Alexander Dobrindt – New federal government: survival in the creepy cabinet

What used to be simply a word for an intimate space in which objects and figures are exhibited that are supposed to cause creep and disgust (“creepy cabinet”), today also refers to the creatures of the dark side of the power that the new Federal Chancellor Friedrich “Mister Burns” has just installed as Federal Minister and Minister. Together they form something like the German one-euro shop version of the Trump administration.

The shrillest personnel among the ramified bad guys is the former transport minister Alexander Dobrindt, who had previously been blatantly wrong decisions and breakdowns (“car toll”), who is “sometimes regarded in the appearance” (“Tagesspiegel”). Merz has now used him as a “Minister of Deport” and, to put it bluntly, as a personalized police stick. A task in which Dobrindt visibly feels entirely in his element. His current hustle and bustle, which is designed to completely eliminate the meager remains of fundamental rights to asylum – which was assumed as a teaching from the Schoa to the German Basic Law as a teaching from the Schoa – wants to understand the new interior minister as “signal that politics has changed in Germany”.

In any case, it is certain that the old German term »scary cabinet« has recently received unexpected topicality.

If such pithy sentences from the mouth of an almost no-contained CSU hardliner, who has just become head of the German police, can be assumed that they should mean something. The fact that the man has no shyness to announce that his fundamental right and its border police reinforcement on the 80th anniversary of the end of German fascism should not only be a delicate indication of how past and historical -conscious Mr. Dobrindt is. Anyone who has shamelessness to demonstrate in Germany a day before May 8 that he considers those seeking protection to be annoying human material, also gives a finger in which direction German politics will march as a whole in the future. A memory of the Nazi past or the twelve bird shooting years in German history is no longer necessary nowadays, which is usually only ritually and with a recognizable manner. Anyone who still does not listen to the boot on the German pavement at the moment should not be helped with the hearing care professional either.

In the future, according to the message, according to the justice ideas of most Germans (“” Taking up and tidying up “,” Short process! “,” Down! “). And to make this impression, Dobrindt lists his law-and-order-order, which is supposed to appear “cutting” and relentless and which is traditionally loved by those Germans. It is to be understood as a signal to the right-wing extremist AfD and its democracy-considering clientele: “We, the CDU/CSU”, should mean that “is now 100 percent willing to make AfD politics” (which in the end, as every five-year-old knows today, mainly to euphoria will lead to right-wing extremists and will lead to the next election even more Germans.

Alexander Dobrindt, who belongs to the radical Katholiban wing of the extremely right-wing conservative CSU, is a man who has not raised any doubts about his political preferences in the past and who can not be able to get there quickly enough with the orbáization of Germany. He has always preferred the Bavarian model of democracy, as was once outlined by the writer and cabaret artist Gerhard Polt: “I need no opposition because I am already a democrat.”

The good column

Thomas Blum In principle, it does not agree with the prevailing so -called reality. For the time being, he will not be able to change them, but he can use them to exhort them or, if necessary, also cover one. So that the bad withdraws. We are solidarity with his fight against reality. Therefore, “the good column” appears at this point on Mondays. Only the best quality for the best readers!

He denounces climate protectors as a “criminal association”, and he would like to have the moderate social democratic left -wing party forbidden, while in the same breath, he freely communicated in the same breath, as he intends to proceed with the right -wing extremists and neo -fascists in parliament: “You do not have to borrow the AfD away.” The new interior minister has already stated: “There are no general consequences for civil servants who AfD. “AfD officials and members who work in the civil service do not have to” count on the consequences under office law “(” Die Zeit “), which means, for example, that history relativizers and Holocaust traversers, some of whom are allowed to frolks in the AfD, as a teacher in the future as a teacher.

As dark in Dobrindt’s beet, it was known seven years ago when he informed the “Die Welt”, who was also extremely right -wing jumping leaf without need, that he wanted a “conservative revolution of the citizens”. You do not know whether Dobrindt did not know at the time “that the” conservative revolution “is generally understood to understand a current of right -wing extremist keywords and pioneers of National Socialism, whether he doesn’t care or that he chose the term” (“Jungle World”). However, whether his statement was due to poor education or indifference or whether it was an undisguised commitment to those anti -democratic currents that prepared German fascism is not so important. All three things will probably have played a role.

In any case, I am not sure whether federal governments should not be avoided in a better future to teach people to fear. In any case, it is certain that the old German term »scary cabinet« has recently received unexpected topicality. Dobrindt is likely to be the main attraction for the time being.
