Your link to use from africa and the world join us on facebook at the w. Africa. Spoto rama you were the premier of the german state of touring and a member of the left party. I think you were from west germany and moved to what had been east germany in One Thousand Nine Hundred i think the far right populist if the party is on the rise this thoughts on the Opinion Polls put it in the lead in the eastern states. How do you feel about that. Stocks to put type of on the
i have my feelings are not the issue as if we see right wing populists on the rise across europe in the world and they just look at america unfortunately they have become a negative feature of contemporary political culture. I feel at home here and touring and living the life i want to live in the place i want to be its been in the old us germany i moved around a lot so and got to know the entire country and. When i came here i suddenly felt that i could put down roots. And so could lessons but im staying with the f. D. A. For a moment it is twice as much support in the eastern as in the western states why is that and this is. A question is not whether it has supporters but whether it generates votes as democrats we have to acknowledge that the dea has succeeded in
turning nonvoters and voters so i cannot then complain that they voted the wrong way. There are evidently people who feel ignored by the politicians and dont feel that politics has anything to offer them. Not to mention. There is the east west problem thats mention of people in eastern germany feel just a been treated poorly if theres an endless stream of good advice coming from the west with the reproach you are way too obedient to the east german state you know that germany. Unified shut up and adapt to our ways that wont work thats whats in it for you my one said the Old East Germany was a narrow minded racist country. Do you still think thats. Not. What i said i was that there were racist elements there as well and that xenophobia can flourish among homogenous populations but have no experience of different kinds
of people other cultures or religion thats not was mine i could put stuff i know that from my own hometown in Western Germany in the one Nine Hundred Sixty s. So i tell you its cayman open Ice Cream Parlor that was a culinary breakthrough in my small town we were crazy about Italian Ice Cream but nobody wanted to play with the italian kids they called our names are a member of well when does a fault. It is arrogant and presumptuous to dismiss everyone in the eastern germany as racist as i find that its also true that less than five percent of the population hardly not from germany. All the more incomprehensible and ive got to wonder no not at all if you go on the contrary in psychological terms it is much easier to be frightened of something or someone you do not actually know coming this minute. Or that and if you have worries me and you feel that things are not
going right and he does not you can spend your entire life working and still end up poor as a pensioner and then you can be susceptible to feelings of hatred Didnt Xenophobia House On Fifth and final cut the own fog in this outside Opinion Polls of pretty much much the Election Results for the a. F. P. And even serving in polls indicate it currently has more support than the left party. Or the State Premier what if you dont run into the you will shift. Their support and you can simply infer that ive done something wrong and it bears sole responsibility for their rights and i do. I mean it like that sorry i heard what you said and ill answer the way i want. You to bring that. So it is presumptuous and ill advised to always blame individuals and say they are responsible while ignoring all the things that are not going right to our country no one can die in for Three Million children live in poverty their reproduction of
poverty is preprogramed yet thats not a region thats living under such conditions that makes people susceptible to populism i think he said thats few people can work their entire lives and still end up with poor when theyre old and the government simply will not address the. Raising welfare by a five year olds does not solve any problems. He wants about you. If you dont anything for you saying that i am responsible and i got him talking just asking a lot of us when he went into a lot of this but i do bear responsibility for is policy at the state level and wouldnt turn in as the most successful of the new east german states and when i took office everybody said investment would go elsewhere companies would be camp thered be a mass unemployment but the opposite is the Case Employment is growing proper jobs where workers pay their contributions and we are tackling long term unemployment the one did mention it but many people feel that their personal situation still has
not improved and. If he is just one seats in the very in State Parliament has a maybe next day if he looks set to be an all sixteen State Parliaments what does this mean for germany or the patient on monday to thats the new normal in europe Populists Railing against islam you can find them in almost all the countries of europe and under your skin put a elections to the European Parliament are to be held in may the big question is will we surrender europe to those who aim to destroy your. Side he also may have a card is that that. Orses in america are saying that all europe wants to weaken the u. S. Economy. If we fail to join forces and shape europe together and if people like America Builders get to chart europes course you know things are going to get very dangerous for all of us and thats good fairly feelings i lived in safely to having a deep touring it has depended on the entire economic area and of our exports go to
other European Countries sixty of our companies are Global Market leaders that means we are doing extremely well in certain industries. That would be jeopardized if xenophobia and racism were to become a part of everyday life fairly for stanford a question for the ring and also has a huge demographic problem like an assertive a million or about to retire out of a population of a little over two million. But you have to call here by the have we cant entice people to settle here work here or not contribute to society here if we fail to make the state and appealing place to do business in the heart of europe then were going to have a long Term Economic problem doesnt lets talk a little about you know now that you are from the west and have lived for many years in the east perhaps have attributes of both worlds. Easterners and western us actually different for i would think this is aussies
a mess and one of its people yes they are they still are thinking i can really see it these are people are brought up differently in the two halves of the Country Commission of socialization will be with us for some time to come in because and i kissed well even just one example im a christian in east germany there was a secular coming of age ceremony and we thought it would just disappear while its still going strong as im turning in almost ninety percent of youngsters choose to do it i thought it was a kind of Ritual Predates east germany. I want to think that it actually has nothing to do with religion but of. Human voice my relatives from Western Germany are always astonished when they come to visit the best option but for me. The fagot s i and then theres a language and vocabulary different words for a plastic bag Drivers License vehicle inspection. You can tell pretty quickly from the way they speak from any emotional attachment. I have someone who grew up in
what was the Old West Germany or the old east german i wouldnt have even those that divide officially ended twenty eight years ago human voyage to athens one that also holds for young adults who have children of their own the differences in dirt about. One. But we also see this sort of thing and other parts of the world and yet time and as you think of the southern and northern states in the us their worlds apart. Thats not since the west didnt he said you were a christian which is rather unusual for someone in the left part. Of. This nominee and you have a Certain Affinity for the center right Christian Democrats. Might be drawn to the idea of a coalition of the left party and the see the. Dots that exist in it would be the first thats kind of quite its a one off system of cotton because its camp about anything in the state elections
on october twenty seventh next year i will be campaigning for the very same coalition we have now social democrats the left party and the green of the few thats the constellation i want to see in government again quince so thats on and on but i would like to point out that our political culture interring in as such that the Christian Democrats and the left talk to each other and address issues in a responsible collegial manner. But this isnt just living democracy. And does what he would like people elsewhere are very a for example to accept at the left. It does not mean the end of the world or the outbreak of World Com Innocently and that we have some good ideas to contribute. And dammit cynthia i would like to end our interview by asking you to complete three sentences so i can see tooling ins or social democrat left Green Coalition attorney and could be a model for the government at the National Level if and when i do i pod if the
three parties really hash out their differences in public debate him draw up a common agenda on the basis of those differences the kind i know no Inforced Toeing The Line and building on a plurality of ideas then such a coalition would be an enrichment for all of germany just one western and eastern germany will truly Grow Together if and when all convinced measures are adopted in the west that will benefit the people there better childcare better forms of social interaction more time spent learning together at School Better health care in rural areas with Outpatient Clinics like they have in the east and district nurses combined with the legacy of east germany is more than some Traffic Regulations and a childrens t. V. Show. The best of the best way to fight right wing populism is to the ever of a democrat to develop Democratic Politics in such a way that people can regain trust in the system. And rest assured that they wont
be left in the lurch if they are faced with problems and their job wont mean disaster im leaving it up go get off and. Cut us off again these are people who had that kind of trust in the future and west germany in the one Nine Hundred Sixty s.
