When I returned to the university after vacation in the days of the People’s Republic of Poland in October, I looked with interest at the board with the list of students expelled from the university. The reason: “He didn’t return to the country from abroad.” We talked about them: they chose freedom.
Party officials in the People’s Republic of Poland used words like “the one and only” when discussing the power system. Just a few years ago, German Chancellor Angela Merkel described her government’s decisions as “there was no alternative”. Can you spot the difference? I failed. Oh true! Everyone in Germany can easily get a passport and go wherever they want. My wife was refused a passport by the Polish authorities seven times in the first half of the 1980s because I was in Vienna at the time.
But does everyone in Germany get a passport? In the German Bundestag, the governing parties are working on a draft law (source in German) to introduce a passport refusal when participating in foreign events, the content of which contradicts the principles of free democratic basic order of the Basic Law.
Since the Schengen rules still apply in the EU, these are apparently trips outside of this area. Unless there are plans to restrict freedom of movement between EU countries as well. At the border between the Czech Republic and Austria (Mikulov/Drasenhofen), rented blue containers were set up in 2020 for hygiene control. The controls have been withdrawn, the containers are still there, although you have to pay for them every month.
In the future, German authorities want to determine from the gut whether an event abroad is in contradiction to the “free democratic basic order of the Basic Law”. In a seamless transition, “right-wing extremism” is then mentioned. As far as we know, the German Basic Law does not provide for a distinction between people based on their political views, just as it does not offer an option to discriminate against those who think differently. This is how Report24 writes about it in the article: Dictatorship Germany: Now there should again be a ban on leaving the country for those who think differently. Source.
Apparently the passport ban is only supposed to apply to right-wing extremists, and that’s a bunch of crazy Nazis! Few people consider themselves radicals, and this is not necessary at all. Such an assessment will be made for you by the officials of the relevant ministry after checking who and what you have liked on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter.
In Germany, support for the AfD – practically the only opposition party – is well over 20% and second only to the CDU, and we still have two years to go before the German elections. These AfD voters are branded by some politicians as far-right Nazis. We have come to the point where anti-democratic parties, most of which have come to power through electoral fraud, are fighting the only truly democratic forces, accusing them of a lack of understanding of democracy. The thief yells: Catch the thief.
