The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholzhe replied this Saturday to the US vice president, JD Vancethat your country does not He will accept that foreigners are entrusted into democracy and the German elections next week with their support for the alternative ultra -right party for Germany (AFD) and calls to eliminate the sanitary cord that the other formations have imposed.
“AFD is a game, which, from its ranks trivializes how ‘Bird shit‘of German history socialism and His monstrous crimes -Crimes against humanity, such as those committed in (the Nazi concentration camp of) Dachau, “Scholz said in his speech at the Munich Security Conference.
The Foreign Minister recalled that Vance had visited the day before his controversial speech in which he criticized European democracy precisely in the Northwest Extermination Field of Munichwhere he affirmed that this terrible place – at least 41,500 people of hunger, diseases, torture, murders and the consequences of imprisonment died – reminds all of the reason why “we must work so that this does not happen again.”
Therefore, Scholz stressed, the commitment to the “anymore! “It is not compatible with the support of the AFD, and” for that We will not accept that strangers intervene in our democracyin our elections and in the formation of democratic opinion in favor of this party. “
The Social Democratic politician, who is again presented as a candidate for the Chancellor in the general elections of next Sunday, emphasized that this “is not a receipt, and less between friends and allies”, in reference not only to Vance and his speech in full German electoral campaign, but also, although without naming it, to the explicit support of the technological billionaire Elon Musk to AfD.
“We and nobody else!”
“We firmly reject it. We decided on ourselves what happens with our democracy.Us and nobody else! “The German chancellor said that” current democracy in Germany and Europe is based on the historical certainty that democracies can be destroyed by antidemocratic radicals. “
“That is why we have created institutions that make our democracies defenses against their enemies. And norms that do not bring our freedom, but protect it“He insisted. Vance’s speech has created great discomfort in Germany and among several European leaders who heard their words in Munich, since its central thesis was that the main threat to Europe did not come either from Russia or China but from the interior same of the continent.
It is in Europe, according to the US Vice President, where freedom of opinion and even democracy is threatened by an alleged marginalization that suffer “left and right populist parties” with “alternative view points.”
Vance criticized the cancellation of Presidential elections in Romania After the triumph of the ultra -rightist Calin Georgescu for an alleged Russian interference and the fact that the deputies of the alternative ultra -rightist for Germany (AFD) and the left -wing populist Alianza Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) had not been invited to the security conference.
He also assured that in a democracy there should be no place for a “Sanitary Cord“, In clear allusion to the fact that the German democratic parties have so far refused to cooperate with the AFD – second force in the surveys – behind the conservatives.
Scholz reiterated that in Germany everyone agrees that the extreme right must be excluded “from decision -making and There will be no cooperation with them“
Vance was the eve with the leader and candidate for the Foreign Minister of the Ultra -Right Force, Alice Weidel, according to the ZDF television network. He also interviewed the Chief of Conservatives, Friedrich Merz, whose party leads the polls.
The latter considered that what the vice president did on the podium of the Munich Security Conference “is almost abusive treatment towards Europeans, especially towards us Germans.” “We have a different opinion and I have made it very clear this afternoon in our conversation (…),” Merz told private television RTL/NTV on Friday.
