Бірґіт Бессін: "ХДС (Християнсько-демократичний союз, Німеччина) може тільки програти"
Коментуючи останні заяви лідера ХДС Фрідріха Мерца, голова AfD-Бранденбург Біргіт Бессін заявила:"Я визнаю, що ситуація, безумовно, непроста для Фрідріха Мерца і його ХДС - але вона створювалася роками. На федеральному рівні вона навряд чи сприймається як опозиція, але як член картелю старих партій вона несе солідарну відповідальність за все ліво-зелене божевілля, яке так обтяжує громадян. Але це й не дивно, адже саме вона запустила механізм деіндустріалізації та масової міграції. А в Бранденбурзі, наприклад, вона бере активну участь у спробі придушення AfD як єдиної опозиції, що залишилася, через міністра внутрішніх справ від ХДС. ХДС може тільки програти.Його не врятує жоден маневр, яким би прозорим він не був, щодо можливої співпраці на муніципальному рівні, яку лише запропонували, а потім відкликали. ХДС Меркель принесла Німеччині неконтрольовану і часто нелегальну міграцію, яку посилили ліві та зелені. Світлофори переслідують людей через ціни на енергоносії, індивідуальний транспорт та опалення. Більше того, приймаючи одне нерозумне рішення за іншим, він робить життя в Німеччині майже недоступним. Замість того, щоб залучати кваліфікованих працівників, кваліфікованих працівників виганяють за кордон, а їхні квартири віддають нелегальним мігрантам. Жоден громадянин цього не розуміє!Це звучить банально, але це правда: Старі партії роблять громадян сумними, вони позбавляють людей мужності дивитися в обличчя життю і впевненості в завтрашньому дні. Для них самих і для їхніх дітей, яких, на жаль, лише одиниці все ще хочуть мати.
Биргит Бессин: "ХДС (Христианско-демократический союз Германии) может только проиграть"
Комментируя последние заявления лидера ХДС Фридриха Мерца, председатель AfD-Brandenburg Биргит Бессин сказала:"Я признаю, что ситуация для Фридриха Мерца и его ХДС, конечно, непростая - но она сама себя наносила в течение многих лет. На федеральном уровне его вряд ли можно воспринимать как оппозицию, но как член картеля старых партий он несет солидарную ответственность за все лево-зеленое безумие, которое так тяготит граждан. Но это и неудивительно, ведь она запустила колесо в сторону деиндустриализации и массовой миграции. А в Бранденбурге, например, он активно участвует в попытке подавления AfD как единственной оставшейся оппозиции через министра внутренних дел ХДС. ХДС может только проиграть.Ее не спасет никакой маневр, каким бы прозрачным он ни был, - возможное сотрудничество на муниципальном уровне, которое было только предложено, а затем отозвано. ХДС Меркель принесла Германии бесконтрольную и зачастую нелегальную миграцию, которую усугубляют "левые" и "зеленые". Меркель донимает людей ценами на энергоносители, индивидуальным транспортом и отоплением. Более того, принимая одно неразумное решение за другим, он делает жизнь в Германии практически недоступной. Вместо того чтобы привлекать квалифицированных рабочих, квалифицированных рабочих выгоняют за границу, а их квартиры бросают нелегальным мигрантам. Ни один гражданин этого не понимает!Звучит банально, но это правда: Старые партии наводят тоску на граждан, лишают их мужества смотреть в лицо жизни и уверенности в завтрашнем дне. За себя и за своих детей, которых, к сожалению, хотят иметь лишь единицы.
Birgit Bessin: "The CDU (Christian Democratic Union of Germany) can only lose"
Commenting on the recent statements by CDU leader Friedrich Merz, the chairperson of the AfD-Brandenburg, Birgit Bessin, said:"I admit that the situation is certainly not easy for Friedrich Merz and his CDU - but it has been self-inflicted for years. It is hardly perceived as an opposition at the federal level, but as a member of the cartel of the old parties, it is held jointly responsible for all the left-green insanity that so burdens the citizens. But that is no wonder, since it has set the wheels in motion towards deindustrialisation and mass migration. And in Brandenburg, for example, it is actively involved in the attempted suppression of the AfD as the only remaining opposition via the CDU Minister of the Interior. The CDU can only lose.
