Germany: The goal is the green state


Written by Paul Rosen for Junge Freiheit.

The picture is a beacon. The heads of the traffic light coalition pose for the winning photo in front of an old hall in Berlin's Westhafen (West Harbor), in which an event center invites you to parties today. The Westhafen was a symbol of hard work, productivity and prosperity in the old Federal Republic. The SPD, Greens and FDP want to “dare more progress” for four years on their decaying remains.

In fact, there will be no progress with the traffic light, but the dismantling of the old Federal Republic, which was carried out in 16 years by Merkel, will be completed. At the end of this process there will be the “green state”.

Bourgeois optimists still believe that the FDP will prevent the worst; Together with the SPD, the Greens are framed, and in addition, the CDU and CSU in the Federal Council could cut green excesses. That is naïve self-deception. The fact that there is nothing in the coalition agreement about speed limits or new taxes such as the red-green favorite project of the financial transaction tax does not change the green handwriting that runs through the entire document - from the first to the last page.

Who should keep the Greens in check?
The CDU / CSU will not prevent anything, but will accompany the process of greening with an approving nod. The first proof was the reaction to the ineffective Corona Infection Protection Act of the traffic light coalition, which Union Prime Ministers wanted to stop via the state chamber. But the bourgeois resistance had already collapsed before the meeting of the Federal Council began.

The future Chancellor Olaf Scholz is also not one who could keep the Greens in check. Has it already been forgotten that the SPD members did not want this man without charisma and with the well-known permanent grin as chairman, but decided in favor of the sour-headed duo Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans?

These two embody the soul of the Social Democrats, who have long since submitted to the green clocks, while Scholz, as a false advertising icon, is supposed to suggest to the remaining voters from the commonplace milieu that this party still has something to do with Gerhard Schröder and his agenda. But this SPD no longer exists. Their result achieved in the federal election does not come from persuasion or renewed strength, but is solely the result of the weakness of the Union parties, which must have confused their candidate for Chancellor with a proclamation of the Carnival Prince.

Lindner's dream will quickly mutate into a nightmare
And Lindner? The FDP leader is undeservedly on the liberal podium with an election result of 11.5 percent. In truth, the beautiful appearance of the FDP attracted many voters who were on the run from the withering CDU / CSU, but who will soon experience that the blue-yellow splendor is nothing more than a blossom in the green swamp.

As finance minister, Christian Lindner will have an experience that Theo Waigel, Hans Eichel and Wolfgang Schäuble have already had: the coalition appoints and the finance minister has to see how he can find the money. Since tax increases are ruled out, Lindner is already in the debt trap and is surrounded by ghosts of deficit that play trivializing titles such as “special assets”.

Lindner's dream of the Treasury will quickly mutate into a nightmare. Lindner's nightmare images include the booming inflation, the euro currency, which is becoming ever softer and therefore ruining prosperity, and the cost of the corona epidemic, which is beyond the limits.

The actually strong man of the alliance is Robert Habeck, praised by the media as a "nature-loving writer", so to speak the Heinrich Böll of the green modern age. In reality, Habeck is the ice-cold director of decarbonization. His new climate protection power apparatus, assembled from parts of the Environment and Economics Ministry, will scare the companies that have remained in the Federal Republic.

Deindustrialization is a reality
Gone are the days when the Ministry of Economics, which was somehow still rooted in the Lambsdorff era, could at least slow down the Ministry of Environment's red-green industrial demolition excavator. Now the industrial departments of the Ministry of Economic Affairs are falling victim to a green takeover of the government apparatus, once known as the “March through the Institutions”.

A look at the coalition agreement shows that the term industry appears almost exclusively in connection with climate protection and decarbonisation. The most important branch of industry in particular, automobile construction, will experience that it is as undesirable as the nuclear industry was once upon a time. What the green grandpas once started in Wackersdorf is being continued by the Baerbock / Habeck grandchildren in Wolfsburg at VW and others. Deindustrialization has been a reality since Merkel. Now the process is getting a boost.

Germany will become a country in which the chimneys of industry are blown up and in which rushing wind turbines rise twice as high into the sky. The call of the muezzins will be heard in the cities, as the doors and gates will be opened for immigration. A distinction is no longer made between asylum and immigration, as can be seen on page 138 of the coalition agreement, where only “people who come to Germany” are mentioned.

The actual opposition mandate falls to the AfD
The CDU / CSU parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus is right when he says that the coalition agreement “will be a pull factor for very, very much illegal migration”. But where was Brinkhaus in 2015 when his Chancellor kept the borders open, allowed millions into the country and uttered the ominous sentence “We can do it”? CDU / CSU opposition means having to oppose one's own politics. This can not go well.

The actual opposition mandate falls to the AfD, which is, however, weakened and parliamentarily isolated. The left falls out as the opposition; it has degenerated into the appendix of the traffic light.
Exotic-looking cabinet figures like the green hemp farmer Cem Özdemir and Annalena Baerbock, the woman with the diverse résumés, determine the picture. Not enough attention is paid to the possible Interior Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD).

Lambrecht overshadows even the greatest green immigration ideologues. As Minister of Justice, she wanted to convert laws to gender-neutral language. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) prevented this in his function as constitution minister. In his place, Lambrecht could soon set the tone for the green state.
