#Germany selects – The Interview with Christian Lindner
“I think the military mission in Afghanistan for us to permanently resumable”, said the FDP Chairman Christian Lindner in an interview with DW editor-in-chief Ines Pohl and presenter Jaafar Abdul-Karim. The top candidate for the Bundestag election on may 24. September explained his attitude in order that the objectives had not been achieved. “Maybe the goals are to make Afghanistan a Western-oriented, market-based democracy, were also cultural and man-made over-ambitious.” Lindner added: “In the time available.”
The international military Engagement under the leadership of the United States has lasted for 16 years. Until the beginning of this week, U.S. President Donald Trump forces has announced reinforcements for his country in Afghanistan. Now Lindner Deutsche Welle said: “I believe that the use of such weapons for the German armed forces is an opportune time.”
Christian Lindner said in a DW Interview, from the first Minute to plain text
Also in other issues, the 38-Year-old no sheet before the mouth. With views of the Turkey, he called for after the recent events in the economic cooperation, all the traffic lights would have to be put “on Red”. Specifically, Lindner proposes not to grant export guarantees more and lead to no discussions on the facilitation of the customs. “We, the Opposition in Turkey are guilty.” There were imprisoned after the abortive coup in July 2016, several thousand people, and the freedom of the press is severely limited. Recently, the Turkish-born writer Dogan Akhanli by a search Request, put the Turkey in Spain temporarily. The 60-Year-old is exclusively a German citizen and lives in Cologne.
Fierce criticism Lindner also practiced on the fugitive rate under Chancellor Angela Merkel. The asylum procedures take too long. To speed them up, before hovering him a legal status, the refugees to temporary grant temporary humanitarian protection. After establishing the identity of the people to get a residence permit first and have immediate access to the labour market. “But,” limits Lindner, “the residence permit is strictly limited in time.” If the old home was again pacified, “to leave the people of the rule”.
Lindner’s proposals for, in his view, a better refugee policy are part of his idea of a future immigration policy. Germany is a country of immigration, said the FDP leader in the DW-Interview. “But we have to define, what additions there are to Germany.” Lindner spoke of four doors. “The first door is called the asylum.” This is a fundamental individual right, for there is no limit and restriction. The meet for only for a very few people “who are really pursuing individually as a Person”.
Clear message, clear edge: “Four doors”, by the people to Germany can come – or not
Lindner’s second door bears the inscription “refugee”. Underneath, he understands people, which are not tracked individually, but the horrors of War and violence to escape. Whether there is a limit, wanted to DW editor-in-chief know Pohl in this context. Lindner’s answer: “Because there is a limit to the power of the capacity, as can be the people.” On a certain number of FDP’s top candidate for the election to the Bundestag did not want to set.
The third door in his image of a future immigration policy is provided with the label “skilled immigration”. Including Lindner understands the specific selection of people allowed to come to Germany. “We will decide who can come, depending on the language knowledge, skills, and so on and so forth.” The fourth and last door on the remains, according to Lindner closed. Who is not entitled to asylum, a refugee, or a qualified immigrant, “can not come to Germany, can’t stay here”.
Whether Lindner FDP can implement your ideas in a future Federal government, depends, of course, the result of the election and the subsequent coalition negotiations. Currently, the FDP comes in the current Germany trend to eight per cent – on a par with the Green party and the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The Left hand is at nine percent. The battle for third place in the German Bundestag is currently so extremely exciting. For an Alliance with the Union of CDU and CSU, it is not enough at the moment. Lindner has in the past few weeks, but already several times hinted, also a formative role in the Opposition to imagine. Preferably, of course, as the leader of the opposition.
Putin-Versteher Lindner? The FDP’s top candidate defended his Comments about the Crimea annexation
The currently extra-parliamentary FDP, according to the 24. should September return even equal to the government’s table, wants to Lindner revert to the “Tradition of the German policy of détente”. The rate fell in the DW-Interview, when it came to Lindner’s controversial Comments on the annexation of the Crimea by Russia. “I’m afraid that you have to look at the Crimea, first as a permanent provisional arrangement,” he had said to the “West German General newspaper”, and a lot of criticism in Germany, harvested and consent in Russia.
In the DW-Interview Lindner defended his advance. Although he stressed that the Crimean annexation was illegal under international law. He said that the German policy of détente’ve always associated two things: toughness and willingness to engage in dialogue. “We freeze the conflict, to accept without him, and we make Talk.”
At the end of the interview, it was funny, as Lindner should decide which of the leading candidates of the other parties, he would, if necessary, take to a desert island. The FDP-front man opted for the Greens, Cem Özdemir. The how to become he in the Aachen carnival, “knight against the animal Seriously.” Therefore, he knew that Özdemir had a sense of Humor. “And we could have at least something to laugh at – if perhaps only on top of each other…”
