but in Syria. Here is finally required a policy primarily in the interests of German citizens. That is only with the AfD. We therefore say to you, ladies and gentlemen: It’s not the heating that needs to be exchanged, but this government!

I thank you.

Gunnar Beck, May 9, 2023, Scholz in Brussels

AfD Kompakt, May 9, 2023.

Who like Germany suffers from helper’s syndrome can accept no leadership role in Europe and overtake responsibility for the the future of the continent. Chancellor Scholz’s demand in his speech is amiss.

Germany in the past has in regards migration, the euro and now the Ukraine often sought to help other countries and to find solutions for their problems without thereby sufficiently taking into consideration its own interests. It has thereby neglected its own needs and harmed itself. This relationship is not only detrimental for Germany itself but also for Europe as a whole.

It is time that Germany freed itself from this helper’s syndrome and concentrated itself on its own interests and needs. Only so can it in the long-term contribute to Europe’s welfare. That would be an authentic day of liberation for Germany and a day of celebration for Europe.

I therefore demand of the German government to pursue a new policy which is based on a realistic valuation of its own interests and needs. Only so can Germany, conscious of its responsibility, play a constructive role in Europe.

Tino Chrupalla, May 10, 2023, German De-industrialization and the U.S.A.

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/102, pp. 12290-12291.

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

Robert Habeck has made the Economy Ministry into the Nepotism Economy Ministry: State secretaries are married to, related to, or are the in-laws of experts, an entire family clan; the spouse wants to procure a job for the best man, etc., etc. These hagglings occur at the Bundestag and have nothing but nothing to do with the civil service ethic which distinguishes our country. It destroys trust in politics and befits a Green transformation agenda. Herr Habeck, you have today spoken in committee of compliance, yet of ethics you apparently have never heard anything. In politics, it is about values like trust and credibility, which you have damaged beyond measure.

The Union now wants to draw consequences from the family entanglements. They want to set up an investigating committee. Which we will exactly so demand. If the Union should place this demand before us, we will thence of course support it. Nevertheless, this committee is allowed to uncover not only the Graichen clan’s family entanglements. Namely, it is about the central question: Will the energy transition [Energiewende], which destroys our prosperity, be directed by foreign power and capital interests?

            Michael Kruse (FDP): This the righteous ask!

Are the Greens fulfilling the sell-out of our country in foreign interests? Precisely that is the crux of the matter. Precisely that is brought home by last week’s revelations.

You here in your speeches, and those of the CDU, have only scratched the surface. My colleague Beatrix von Storch has in this place designated the Greens as the political arm of these global financial interests. She has thereby laid the finger in the wound. That was bitterly necessary; since the Greens quite openly feed our country to the oligarchs.

That would be, for example, Hal Harvey, by the Zeit named as “the world’s most powerful Green”.

            Markus Humpfer (SPD): Who then yesterday was with Putin?

He finances Green institutions and foundations and co-founded the Agora Energiewende. Patrick Graichen was chief lobbyist there before Robert Habeck named him State Secretary. Agora besides already in 2021 demanded the ban on oil and gas heating. The study’s author, Christian Maaß – on that, here it is about quite other persons – is meanwhile also State Secretary for Habeck.

            Felix Banaszak (Green): Nein! Read the organization chart!

Agora Energiewende already last year announced the breakthrough for the heating pump. Thus it needs be asked: Is that clairvoyance or is that manipulation?

Those suffering from this lobby swamp are the simple German citizens, those of the Mittelstand, tradesmen, industrial workers. They need to tear out flooring and exchange heaters. Every second household is presently heated with natural gas, every fourth with oil. For a heating pump, the citizens need to pay up to 25,000 euros for those using air, and up to 40,000 euros for those using ground warmth, in addition to 10,000 euros for floorboard heating – an all, 75 billion euros. Roofs and facades need to be insulated. Every tradesman knows this. I say to you where that leads to: For thousands and thousands, directly to old age poverty. That is what your name, Herr Habeck, stands for.

Do not forget. The Green energy transition is closely connected with the economic war against Russia. Already in 2016, Habeck announced he will stop gas imports from Russia because we are an energy transition country. Was the Ukraine war thus only an occasion, but not the reason, for the end of Nord Stream?

Katharina Dröge (Greens): You have gotten deeply lost in conspiracy theories! That is  really sad!

An additional oligarch with BlackRock, Larry Fink, is allowed to coordinate the reconstruction of the Ukraine. The more kaputt it is, the higher the investments. With Friedrich Merz, ja, sits a leader of the opposition in this house who has been for years active as a top lobbyist for BlackRock. I ask the CDU: Do you not lie in bed with these same investors as do the Greens? Who shall be, ja, your next coalition partners? Since January, Elga Bartsch works as leader in the policy department of Habeck’s Ministry. She is something like the brain of the BMWK [Federal Ministry for Economy and Climate]. Frau Bartsch was previously research leader at BlackRock in London.  

            Stephan Brandner (AfD): That’s a coincidence!

And the investigating committee needs to pursue these network threads. Does the Ministry itself here coordinate the sell-out of our economy?

Then a criticism to the German media: To research precisely this, – my esteemed colleague Alice Weidel already said it yesterday – to pursue its entirety, and to drain this entire swamp would be the duty of the German media, and not to fight the opposition.

The heating branch of the German family business Viessmann is to be sold for 12 billion euros to the U.S. concern Carrier Global. The U.S.A. profits from forced heat pumping which U.S.-financed lobbyists have previously planned. Precisely this policy is not in the citizens’ interest. The heating ban therefore needs to be withdrawn. And, Herr Habeck, you need to be exchanged. It would be more convenient to exchange you than millions of heaters in Germany.

This monstrous situation – last sentence, Frau President – needs to be clarified. Then will be shown who really profits from the de-industrialization of Germany.

Many thanks.

Stephan Brandner, May 5, 2023, Juvenile Crime

AfD Kompakt, May 5, 2023.

The police criminal statistics show a mournful picture: Children ever more frequently become perpetrators. The facts alone that 18 children under 14 years are suspects of a homicide and that almost 10,000 children are suspected of serious bodily harm makes clear that the policy is not allowed to shut its eyes to this development. Yet the numbers also show that juvenile violence and crime is clearly impressed by migration and ever again Syrian and Afghan citizenship weighs negatively. In how far here a flawed age determination was relevant needs thus far to remain open.
