German MEP: EU is bureaucratic monster with communist traits
Interview of Dragana Trifkovic with German MP Ulrich Eme
- Mr. Eme, you are a member of the Bundestag of the opposition party Alternative for Germany. It is a party that in recent years has received increasing support from the electorate in Germany, which is dissatisfied with the policies of the ruling structures. What problems do German society face and what is it that makes them choose to give their trust to the opposition? What is it that you, as an opposition politician, hold the most against the authorities?
For years we have observed in Germany the abuse of rights by every government. These violations began with the rescue of Greece in 2010. years. The Lisbon treaty stipulates that the international community is not responsible for member states ' debts. Due to emergency loans to Greece, the Lisbon Treaty was terminated with the help of the German government. But that wasn't enough. Decision of 2015. in order to open the borders for refugees, Chancellor Angela Merkel violated the applicable regulations contained in the Schengen Agreement. With this decision, nearly 2 million migrants have flocked to Germany in search of the benefits of our social system. These were mostly not refugees, which the media tried to hide from the German population. This influx has been linked to a significant increase in crime. The mood of the population since 2015. the years changed and from acceptance to rejection of immigration. AfD is the only party that constantly points to the existence of problems and negative developments in German society since its founding in 2013. years. As of September 2017 I was part of the AfD group in the German Bundestag. Here, as an opposition, we can force the ruling parties to take our positions. We are aware that in the short term we will not get a majority for our own legislative changes, but that is why we can always and constantly point out what is wrong.
