So far was clearly occupied the concept of “K-question” in political Berlin. He said the chancellor candidate of the SPD or a line under the guesswork whether Angela Merkel once again takes up the election. Although as never arises for the CDU chairman currently the K-question in the years of her chancellorship, is but the discontent with her and their open-door policy, even in our own ranks as big as ever.
Since Friday, the K-question, however, has an entirely different meaning. The “K” stands for a word that mass deaths means war. After the mad events of Paris, it is on everybody’s lips. President Francois Hollande says so, the US President’s “is absolutely right about” and even German President Joachim Gauck judged the massacre as a “new kind of war”.
So France already is at war? Will Germany pull side by side with his battered neighboring country against the so-called Islamic State in the field? NATO will explain at the request of the government in Paris the Alliance case? And what will become of the region, when the death yearning from the IS are defeated militarily? These are the questions that move throughout Germany and the rest of the democratic world. And what wonders Günther Jauch? He chooses again the global approach: “The Terror of Paris – What is our answer”
This would have been absolutely fine, would not frank plasberg and Maybrit Illner the night before two interesting talk rounds delivered with similarly broad approach. Especially Illner the submission presented:. The former Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Harald Kujat, interpreted in their Merkel’s first short statement to the Paris massacre as a “declaration of war on the IS” with German participation
Jauch first question is the program does not do justice
As the viewer gets quite doubts about whether Jauch and his team follow the competition. Of course, the question closes after “our answer” military action with a what the mission luckily also revealed later. Nevertheless result was that the political show initially shredded and downright – sorry for the case that the sound cynical – a potpourri of all possible facets of terrorism was
A strength Jauch is definitely to bring prominent guests in its Gasometer, which are close to the action. Just think of the legendary performance of the Greek I-have-the-wisdom-disproportionately-with-spoon-gefuttert short-time politician Janis Varoufakis and his finger.
How did the presenter on Sunday evening Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen on board, ie, can provide information as to whether the Federal Republic goes to war. But what Jauch wants first to know of the Christian Democrat? Whether because was sure that the IS had committed the murders in Paris? This is not a completely superfluous question, but now truly not have why people turned on.
“fight against terrorism without mercy”
In a broadcast to such a dramatic event of foreseeable historical significance it must of course not going to polarization. And Jauch, you have to concede to him and recognize is well known, no one who rushes to the quota will his debaters each other. But just when the viewer to experience something new, which was not already read on 500,000 sites, clever question is extremely important.
Significantly got the shipment Drive, as the former ARD correspondent in Paris, Ulrich Wickert, took command. As a spectator, one is satisfied if Jauch the next question is not quite as awkward and strangely worded along the front.
more clearly answered Jauch guests. For example, the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, who warned insistently, politically exploit the refugee debate with the terror of the IS and “to make sacrifices perpetrators”. The people from Syria and Iraq “to flee from the same guys who organized the massacre in Paris”. The SPD politician pleaded for “the fight against terrorism without mercy.” The CSU he gave at the same time along the way? “. Profit beat out a tense situation, which is not politically fair”
Operates Söder the business of IS
Jauch then presented Wickert a question that included a daring hypothesis:. “The terrorists want so destabilizing for us because we have to say that – as seen – the Lord Söder the Business the IS operates, in which he makes the people so wuschig? ” Wickert: “Nah, I think that’s a bit exaggerated now.” The former ARD correspondent recalled that not a single refugee, but only French had committed Islamist terrorist attacks in their homeland.
After 39 minutes, Jauch finally came to K-question. And lo and behold, it was exciting. Von der Leyen is wanted the term “war” do not adopt, at least not viewed from Germany. Only when Wickert intervened, “that are in the war”, the Minister said: “From the French perspective, the concept is fully understandable that meets the nation so deeply into the heart of how we can only guess..” But it must be “the very formal side” are separated. How this would work under allies, remained open
As in almost every one of his broadcasts awoke Jauch -. Apparently captivated him as well the war issue – and dug deeper, however, Unfortunately Wickert and not at von der Leyen. He wondered if that was sufficient and does not need “the French have a very different dirty work”? The Federal Republic has a “parliamentary army”, in Paris decide the president, “I am sending my soldiers going on,” said the guest. The French know that “we are in a different historical situation”. The question remains whether Germany should therefore not just take action against mass murder and barbarism. Jauch they did not provide.
The half-hearted fight of the West against the IS
The journalist of the “German wave “Jaafar Abdul Karim, said, referring to the Arab world:” Some want only to live in peace “. But there is also a lack of understanding about the politics of the West and the feeling that they are not perceived. He meant in particular the contradictory attitude of the West to certain countries in the crisis region. In its incredibly friendly and free from accusations Art Karim recalled in this context the fact that Germany about Saudi Arabia still supplying weapons.
His German colleague Georg Mascolo referred to the anything but stringent handling of the West with countries in the region, including Turkey, which does not combat the IS up halfheartedly. Why could the IS daily occupy more than a million dollars from the sale of oil ?, asked Wickert. “Why is not prevented?”
explains Von der Leyen: “If we only talk about with whom we do not want to talk, we are in the region get no peace. ” She warned: “This is not a battle of the West alone, but especially the Arab-Muslim world.” The IS must be defeated militarily. But the decisive factor is the “political process of reconciliation”. And: “.. Because we need the help of the Syrian Muslim world I think if we stand together, we can defeat the IS”
Survivors of the attack exude courage
Jauch turned to Mascolo: “Are you so optimistic?” Mascolo: “I wish I could be there, Mrs von der Leyen.” The region experiencing just a “complete collapse of civilization order”. The West tried it with war in Libya and especially in Iraq. Later, “We have been watching the disintegration of Syria”. And so Mascolo made the dilemma of the West clearly: “Now we know that a military intervention often makes things any better that not to intervene the situation but does not do better.” Also Schulz gave the realists: “. A total protection (against terrorist attacks) does not exist”
At the very beginning came to live joyful optimists have their say: The Cologne couple Julia and Thomas Schmitz who survived the terrorist attack on the rock concert at the Paris Club Bataclan with luck, a lot of courage and intolerable after three hours of fear. Jauch wanted to know if their desire was gone on trips. Both declared immediately: No! “Of course not.” Mrs. Schmitz said That is indeed exactly what these terrorists wanted to take people with lust for life, the joy in it. “Because we are of course not buckle.”
It’ll take a while, “until we venture back to such a concert. But we will of course continue live our lives and have fun and go to concerts, no question. ” Thunderous applause for the realization: The Paris massacre was not the end – neither for the couple Schmitz nor for the rest of the world
