<-- back If Germany was governed by capitalist rationality, then one glance at the projected population pyramid -- not a pyramid, but an urn (1) -- would be sufficient to make the case for an increase in immigration as an immediate political priority. And if the German government was held to the standards of international law, it would be evident that it's the systematic denial of protection for political refugees which -- alone in 2015 in the Mediterranean Sea, a border in whose maintenance Germany is heavily invested -- has cost thousands their lives (2), and that the long-term internment of immigrants in camps, as practiced in Germany today, is an obvious crime. But no such standards apply, and it's not rationality that governs. Germany's head of state is a pastor, nominated by Social Democrats and Greens, and this week, at the height of yet another wave of attacks against foreigners (3, 4), he declared: "There is a bright Germany that shines its light onto this dark Germany". But he's a liar, or thinks he presides over Germany in the role of a cleric, guided by superstition and wishful thinking rather than facts or empirical evidence. Since Germany's reunification, right-wing extremists have murdered hundreds of people -- 75 according to the Ministry of the Interior, 184 according to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, plus 849 potential cases listed by the Federal Criminal Police (5) -- while police repression has almost exclusively targeted their victims and opponents. This week's film program, as it chronicles the pogroms that preceded the dismantling of the constitutional right of asylum in 1993, serves as a reminder that German authorities don't just ignore fascist terror against minorities, but in fact tolerate and often actively support it. 1. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demografie_Deutschlands#Altersstruktur 2. http://www.unhcr.org/5592bd059.pdf 3. https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&gl=de&tbm=nws&q=fl%C3%BCchtlingsheim 4. http://perlen-aus-freital.tumblr.com 5. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todesopfer_rechtsextremer_Gewalt_in_Deutschland -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the truth lies in rostock siobhan cleary & mark saunders 1992 81 min das hoyerswerda-syndrom mogniss h. abdallah & jonas endrias 1996 50 min sunday august 30 9 pm prⅳate cinema berlin saal 2 kreuzberg u kottbusser tor 12 seats, rsvp first come first serve location in separate mail -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () >< prⅳate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back |
