News: Dresden, Bob Woodward, Donald Trump, parity, Mönchengladbach, Jens Spahn


Jihad in Dresden

Two weeks ago he was said to have attacked two men in downtown Dresden with a kitchen knife and one Man out Krefeld killed have: Abdullah Al HH, a 20 year old Syrians, who came to Germany in 2015 like hundreds of thousands of other Syrians. And who was arrested yesterday.

One may ask, however, why he was allowed to roam free at all. The Saxon security authorities had known Abdullah Al HH for some time as a violent extremist and was listed as an Islamist threat.

In 2018, among other things, he was there for instructions on how to inspect a serious act of violence endangering the state sentenced to more than two years in prison. In addition, the court considered it proven that the asylum seeker who had been rejected in Germany had recruited members for the “Islamic State” and propagated the “Holy War” on Facebook.

The murder of the 55-year-old victim from Krefeld is terrible. Especially in Dresden, the capital of the Pegida movement, he will also confirm many people in their belief that the liberal course of the federal government in the refugee autumn 2015 is the source of all evil in the country. That is and will be Kokolores.

The admission of many refugees in autumn 2015 was not a mistake. One mistake was how little resources, time and money were invested in integrating these people. And how lax the security authorities sometimes deal with threats like the 20-year-old Abdullah. Longer detention, stricter surveillance or the consistent deportation of the few criminals among the refugees would in any case be a blessing. Not only for German citizens. But also for all the upright seekers of protection.

“How can you not be concerned now?”

The journalist Bob Woodward, 77, has been one of the most important for decades Chronicler of the political enterprise in Washington. In the early 1970s he and his colleague Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate scandal at the Washington Post, which led to the overthrow of the then President Richard Nixon. His new book “Anger” about the presidency of Donald Trump has been making headlines for weeks because Woodward proves in it, among other things, that Trump was warned very early about the dangers of a corona pandemic, but did nothing to prepare the population for it.

My Washington colleague Roland Nelles talked to Woodward about Donald Trump and the upcoming US election spoken. Woodward says he’s worried about his country. “How can you not be concerned now?” The election threatens “an unprecedented degree of chaos and disorganization”.

Woodward met the President in the Oval Office for his book, and Trump sometimes called him surprisingly at home in the evenings. The Conclusion of the reporter legend About Trump: “He just doesn’t understand that it’s his responsibility to protect people. He doesn’t understand either that he has a responsibility to tell the truth. And he doesn’t understand his moral responsibility, the duties of a president conscientiously fulfill.”

Courts against women

Brandenburg and Thuringia hardly had the first Parity laws adopted in Germany, they were immediately called into question again. With constitutional complaints, the AfD and the NPD tried to overturn the equitable composition of parliaments by law.

The lawyers Jelena von Achenbach and Silke Laskowski want to prevent exactly that. One has been fighting for equality by law for years. For them, quoted list places are required by the gender equality paragraph in the constitution. The other is negotiating parity for the first time. She sees it this way: women have been disadvantaged in politics for years – and this disadvantage prevents them from participating in democracy. Therefore, this must be remedied without changing the constitution.

My colleague Milena Hassenkamp watched the two women fight. They have already lost in Thuringia. Will fall soon in Brandenburg the next judgment. Should it tip over there too, parity laws in Germany would be history for the time being.

The world famous one happened 49 years ago Rifle throw from Bökelberg. In the European Champions Cup, Borussia Mönchengladbach won against Inter Milan in the local Bökelbergstadion with a sensational 7-1. The game was later canceled because Italian striker Roberto Boninsegna was hit by a soda can from the spectator stands in the 28th minute, fell to the ground and let himself be carried off the pitch. Boninsegna is still under increased suspicion of acting. Gladbach was later eliminated from the competition against Inter.

49 years later, a small one followed last night Reparation. Borussia scored 2-2 in the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan with a courageous appearance in the Champions League. The fact that it was not enough to win this time was not due to a can, but to a stupid goal in the last minute of regular time.

Loser of the day …

…is the Decency. Just a few minutes after the Federal Ministry of Health had declared that Minister Jens Spahn had tested positive for Covid-19, numerous AfD representatives used the infection for their propaganda: The infection either shows that Spahn had not adhered to his own regulations. Or that wearing masks doesn’t do anything. Anyone who is so infected with the virus of lack of level can only wish them a speedy recovery. And we wish Jens Spahn a very quick recovery!
