After the gossip about his marriage-off may have hoped Federal Justice Minister Heiko Maas (SPD), to be a bit spared in future of blunders. But instead pushed him Anne Will on Sunday full tilt in the next embarrassment. “Let’s welcome even once the spokesman for Mr Maas clapping always the loudest,” the presenter said smugly after was heard in the opening minutes of their mission in the utterances of the Minister of Justice always a particularly fervent claquer.
Maas is with this bad habit not alone, also Bavaria’s Finance Minister Markus Söder (CSU) had ever been his spokeswoman make Winter Günther Jauch and has been supported by Jauch unmasked. But if a drinsteckt ever been to such a course of public chatter, there is just nothing Cornier as another feed. Well, Heiko Maas -. Has happened
Foreign guests bring sharpness in debate
And after all, ran the further shipment so that the public, the anecdote is likely to be quickly forgotten. Because what’s under the research title “refugee crisis before the summit – Is Europe still be saved?” ran on the eve of the Brussels summit with Turkey, was an extremely brisk, partly sharp run talk show. Fuelled this was the fact that in addition to the German talk show regulars like Maas, Green Party leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt and Left Party leader Katja Kipping two guests from abroad were in the round.
Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz and Slovak MEP Richard Sulík dissected relish and wordy, where they keep the German refugee policy for attack. And because the point of view that is limited in most talk shows on Germany, thereby expanding to perspectives of two countries, they also brought more speed in the round. In the by-product meant that was also played keyed perk.
Austrian Foreign Minister betrays advance appointment
Especially ÖVP man short seems little to give it, with discretion not to jeopardize the pre-planned appointments for the summit. He openly spoke of an appointment that is already determined apparently. “If the papers for tomorrow you look at, does it say, the Balkan route is closed.” After repeated questioning by Anne Will Maas did not want to explicitly confirm the German side, but he said as indirect confirmation: “. The Balkan Route is indeed closed virtually”
this is so obviously be manifested a state, the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) had repeatedly criticized for the solutions based only of individual nation-state decisions, but on the other hand, Germany has used by the serious decline in the number of refugees. It will be interesting to see how Merkel will represent such a result if it because in fact should come as
For Austria again this was a success of its diplomacy. – finally, it was the government in Vienna, which had recently discussed such a solution over the protests of the EU without the participation of Greece on a Western Balkan Conference.
Göring-Eckardt reacts irritably short
Austrian Foreign Minister therefore gave fodder to the debate. And he said things that are more likely not to be heard in Germany by government officials. So he called the images of the Greek-Macedonian border while “terrible”, but held at the same time inevitable. “We should not make the mistake to think that it will go without these images.” And short evidently expects that it will be even worse – in Turkey it would be necessary to stop refugees with police.
Germany threw Shortly before to help with its refugee policies but only refugees who are accommodated by fitting expensive tractor through Europe – the poor, the sick and children would left out. Much strong stuff, at which the German talk visitors kept rather strives to be processed.
And Short apparently hit a nerve. Göring-Eckardt about felt by the young politicians too often interrupted and scolded irritably, “that you are so rude, I did not.” For the Green “Europe at the end” is when there is no solidarity solution. She wants the refugees in Europe are distributed.
Slovakian hardliners was once a refugee himself
But this is wishful thinking, not only showed the policy the majority of EU Member States in recent months. This was also at the Slovaks Sulík. Sulík, the age of twelve in 1980 with his family in Germany found themselves refuge, but returned to his home after the end of the Cold War, retired to the position when the Slovak population not refugees wished, the government could also leave nothing to the land ,
And the Slovak rode sharp attacks on Merkel. This was “duplicitous”, he criticized. On the one hand say the German chancellor, the borders can not be closed. On the other hand, they would pay the Turks that they do just that – close the borders. “If you say there must be a solution to be found, are the only beautiful words for ‘we close a border,’” Sulík said.
At the end Maas makes it a point
Perhaps he could make a few points in the debate , But ultimately the Slovak exposed as evil populist. When Goering-Eckardt asked him from what he wanted to protect the people because of the rejection of refugees, Sulík said, “I thought you celebrate the next time New Year’s Eve in Cologne, then you will not ask.”
About such sayings can only shake the head. Through its deep-seated views but you can worry also. Because of Slovakia also revealed a fundamentally different understanding of the European Union, as it exists for example in Germany or in Austria. The EU as a community of values he wants to know nothing – for him, Europe is just a “treaty community”.
Maas handed it sometime with this talk show guest. He find it “hypocritical” if Slovakia accepting all the advantages of the EU, but wegducke when it arrive in the refugee crisis, scolded the Federal Minister of Justice. Maas got this much applause – Sulíks joke, “that was her press secretary”, lay beside it. This applause was genuine.
