Martin Hess: “Stop Taking Our Citizens for Fools”

The following speech was delivered last month on the floor of the Bundestag by a member of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany).

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

The translator includes this introductory note:

This speech was given on April 10, 2024, by the AfD Bundestag member Martin Hess, police chief commissioner. He sharply attacked the past CDU/CSU-led government and the current SPD/Greens/FDP government, and accused them of consciously bringing about the enormous increase in violent crimes due to borderless immigration.

The Federal Minister of the Interior is a “convictionist” who believes her policy is absolutely right, no matter what it costs German citizens in terms of life and health. In his remarks, the chief inspector only hinted at the criminal dimension of their actions. It still needs to be addressed, as does the proven globalist goal of dissolving culturally homogeneous peoples such as the Germans.

Video transcript:

00:01   Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Schierenbeck, your statements only prove one thing:
00:07   the SPD is the gravedigger of internal security in Germany.
00:10   Our country can no longer be left to them.
00:13   The current police crime statistics for 2023
00:18   show a colossal failure by the Federal Minister of the Interior in the state’s most important task:
00:23   namely, ensuring the protection and security of its own citizens.
00:27   The minister’s amateurism, incompetence and, above all, her left-green-red narrow-mindedness
00:33   have ensured that Germany is more unsafe than it has been for 15 years.
00:37   This situation is no longer acceptable and must finally stop.
00:42   The current security situation is nothing short of shocking.
00:45   The number of violent crimes is at an all-time high of over 214,000 per year.
00:51   The proportion of foreign suspects here is 41.5% and is therefore almost three times as high
00:59   as the proportion of the total population. And the proportion of so-called immigrants is 13.5%,
01:05   more than five times their share of the resident population.
01:08   While the increase in this area of “violent crimes”
01:12   among German suspects was only 2.2%,
01:15   the increase among non-German suspects was 14.4%,
01:21   and among so-called immigrants it was even 20.3%,
01:26   which is ten times higher than in German suspects.
01:29   In the case of murder and manslaughter, the number of German suspects fell by 1.4%,
01:37   while the number of foreign suspects increased by 10.2% and immigrants by 14.8%.
01:44   These numbers only allow one conclusion:
01:48   the erosion of internal security, the increasing number of barbaric knife attacks,
01:53   the increasingly cruel sexual crimes and the ever more brutal
01:57   assault and robbery crimes in our country
02:00   are to blame for the borderless and irresponsible diversity and multicultural craze
02:06   of the Traffic Light government. And that is why there is no way around
02:11   an immediate correction of this devastating migration policy.
02:14   And stating this fact is neither xenophobic nor racist; it is simply the truth.
02:20   So finally stop defaming the AFD and the citizens of our country
02:24   as right-wing extremists for speaking this truth!
02:27   We just want to finally get our safe Germany back, and this traffic light coalition
02:33   is neither willing nor able to do that. Because you, Minister Faeser —
02:36   and the PKS [Police Crime Statistic] numbers clearly prove this —
02:40   have long since lost control of internal security.
02:44   And that is why appeals to you to finally implement a better security policy,
02:49   as the CDU/CSU always does, are completely pointless.
02:52   Because you are a person of conviction.
02:55   You wouldn’t dream of correcting the devastating migration policy,
02:59   because deep down you think it’s absolutely right,
03:03   no matter what it costs German citizens in terms of life and health.
03:07   And you don’t appeal to persuasive people, but rather ensure that
03:10   they have to vacate their ministerial chair as quickly as possible.
03:14   More and more citizens are no longer fooled by you.
03:18   If you now suddenly say, quote, “If you don’t follow the rules, you have to leave,”
03:24   then one thinks that you haven’t heard correctly. The citizen immediately recognizes three things:
03:28   First, you are shamelessly adopting an AfD demand that we have been making since 2015, and
03:33   have so far placed everyone who has formulated it so clearly in the right-wing extremist corner.
03:38   Your behavior is therefore pure hypocrisy. Second, the statement is true in terms of content,
03:43   but is only necessary because of the CDU/CSU during their time in government,
03:47   and you have just now allowed these violent criminals into our country
03:51   through a completely unacceptable migration policy.
03:54   The principle that the AfD for a long time has been calling for is better:
03:58   Anyone who doesn’t follow the rules and wants to enter Germany illegally
04:03   won’t come into Germany in the first place.
04:06   And thirdly, last year the chancellor announced to the major media
04:12   that deportations should finally be carried out on a large scale.
04:15   To date, absolutely nothing has happened. And that’s why your statement is worth nothing.
04:20   Every day that you remain in the office of Federal Interior Minister is a bad day for Germany.
04:26   And finally, a word to your colleagues from the CDU/CSU:
04:30   Today you are once again acting as representatives
04:36   of a restrictive migration policy. And let me remind you:
04:39   It was during your time in government that the number of violent crimes
04:45   increased to 193,000 in 2016.
04:48   Ergo, it was the CDU/CSU
04:51   that imported violent crime into Germany to an unimaginable extent.
04:56   Our country has not yet recovered from this.
04:59   So spare us your double standards in the future,
05:02   and finally stop taking our citizens for fools. —Thank you very much.
05:08   The next speaker is the colleague Marcel Emmerich, Alliance 90/The Greens.
05:12   Thank you very much.
 

One thought on “Martin Hess: “Stop Taking Our Citizens for Fools”

  1. I remember a quote from AVATAR that fits:

    Dr. Grace Augustine: Ya see, ya see? They’re just (releasing the liquid waste of a human body from the kidneys) on us without even giving us the courtesy of calling it rain.
