(TR) Why? Because Germany has a special relationship with Israel? Because Russia has turned public opinion against Germany? Because Germany gives the most money of all countries for development aid?

(TR) I recommend reading the Tichy-applauding Drukos if you want to get a sense of what threats dark-skinned people face when they are generalized by Tichy as potential criminals, should this AfD mob come to power.

(TR) The global trend to the right must have been favored by cross-national factors... Notably, today not only politicians feel the unbridled rage of citizens but also rescue workers, conductors, and hospital staff.

(TR) Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine does not stop at the borders of other countries. The right response: even stronger support for Ukraine. As soon as Putin realizes that Russia is losing this war, the risk of escalation will be mitigated.

(TR) Those who want to strengthen rural areas must not ideologically exacerbate the bus driver shortage. Germany is already short about 20,000 bus drivers today. As soon as it becomes specific, the AfD turns practical solutions into a cultural battle. This helps no one in Germany.

(TR) And imagine this: Many buses and trucks are already driving on German roads, whose drivers do not speak German. Not to mention the many cars.

(TR) Whoever wants to strengthen rural areas must not ideologically exacerbate the bus driver shortage. In Germany, there are already about 20,000 bus drivers missing today. As soon as it becomes concrete, the AfD turns practical solutions into a cultural struggle. This helps no one in Germany.

(TR) Naturalization can only happen for those who speak German and are self-sufficient, meaning they have a job and a home. Without immigration, Germany loses 1.5 million inhabitants every year, which is like losing a city the size of Munich annually.

(TR) Naturalized citizens can only be those who speak German and support themselves, meaning they have a job and a place to live. Without immigration, Germany loses 1.5 million residents every year, which is like losing a city the size of Munich annually.

(TR) 3/3 The dignity of man is inviolable. I accuse the AfD of wanting to undermine that. And with that, they are undermining the fundamental idea of our democracy.

(TR) 2/3 that we have to make binding? He said, in short: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Everyone, worldwide! Five months later, our Basic Law was adopted, and it begins in Article one with the same thought:

(TR) "In 1948, when the world war was over and two atomic bombs had fallen on Japan, representatives of the United Nations sat together and considered: What must we do to prevent such catastrophes from happening again, what is actually the key thought..."

(TR) The Basic Law is based on conditions that it cannot guarantee itself - but whose values must be shared and lived by society. A ethnonationalist way of thinking and the associated racism undermines this value foundation of the Basic Law.

Ruprecht Polenz: Meine Kinder haben zu mir gesagt: Du musst den Enkeln Demokratie erklären. Ich musste zunächst an die bekannte Fabel »Farm der Tiere« von George Orwell denken.
