Germany: FDP calls for willingness of the population to make sacrifices
Berlin - "We are experiencing a system conflict between dictatorships and the free democratic western world," said Strack-Zimmermann to the newspapers of the Funke media group (Tuesday editions). "It is up to us to withstand this onslaught. We must resolutely oppose Putin and the dictators of this world who hate and want to destroy our democratic life."
The FDP politician added: "This will also require personal sacrifices from all of us, but we shouldn't become weak despite everything." In view of the high energy prices, it is important "to relieve the people in Germany who can hardly cope with the rising energy prices," said Strack-Zimmermann. However, her "request" to the citizens is to assess the current situation "realistically".
"We all have only one life and each of us wants to make it as beautiful and pleasant as possible," said the FDP politician; "But it's not just about us, it's also about the future life of our children and grandchildren, who also have the right, like we have for decades, to live in a free and peaceful Germany."
