€300 per head: Baerbock makes Germans pay for an evacuation flight
- The federal government is demanding €300 per person for evacuation from Israel.
- Special flights from Deutsche Lufthansa are supposed to evacuate Germans.
- Numerous other countries fly their citizens out on military planes.
The federal government has set a fee of €300 per person for the evacuation of German citizens from Israel. This became known after Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock rejected the use of military aircraft for the evacuation.
According to a letter from the German embassy in Tel Aviv, which The Pioneer has seen, up to four special flights per day are operated by Deutsche Lufthansa at the request of the Foreign Office. The flight tickets can be booked via the Lufthansa hotline, which has been active since Wednesday at 6 p.m. However, only people who are on the ELEFAND crisis preparedness list can purchase tickets. There are currently around 4,500 people on this list.
Criticism of crisis management
While many countries evacuate their citizens using military aircraft without additional fees, Germany has chosen a different route. Foreign Minister Baerbock justified the decision against the use of military aircraft by citing the large number of German citizens in Israel. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky even made a stop in Israel on his return trip from Oman and took 34 citizens back to his homeland on the government plane. It was the first visit abroad since the Hamas terror outbreak.
Afterword from the translator:
Well, I have to say that nothing, but absolutely NOTHING, has changed in the German government’s stance regarding their own citizens that are trapped in suddenly erupted war zones. They did the same to us in Rwanda. My then-girlfriend Veronika (Czech) only got out because I got her onto a French flight FREE. The German Government couldn’t be bothered; they wanted cash up front — RWF 35,000, over DM 400 at that time, per person — and since the banks were closed in Kigali and we had no access to our money… tough luck. I got out overland and into the Congo several weeks later.
If I had to do that again, I would claim to be an asylum seeker, That way you’re “rescued” quicker than you can pack a tog-bag, and get free accommodation, money and whatnot from the German Government.
The Germans have military aircraft? That work?
Very few, their military is in complete disarray.
No doubt they are shipped east or in the shop being converted to wind power. And none done by one native potato eater.
Junkers, Heinkel, Messerschmitt… Oops, where have all those gone?
Can’t someone, anyone rid ourselves of this most troublesome woman?
Shades of Thomas Becket…
I don’t think anyone would make a martyr of that sow.
All hilarity aside, this should anger any German with more than a few brain cells to rub together. One of the few legitimate functions of a government is to protect its citizens. As such, evacuating one’s citizens from a conflict zone should be a no-brainer regarding the use of German military assets. Those aircraft and military personnel are already budgeted for and cost the government the same if they are engaged in mutual onanism in a barracks in Germany or flying into Tel-Aviv to extract fellow Germans.
Charging citizens for the cost of flying them out on a national airline says far more about how the reptilians, many of whom are also joos, really feel about their fellow co-religionists, and more especially their attitudes towards the lower classes.
Moon: Chermans cannot be angered. Ziss vould not be helpvul.
Moon, good catch with the Becket reference. Baerbock is a laughing stock in Germany, she gives orders and everybody ignores them claiming the communications didn’t reach them, the minions in the ministry shuffle at it’s finest. This most troublesome woman’s days are numbered.
From a previous GoV article about Germanistan’s wunderfrau –
“ALB, Baerbock’s initials, are now considered the smallest unit of measurement for the distance between two blunders…”
In the era of WEF acolytes competence is irrelevant to gaining and keeping office. This suites Baerbock just fine, since she’s wholly on board with the WEF agenda and can execute their orders no matter how stupid or foolish.
Sooner or later incompetence runs smack dab into cold harsh reality who has little time or patience with the incompetent.
Joetato is demanding Americans stranded in Israel sign contracts to pay for being flown out to our GOVERNMENT!
Joetato is just as bad as the jerks in Germany. Slowly Americans with functioning brain cells are waking up to what’s been going on in our country and the world in recent days/months. thank God.
Baerbock’s plane broke down on the way somewhere about a year ago. I think the evacuees are lucky to travel commercial, more reliable.
The German Luftwaffe loves to show these politicians that lack of money for spare parts to fix aircraft has consequences and then make them fly commercial last minute so they have to fly coach with the rest of us, they did it to Merkel and the last 2 female defense ministers.
You should see what the US charges its citizens for evac flights … and they make the citizen sign a promissory note for the cost.
And yes, enrichers ride for free.
Tax write off???
