The
leader of German’s far right party AfD, Frauke Petri, has reacted to the Berlin
attack, by saying that Germany was no longer safe.
The
question is what make Germany unsafe? Is it the asylum seekers or is it perhaps Germany’s
right wing extremists who attack migrants and asylum homes who make Germany unsafe? Or the woman [the
same Petri] who spreads hatred by demanding that border police should shoot those
crossing the border illegally? Or the woman [Petri again] who suggested that a multicultural
society with immigrants and refugees is akin to a compost heap. Or the man
[this time it is her partner], Marcus Pretzell, another AfD star, who blaming
Chancellor Merkel for the situation, said that the Berlin casualties were “her
dead”?
If the Berlin
dead are the “Merkel dead”, perhaps the hatemongers from the right should be
referred to as the “Hitler living”?
As I don´t go to Xmas markets, no risk for me.... I think it is a real problem, that media and social media blow every terrorist act to a mega event. The global hyperventilation gives oxygen into the fire, because these terrorist are doing everything to get attention. A bit like Trump. I don´t want to give him any more of my personal attention, I don´t buy newpapers with him on the cover.... I told my daughter today, she shouldn´t follow every hysteric news about the Berlin attack. In a few days well get clearer informations. Keep cool.
ReplyDeleteAdd Petri to Trump.
They are not Merkel`s dead, of course.
ReplyDeleteBut there is no denying that many of the attacks carried out by immigrants during the last 15 months are connected to Merkel`s open door policies. The indiscriminate influx of migrants from all over the
world has cost the lives of German and other citizens. It has torn at the fabric of German society. The right wing AFD, led by Petry, has good reason to thank Merkel for its existence because it came about as reaction to these policies. And nobody knows how many Englishmen (and
-women) voted for Brexit because they saw what was happening in the middle of Europe, in Germany.
Merkel`s "Wir schaffen das" (we`ll make it) does not hold for those who are dead now.
One can only envy America for the wisdom of its founding fathers who
stipulated that no president must reign for more than 8 years.
