Two memorial sites for €500,000: Berlin is now building migrant monuments
The Berlin Senate, led by CDU leader Wegner, is planning money in its budget to set up monuments to guest workers and contract workers. Because: “Immigration is in the interest of the country.” [No, it’s in the interest of the globalists, their puppeticians and useless idiots.]
Berlin
The Berlin CDU-SPD Senate has agreed to provide half a million euros in the 2024/25 double budget for the construction of two monuments to migrants. This is intended to honour both the guest workers who have immigrated since the 1960s and the foreign GDR contract workers. [Funny, I met a guy in Mozambique in ‘96, born in Dresden, East Germany, who had been kicked out after Germany was reunited, he spoke with a broad Saxon accent and helped me.]
“It is a good time for this,” said SPD MP Sevim Aydin to the dpa [news agency]. Because there is a current reference: “Back then they needed workers, and that’s why guest workers were brought in.” Today there is a clear shortage of skilled workers — and again there is a discussion about foreign workers. [The lie about the shortage of ‘skilled’ workers from the Third World again. What a sick joke that one is.]
Monuments as a contribution to the migration debate
According to the Turkish-origin MP, the monument, which is currently called the “Guest Workers’ Monument”, could make a contribution to the current debate on migration and integration. But above all it is about the first generation of Turks and Southern Europeans: “They have contributed to the prosperity of this country and shown that immigration is in this country’s interest.”
At the same time, the Senate, led by Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) , wants to build a memorial to the contract workers who came to what was then the GDR beginning in the 1960s, mostly from Vietnam, Hungary, Mozambique, Angola and Nicaragua.
According to Aydin, there will be two separate remembrance projects — both in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. What the monuments will look like is still unclear. The Berlin Senate will soon be launching a competition. [And it will be an abomination in more ways than one.]
Afterword from the translator:
Is that why the monuments to the Trümmerfrauen (rubble women) were removed?
Hmm, if this is true that the first generation of guest workers (who were all thoroughly examined by German doctors before entering the country) have ensured the prosperity of Germany, then the question that should be raised and concerns me is: If they are so efficient, why didn’t they stay in their own countries — including Ms. S. Aydin!! — and bring about prosperity there!? According to the Turk, they did and can. Why don’t any of the politicians ask her that? Why doesn’t Erdogan, for example, beg every Turk in Germany to come back and ensure prosperity in Turkey? Questions upon questions…. Well, I guess you can’t thank the Turks enough for rebuilding Germany after the war. /irony off
In reality, Erdogan sends his bashi-bazouks to Germany so that they can send the social welfare money, jizyah, back to Turkey to ensure prosperity. But I guess that concept is starting to run dry fast.
