Merkel's Mask of Biederkeit

Mrs. Merkel covers with her Biederkeit the extent of the diesel scandal. She is not ashamed to play coworkers in the car industry hostage against the profits of the shareholders. The conversion of diesel engines would cost according to experts 10 billions of euros. That would reduce the annual profit of the German auto industry by one third. The profits of the owners of the VW shares, the families Piech and Porsche, the owner of the Daimler share, would be lower. The ruling coalition does not want to allow that. At most, it leaves it up to the judiciary to wrest some of the profits back from the monopolies.

In this way, the political functionaries retain their prospects for well-paid supervisory board positions after leaving the civil service. Wissmann, former Minister of Transport, and now VDA (Association of the German Auto Industry) - Chairman will soon get a successor. Dobrindt is already warming up. Gerhard Schröder has brought about a very special cynicism: with a laughing face he announces: You can all ...

Unfortunately, Martin Schulz also told the story in the so-called duel that Schröder had kept Germany out of the Iraq war. A bold lie: the fall of Hussein, Busch and Blair wanted to attach themselves to the lapel. German soldiers were not in demand, only logistical support and that was granted in any way. The fact that Schulz is spreading this falsification of the facts shows that he is now also involved in the network of corruption. And Mrs. Merkel, the pastor's daughter, with her Biederkeit is the ideal figurehead for the entire political class. It is, so to speak, above the parties. All the more undisturbed Gabriel Panzer can deliver to Saudi Arabia and the Bavarian beer tent Ayatolla can spread his tirades against refugees.
