Man sollte sich von der vermeintlich süß-tantigen Ausstrahlung von Frau Sziborra-Seidlitz nicht täuschen lassen. Diese Frau, die sich gerne in Interviews als Anwältin der „Hamster, Wildbienen und Fledermäuse“ in der deutschen Fauna ausgibt, ist, auch wenn sie das vielleicht gerne erzählen will, keine ostdeutsche Mary Poppins, die Ordnung in das politisch verwüstete Kinderzimmer Sachsen-Anhalt bringen will. Die Grünen-Spitzenkandidatin war in ihrer Jugend ein Punk und bei der PDS - hinter der knuffig anmutenden Rockabilly-Fassade steckt eine Frau, die sich erst vor wenigen Jahren ein Tattoo mit dem Antifa-Spruch „Alerta“ stechen lassen hat, um, wie sie in Interviews beschreibt, ein Zeichen gegen die AfD zu setzen. Der Antifa-Spruch „No pasarán“, also „Sie werden nicht durchkommen“, steht schon länger auf ihrem Oberarm und im aktuellen Wahlkampf hat sie sich tatsächlich eine sozialistische Kampffaust tätowieren lassen, die eine Sonnenblume zwischen den Fingern hält. Was Sziborra-Seidlitz über die Neonazi-Vergangenheit ihres Mannes gesagt hat, möchte man ja grundsätzlich unterschreiben. Viele Menschen verirren sich in ihrer Jugend und finden auch wieder heraus - entsprechend hat es irgendwie immer was menschlich ekliges, solche Jugendgeschichten Jahrzehnte später wieder herauszuholen und zu skandalisieren. Offenbarend an ihrer Ansprache fand ich aber trotzdem, dass Sziborra-Seidlitz hier ihre Überzeugung darlegt, dass es Akzeptanz anderer Meinungen nur zu ihren eigenen Bedingungen gibt. Es reicht ja offensichtlich nicht, kein Nazi, sondern einfach nur rechts der politischen Mitte zu sein, um von Frau Sziborra als mündiger Bürger und Wähler angesehen zu werden, sonst würde sie nicht so überheblich davon reden, diese Wähler wie ihren Mann, wieder „zurückzuholen“. Nein, bei Sziborra-Seidlitz muss man schon Antifaschist sein, um ihre Absolution erteilt zu bekommen und zum „Demokraten“ ernannt zu werden. Dass genau diese arrogante Sicht auf die Wähler Sachsen-Anhalts gerade nicht demokratisch ist, sondern womöglich vielmehr vom langen Schatten ihrer PDS-Sozialisierung zeugt, sieht sie freilich nicht - oder will es nicht. #Politik #Wahlen #Demokratie
