Review proceedings against Wulff

It can currently be reported that the Hannover Public Prosecutor’s Office has instituted review proceedings against the acquittal in the indictment proceedings against former Federal President Dr. Christian Wulff.

A matter which can only be regarded as lamentable for the taxpayer.

The previous Public Prosecutor’s investigation proceedings and the institution of the indictment proceedings themselves, at a cost of millions of Euro, as described extensively on our website, have already cost the taxpayer far too much, although the whole affair is over a paltry amount of € 750. These € 750 are supposed to have been assumed by a friend (Groenewold) as host of the former Federal President. If the former Federal President had paid these costs himself, his expenses would have been reimbursed from state funds. In other words: The whole affair is a bagatelle. The proceedings are a lamentable and ridiculous piece of politically-staged theatre by a Public Prosecutor’s Office bound by the instructions of party-politics, i.e. the state and national government. The Alliance for Democracy always expected an acquittal - the legal situation is clear - the review is completely nonsensical.

The Constitution was created unethically in 1949 without consultation of the people. The Constitution envisages no co-determination. The representatives (politicians) of the sovereign authority (the people) have elevated themselves to the position of undisputed sovereignty through deception of the people. In their striving for power, the politicians did not even stop at undermining the foundations of a state under the rule of law. According to the Constitution, the Public Prosecutor’s Office is bound by instructions, i.e. (party-)politics determines how and against whom the Public Prosecutors proceed. Politics thus secures its own power – undesirable / dangerous persons are excluded by the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

If such a review procedure is again set in motion despite a clear acquittal by the presiding judge, this can be for only one reason: Those responsible for this game of politics versus politics - namely the CDU leadership as a whole and including the Party Chairperson Dr. Angela Merkel (and also Chancellor of the FRG in personal union) - cannot live with the acquittal of the Euro-critical troublemaker Wulff. They are not prepared to accept this loss of image. The prejudicial campaign by politics / business and the press is to continue. The losers now seek their salvation in the review and further evidence that might conjure up even a small stain on the reputation of Dr. Christian Wulff.

It is a tragedy and a simultaneous frivolous insolence towards the population to spend millions in tax funds on such buffoonery. It is against the interests of the people of the country. Not only because the money is being wasted, but also because Wulff was the only leading politician who devoted himself to the interests of the German people in the midst of the Euro crisis.

Wulff wanted some form of creditor protection for the population of the Federal Republic of Germany - which in the event of national insolvency - national insolvency is being delayed at the cost of the citizens - is not provided for under the insolvency regulations of the FRG. An insolvency regulation for private persons and companies should guarantee them creditor protection. The corporations under public law, i.e. the state, are completely excepted from such regulations: if its leaders mismanage it, the state does not fall under the mandatory regulations of creditor protection, although these leading persons themselves fall under the insolvency regulations in the event of personal insolvency. An untenable situation.

Wulff wanted at least to prevent the worst, and put an end to the liability of the German people for foreign debts incurred by the ESM and ECB. Because the ESM and ECB help nobody, and serve only to delay the insolvency of the supported bankrupt countries. This delaying of insolvency causes immense costs - leaving all the less for the citizen when the crash finally comes. Wulff wanted to prevent that. Because he recognised that the costs of delaying insolvency are so high that such a delay at the cost of citizens cannot be justified under any circumstances, and that this results in increasing injustice to future generations (future generations will be liable for our debts.) The Euro policy swept him out of the way by a smear campaign, in order to be able to continue the Euro rescue with equal disregard. It may be that not everything was 100% above board with Wulff, but anyone who believes that this is any different in the case of any other politician is naive. There was nothing criminal about the matter - criminal law never came into the question - but simply the removal of an inconvenient politician.

Christian Wulff did the right thing in the opinion of the Alliance for Democracy. But politics and business would not leave him alone, and drove him out of office in an unprecedented campaign. The review of the Public Prosecutor’s Office is the latest step in this infamous campaign.

The story is unfortunately a repeat of the same mistake. Wulff is not the only Federal President who fell victim to Chancellor Merkel and her Euro policy. His predecessor, Horst Köhler, also met with the displeasure of the Chancellor, because he reviewed laws independently and sometimes refused his signature. The conflict came to a head when the Chancellor pushed through the aid for Greece. She put Köhler under massive pressure. Köhler initially acceded, but then later resigned.
