German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/92, pp. 11110-11111.
Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.
The green Ampel coalition plans with this draft law a further attack on the state of law. Expropriations of businesses can now more arbitrarily proceed. The affected need no more be heard. The legal procedure is abbreviated. And even if the expropriation is categorized as illegal, it can nevertheless remain standing. That is unconstitutional.
Frau Dr. Nestle, it was just now odd how you have here let slip not a word on what is actually in the draft law. It is only about expropriation in this draft law. You have spoken not a word on the expropriation, but you have wrapped up all in a nebulous packaging.
Götz Frömming (AfD): Exactly!
That was a story hour rather than anything else.
We did not say that the electricity supply is no longer secured. The McKinsey report says it: By 2030, 30 gigawatts will be accordingly lacking.
Götz Frömming (AfD): Just a conspiracy theory!
Ingrid Nestle (Greens): Hadn’t I said it? Ever again, the same story!
Götz Frömming (AfD): You cannot laugh it away!
All of that is also in the report of the Federal Network Agency; it can be looked up there. We do not say it, but it is in black and white in the corresponding experts’ reports.
The reasoning for you wanting to expropriate is of course spun like propaganda. The supply security is further endangered.
Sebastian Roloff (SPD): Yet you always say that! You say that all the day!
In that regard, the Federal government itself has capped our secured energy supply; first coal and nuclear energy dismantled, then gas and oil imports throttled. Naturally is the supply security then endangered, yet not by business but by you of the Federal government.
The Ukraine war is used for propaganda. Putin is now guilty of our energy shortage and high prices. Yet once again: The Federal government has without necessity taken leave of coal electricity and nuclear energy and torpedoed gas and electricity imports. The Russians simply reacted after the Ampel announced it was no more willing to take gas.
One Russian business now experiences arbitrariness and the Federal Republic as a state of injustice.
Michael Kruse (FDP): Really honest people!
First it was placed under the trusteeship of the Federal government. Now in further steps it shall be expropriated, even though the business always delivered according to contract and has observed all contracts. The only fault: It is Russian.
Götz Frömming (AfD): State of law, quo vadis?
Frau Annalena Baerbock imagines herself at war. The Ampel coalition prevents a peace diplomacy. They use the Ukraine was for propaganda so as to more quickly drive forward the eco-socialist reconstruction of society.
Thomas Heilmann (CDU/CSU): Speak of Putin!
It will unfortunately not remain with this one expropriation. We know of may examples. In Venezuela, it began similarly as now with small things in Germany:
Markus Kurth (Greens): Exactly! First we expropriate, then we burn down everything!
Defamation of the opposition, ignition of inflation, occupation of the higher courts with party soldiers true to the line, political cleansing of the officialdom, expulsion of the well trained key players. We unfortunately see this now in all the small things and its beginning here in Germany – and to oppose that means to offer resistance.
The green Ampel coalition is a wrecking undertaking and manages a policy of state control. The instruments for that are the poisoning of the social climate, prohibitions, expropriations – as we have presented here – redistribution, misappropriation of tax money, destruction of the business fundamentals of firms, deconstruction of prosperity, damage to social accounts, expulsion of skilled labor from Germany. Ladies and gentlemen, these are unfortunately the sad facts.
Let us look at examples: Combustion engine autos as an affordable means of movement, as well as oil and gas heating, will be forbidden. That is a policy of prohibition.
Homeowners will be compelled to expensively renovate their houses. That is an expropriation. The failed energy transition costs one to two trillion euros – many say, six trillion euros. That is destruction of prosperity.
Vice-president Katrin Göring-Eckardt: Herr colleague.
The electricity supply is no longer secured; disconnections threaten. That is a scarcity economy.
Vice-president Katrin Göring-Eckardt: Your speaking time is at an end. You have likely already noticed.
Exactly. On that account, I come to a last sentence.
Vice-president Katrin Göring-Eckardt: A last of all sentence.
The coalition should re-name itself “plunder coalition”. That is the correct name.
