ALLIANCE FO§ DEMOCRACY

It’s all about the quota

Whenever elections interrupt the doings of the usual political elite and the true regents of the state behind them, big business and the banks, by popular participation, then the election has by definition been successful.
The 2013 Bundestag Election was decisive, because the situation with the Euro crisis and Euro rescue is so confused, that no one quite knows when the powder-keg that is the Euro will finally go up in smoke.
The problem is: It must be clear by now to all parties that the Euro is utterly doomed. Even the fanatical Angela Merkel must be aware of this. It is all the more incomprehensible that she is sticking to the rescue course.
The remarkable thing is that the election ended in a deadlock: The CDU/CSU are not capable of forming a government - the fact that the opposition consisting of the Green Party, the Left and the SPD did not long ago take steps to take over the government, and thus send Mrs. Merkel into the wilderness, shows how deeply politics is ensnared in a trap. No party wants to form a coalition with Mrs. Merkel after the debacle suffered by the FDP; a minority Merkel government is unfair to the electorate, which voted Merkel out.
Now the whole mess of the Euro crisis and alleged Euro rescue is so confused that the Greens will apparently be the first to replace their leadership – the rats are leaving the sinking ship. Even apart from the fact that nothing can save the next generation of Greens, those who voted green are rightly disappointed, because they elected Trittin, Künast and Roth. The SPD and their leading candidate Steinbrück are shrinking away from governmental responsibility, and clamour about the Left, who say that the SPD must come to them.
And while the entire European world is sinking into dust and ashes, German parties quibble over vanities. The supposed winner is Angela Merkel. Where there is no opposition, there is also no resistance –Merkel’s Euro “death ride” can continue apace. Popular representation is in any event a thing of the past – the matter in hand today is the deception of the people, and lies about the permanent devaluation of the Euro. The real concern is actually to put a stop to the decline of the single currency.
The government which wants to comply with its task of popular representation must introduce immediate currency reform. It still has just enough time to arrange this reform, and make the crash at least halfway bearable for the people of this country by means of legislation and support.
When Angela Merkel scored points during the election with the slogan of Adenauer: “No experiments”, this can only be regarded as strange: The Euro should never have been introduced. This was the experiment for which millions of Europeans are now suffering.
Even when entering office for the first time, she should have thoroughly checked the national coffers, in order not to hand over the finances of Germany entirely to unbridled and criminal banking cartels – she missed this opportunity completely. And now the competitiveness of Germany is declining the fake trading over the Euro and its rescue are no longer working, breaches of law, fraud and lies cannot pass much longer for politics.
It is up to the future government to look the truth in the eye and to share it with the people. The irresponsible acceptance of problems such as the influencing of the poverty report and circumvention of the Hartz-IV reform, the failure to introduce a reasonable minimum wage oriented along the lines of net wages, the NSA bugging scandal, the bank union, the concealment of the actual national debt of over € 12,000 billion (implicit and explicit debt) and the concealment of national bankruptcy cannot be tolerated any longer. All those who voted for the CDU/CSU should be aware of this, and should also realise: The party spirit and moral code have long since been forfeited, because the idea of the common Europe under the banner of a common currency is no longer valid.
And whoever now still believes that everything will turn out right in the end – they should be the first to lose their savings and their pensions to the future rapacious government – for everyone else, it must be hoped that vigorous resistance against mismanagement and stultification of the people will finally end in currency, and still with an acceptable quota!
