Hans-Georg Maaßen, the controversial chief of the domestic intelligence service, is now “special agent” in the interior Ministry. The rescues, once the coalition. But the damage done is immense, says Jens Thurau.
Hans-Georg Maaßen
What exactly is it actually, when politicians of “face-saving solutions” talk? It may be that it is at least at the Moment, only the expression of how widely the Ruling will have far from a clear idea of what is and what is not? Let’s briefly assume that a “face saving solution” to something which is after a long dispute whatever anyone as a loser look. Is this really so?
The Odyssey of Hans-Georg Maaßen
What have we learned? Hans-Georg Maaßen, head of the constitutional protection, must give up his office, it was already clear. Because he was the Chancellor at the

Evaluation of foreign enemy has objected to more events in Chemnitz (newspaper interview). And of its competence hopelessly exceeded, what was the SPD. He will not be transported but to the Secretary of state in the Ministry of the interior (as in the first coalition concocted). Because that had to the surprise of the coalition, the tips of all of the indignant, SPD politician, as well as CDU representatives and lots of citizens. Because Maaßen would have in his new office strong, earn more money than in his old Position.
The Face: no more money, no Secretary of state
Now everything is different, the coalition has improved: Maaßen allowed to move into Ministry, as a “special adviser” to the side of his friend, the CSU interior Minister Horst Seehofer. But the more money he gets. This is, in essence, the “Face”. Seehofer has a bit right, the SPD, the Chancellor sends a prayer to heaven.
It goes over and over again: the asylum policy
Actually, it is the absurd dispute about Hans-Georg Maaßen a duration of conflict in the government’s asylum policy, an unsolved completely. Conservative forces, above all the CSU with interior Minister Seehofer, find, and have always been of the relatively refugee-friendly policies of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel is wrong. The more is not so friendly, but it’s all about right. Because out there in the land of the right wing lurks everywhere tables “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) and formulated their criticism of the Chancellor is even worse and has achieved success to success. Since it is to keep up.
A government in full swing, blocked by the asylum theme
And so it was that the coalition would be almost broken on the future use of the conductor. This government only. Your inner conflict is huge, the nerves are strained to the Utmost. At the same time, she works on high speed. The Situation improved in the nursery, introduces a new Family home loans, has finally recognized that Germany has a deficit in terms of affordable housing, creates new care, even if not enough. But what’s with all the diligence of no use, if it can come at any time in the case of asylum policy, the question of immigration and the shift to the right in society to the open fracture, from nichtigstem occasion? And everyone is just so hand-to-hand crisis, the alienation is even greater. And the people turned away horrified. It can only be better.
