Chancellor Angela Merkel - communist

| No Comments

She needs to just go away - from a speech she gave at the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation in Berlin (Google translate):

The heart of democracy
At the event "Parliamentarism in the Tension of Globalization and National Sovereignty", international parliamentarians discussed ways of resolving populism and the 2019 European elections.

Merkel explained that Germany had given up part of its sovereign rights to the European Union. "But the states are the masters of the treaties". This requires always the backing and the decision of the national parliament. The heart of democracy is parliament, Merkel said, referring to an earlier quotation from Prof. Dr. med. Norbert Lammert.

Trust and the willingness to compromise are important keys in this national and international tense relationship. Especially in the discussions about the United Nations Migration Pact, it became clear that fundamental issues would be called into question. It questioned the democratic legitimacy of the institution and its conventions, even if they were decided a long time ago by the national parliaments. She criticized that "there are people who believed that they could determine when these agreements would become invalid because they represent the people". She denied this nationalism. "The people are the people who live permanently in one country and not a group that defines them as a people," emphasized the Chancellor.

In other words, we Elites do not want you Normals to have a representative form of government. These "parliaments" such as the EU in Brussels are filled with un-elected goobers who are completely out of touch with reality. A government Of the People, By the People and For the People is too messy and doesn't represent what we think is best for you Normals.

A bit more:

In all national states as well as at European level, populism was identified by the participants as one of the key challenges.

Of course it is a challange - if the people got what they wanted, the elites would be out of power and living on the streets if not worse - hanging from a lamp post. They have their power and they want to keep it.

Now if you will excuse me for a little bit, I need to wipe a small amount of vomit off my keyboard...
