Hamburg / Madrid. Günter Grass has made until shortly before his death very worried about the future of humanity. “We are heading for the third great war,” the Nobel laureate said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “El País”, which was performed according to the sheet on March 21 in Lübeck and published for the first time on Tuesday. “There is war everywhere. We are in danger of making the same mistakes as before. Without realizing it, as if we were sleepwalkers, we can go to a new world war,” he warned.
In addition to the many political conflicts Grass complained in an interview as” the social misery all over the world “, and the problems of overpopulation and climate change,” the consequences are completely ignored. ” “There is a meeting after another, but the problem remains: Nothing is done.”, He said
Grass analyzed in the discussion of the current situation critical: “Today we have on the one hand, Ukraine, the situation is not getting any better. In Israel and Palestine, it is getting worse. In Iraq, we Americans have left a disaster. There are the atrocities of the Islamic State and the problem in Syria, which almost from the News has disappeared, even though people continue to kill each other out there. “
The Europeans called Grass on to understand the Russian President Vladimir Putin and not so much by the interests of the United States to be guided. After the collapse of the Soviet Union were “no serious attempts” have been made to establish a new security alliance with the involvement of Russia. That was a huge mistake. “The Ukraine is promised accession to the EU, and subsequently into NATO, since it is only logical that a country like Russia reacts nervously.”
In addition to the many political conflicts complained Grass in conversation as “the social misery all over the world”, and the problems of overpopulation, climate change and nuclear waste, “the consequences are completely ignored.” “There is a meeting after another, but the problem remains: Nothing is done,” he said. Capitalism destroys meanwhile itself. “All these irrational amounts of money flowing around the world, we have nothing more to do with the real economy.”
“Matzerath today would be a hacker”
In the 20th century had been “less pronounced Unreason”. His “The Tin Drum” figure Oskar Matzerath would be convinced of Grass of these days “another man” who would have to fight against “other resistance”. “Today he was a geek, a hacker or something like that.”
