German Policemen and soldiers are not far-right, but only extremely disappointed
PART 3.
Now it may be said that this is the case in a Union that is plucked by poor election results, plagued by programmatic disorientation and shaken by a meandering candidate for chancellor. There is no time spent thinking or self-doubt. One prefers to quickly reach for the saber, let him down on friend and foe and leave a deep. But the problem goes even deeper. The reaction to Mr Merz's statement is also so sharp because most of those involved at least suspect that there is something about it. Only what exactly lies wrong, many Union princes seem to have not yet been able to open up. Perhaps they should talk to federal police officers and Bundeswehr soldiers more often.
Yes, maybe they should even get over the heart of changing words with one or the other AfD MP. You don't have to coalesce with them right away. But there are not only spinners, haters and right-wing extremists in this party.
There are, for example, former police officers who think anything but are extremely disappointed: disappointed that the federal authorities have temporarily given up control of public power in the wake of the refugee crisis. Disappointed that the chancellor had not declared her migration policy at all, or only far too late. Disappointed that ministers are making fine talk about internal security, while many civil servants feel left alone when they go to train stations or in inner cities at night. If, they report, they pick up foreigners who have already been legally deported twice, but are still allowed to enter and remain temporarily for a third time. Sure, these may be isolated cases, but in some conversations you get the impression that there are quite a few individual cases in this country in which the political speeches do not fit the bleak reality. Not just now, however, but for years. And now Mr Merz comes along, notices the problem and gets a nice headline for it. And then two federal ministers come along, put him in the snare for it and also get nice headlines. I am not a psychologist, but I suspect that such a political exchange of blows is unlikely to appease the frustration of those policemen and soldiers who have turned their backs on government policy. Does the Home Secretary not see this problem – or does he not want to see it? It is much worse, says the FDP politician Konstantin Kuhle: people like Mr. Seehofer have systematically mispronounced the policies of their own government, but also democracy. This is another reason why the confidence of many security forces in the rule of law has been shaken. Kuhle already got his thesis a year ago in a guest post for t- online. en executed. Worth reading. Maybe someone in the Home Office is printing the article for the boss."
