Corinna Miazga is a member of the German parliament for the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). In the following video Ms. Miazga discusses the UN migration compact — what it will mean for the national sovereignty of Germany and the rest of Europe.

Unfortunately for Germany, the Bundestag just voted in favor of the migration pact, and Chancellor Merkel will sign it next month in Marrakesh.

The presentation has been broken up into two parts. Many thanks to MissPiggy for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling.

00:00 The Migration Pact calls on the media to report on the benefits of immigration

00:06 in terms of “enriching society”. The BILD

00:13 newspaper, for its own interests, wanted to know what this meant, and asked the following question:

00:20 Will the press and other media be censored in their reporting

00:25 because of the Global Pact? According to information, the BILD

00:30 newspaper received the following answer from the Foreign Minister:

00:37 The Global Pact does not change the legal situation in Germany.

00:40 Article 5 of the German constitution guarantees the freedom of

00:43 press and freedom of expression. It states: Censorship is banned.

00:47 The constitutional law is valid unconditionally.

00:50 Super! What a relief; but Mr. Maas, please explain

00:54 the following passage from the Global Migration Pact:

00:59 It states… that public funding or material support of media

01:05 that are systematically intolerant, xenophobic, racist or practice other

01:12 forms of discrimination against migrants will be discontinued.

01:17 I would really be interested in the answer from Mr. Maas and I am

01:22 especially interested in who will decide what is “intolerant, racist and xenophobic”.

01:26 I sure hope it’s not Mrs. Kahane, who belongs to

01:30 a certain foundation which we have learned to appreciate so much these days,

01:34 especially during the federal election campaign.

01:38 It remains to be said, in my estimation, for the time being any journalists

01:42 who dare to hold a critical position on the issue

01:46 of migration should seek new employment in the future other than journalism.

01:52 (Nations Against The Global Compact for Migration)

01:58 The points that I have presented to you are the real reasons why the

02:02 Council of Ministers did not sign the pact

02:05 at the European level. Fortunately, we are also hearing similar criticism

02:10 from abroad and from our European neighbors.

02:16 These include the U.S.A., Australia, Japan, and Israel. Among our European

02:23 neighbors we have, of course, Hungary, Croatia,

02:30 the Czech Republic and Austria. We are expecting similar reactions from

02:35 Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, and also Denmark

02:41 which has recently been very critical on the issues of asylum and refugees.

02:45 Switzerland will certainly not participate in this

02:48 agreement and will dig in its heels. And the AfD is the only

02:53 party in Germany that doesn’t want this, and

02:58 has positioned itself accordingly. Just the fact that Saudi Arabia

03:02 wants to sign this agreement makes it a farce.

03:06 Especially if you consider their record when it comes to human rights.

03:10 We should just take this with a bit of humor.

03:13 Maybe Saudi Arabia just thinks, “We’ll just sign the thing; in the end

03:17 no one actually wants to come to us, anyway.”

03:21 Let’s sum up the facts about the migration pact. One of the most important points

03:26 is that the planning for the migration package

03:32 has been pushed forward for years. Without public awareness,

03:36 and avoiding any form of debate, it has been incrementally

03:40 implemented by organizations that have no democratic legitimacy.

03:45 For example the United Nations, also know as the U.N.,

03:51 is a non-governmental organization. Abbreviated — NGO. The U.N.

03:55 introduced the New York Declaration back in 2016,

04:02 and before that Agenda 2030 in 2015. In addition to that,

04:07 the EU published a very interesting study back in 2010 called

04:13 “Study on the Feasibility of Establishing a Mechanism for the Relocation

04:17 of Beneficiaries of International Protection.”

04:22 This study found that in the already densely populated nation

04:26 of Germany with around 80 million people,

04:31 it still had enough room for 200 MILLION more people. We just need to squoosh together a little.

04:40 The poor French, since they have more space, will have to

04:44 cram in even more. And for every single member state,

04:47 it has already been calculated how much space is available in order to

04:50 squeeze as many “new citizens” in as possible.

04:53 It is important to note that the AfD was the only party that took the initiative

04:57 to bring this migration pact to the awareness of the public.

05:01 This was done in the interest of German citizens as well as to defend

05:05 the German Parliament, which should be the only

05:09 authoritative institution of this nation. Initially we demanded

05:14 an immediate parliamentary debate on the subject in April 2018.

05:19 Then on November 8 we introduced a motion on the subject,

05:25 which was a motion to reject the Migration Pact.

05:32 Are you aware of the reception we received? Let’s have a look. The reactions

05:37 were once again unintentionally amusing.

05:43 A member of the SPD, a woman, her name is Claudia Moll, and she expressed herself as follows:

05:50 I did not attend an academy. My academy was life. —Yes, that explains

05:54 a good deal. —I am beyond ashamed for you.

05:57 I am so absolutely ashamed of you. —Yes, well, I am of you, too!

06:01 This is being broadcast on German television.

06:04 Doesn’t Ms. Moll know that? But that wasn’t all; let’s watch a few more reactions,

06:07 this time from our friends in the Green Party.

06:10 Several petitions have been gauged as profoundly anti-Semitic.

06:14 These petitions need to be made public because they are

06:18 profoundly anti-Semitic, spread conspiracy theories, anti-Semitic…

06:21 I would like to make you aware the nation of Israel

06:24 will not be signing the Global Migration Pact. — Neener-neener!

06:28 Is all I can say! —Whoever votes against this pact is acting

06:32 contrary to the national interests of Germany. Thank you very much.

06:36 Do you know who that was? No, it wasn’t the quota

06:39 token man for the green party, but this is actually a lawyer

06:44 for the Union (CDU). His name is Stephan Harbort, and

06:49 if media reports are correct, he is to be the appointed successor of Mr. Vosskuhle

06:54 on the Federal Constitutional Court in 2020.

06:59 That should be fun! But joking aside — when you place an ideologue

07:03 as judge on the Federal Constitutional Court,

07:07 then you shouldn’t be surprised when ideological rulings are the only result.

07:13 So back to our motion. Of course, it was returned to the committee,

07:17 and that’s where the decision will be probably made after

07:22 the agreement has already been signed in Marrakesh by Ms. Merkel.

07:27 So that’s how it is in politics. It is a bit like soccer, there’s still

07:32 a chance to save the game in the prolongation; instead of just showing their colors and saying

07:36 they agree with the motion by the AfD to reject the Migration Pact. However,

07:41 we all know that would have potentially torn the CDU and the CSU apart.

07:46 And as a thank-you for informing the citizens, the public, and the media

07:50 about this disastrous project, which was shrouded in

07:54 secrecy, and the entire process hidden — we now are being accused by

07:58 ministries and the federal government of creating

08:03 a disinformation campaign. And according to Ms. Merkel, for this

08:09 we should be sanctioned. —We also want to create guidelines

08:16 for dealing with parties that are actively involved in disseminating information

08:20 through their campaigns, and that ultimately means

08:24 considering financial sanctions in such cases as well.

08:28 And there you have it, the Chancellor is pretty much announcing

08:33 the introduction of her Ministry of Truth, and reveals their own desperation.

08:37 She knows for certain that it is only a matter of time

08:40 before all her plans blow up in her face, and then

08:44 she won’t just be leaving her seat as party chairman,

08:47 but the chancellery as well. Since we are on the topic of spreading false information

08:52 and fake news, we should maybe focus on another

08:58 protagonist. Not the colleagues from the AfD, but

09:02 the handsome Mr. Habeck from the Green Party. He recently said

09:05 there is no such thing as a German people/nation. —There is no German people/nation,

09:09 and therefore there can be no betrayal

09:12 of the German people/nation. There is no German people/nation. —We really

09:15 need to ask Mr. Habeck if he has ever had a look at the German constitution,

09:18 or at least had a look at the Reichstag building.

09:21 If he had, then he would know. It is obvious that

09:25 there is a German people and that all of the activities of the German parliament

09:29 and German government, especially the Chancellor,

09:33 work in the service of the German people. Maybe

09:37 the Constitutional Protection Agency should investigate Mr. Habeck

09:40 in the future, based on his statements, instead of the nonsense

09:44 being spread over social media about the AfD. It wouldn’t

09:49 hurt in general to have a word with the Green Party on the topic of

09:53 the German people, especially since they seemed to have lost

09:58 them and have trouble locating them. Then again,

10:01 it could just be that they are looking on the wrong continent.

10:04 Dear Green Party, the German people live in Europe

10:09 as part of the European people, and NOT in Africa.

10:14 Another important aspect is the issue of the binding nature

10:20 of the Global Migration Pact. In the document, it is repeatedly

10:26 underscored through the wording that “we commit ourselves”.

10:30 We really need to determine whether this international treaty involves

10:33 a so-called “Soft Law”, which can become binding. Besides, I must ask

10:39 every reasonable mentally healthy person, why is it

10:45 so important to go to Marrakesh to sign a contract or a piece of paper

10:50 that will never take effect in the end anyway?

10:56 When was the last time you signed a contract that you knew

11:01 wouldn’t be valid anyway? And by the way, when was the last

11:06 time the German government was really concerned about

11:10 the topic of the law, the or rule of law? What about the Dublin Regulation?

11:15 The Maastricht Criteria? These are being violated constantly,

11:18 every single day. Since when are you so concerned with the issue

11:21 of the rule of law and legal validity? That brings me back to the topic of censorship,

11:26 and specifically concerning the AfD petition against

11:32 the migration pact. The petition submitted by the AfD against

11:36 the migration pact was censored by the parliamentary administration,

11:40 because it was never made public. The office of the committee on Petitions

11:44 informed us that our position on this migration pact

11:47 a) favors migration to Western countries and

11:53 b) is capable of blurring their national identities and c) would create

11:59 a multicultural society that d) has never functioned anywhere in the world,

12:05 and we could thereby strain the intercultural dialogue.

12:12 Since we supposedly violated an internal directive,

12:16 the parliamentary administration claimed our petition was not

12:19 permitted to be published. To conclude, we should remember

12:23 what Milton Friedman said: One can either have a welfare state or

12:28 open borders, but certainly not both. In light of that, I must say

12:33 that citizens of this country and citizens of all the other countries

12:39 that sign onto this migration pact should be prepared to say goodbye

12:44 to their social welfare system, if they have one. Ultimately,

12:49 this migration pact will only lead to the borders of countries

12:54 being virtually eliminated. Another wise man named Peter Scholl-Latour

13:00 once said, “The solution must be to fight the causes of migration and not to

13:05 migrate poverty into the western world, because this

13:10 benefits no one.” And of course, like so many things in life,

13:16 this is a long-term project that does not happen overnight.

13:22

13:47 Last but not least, this pact lacks any democratic basis. If you, as a German citizen

13:52 who is sovereign, see and understand, as it is also

13:57 enshrined in the constitution, then you should be against this pact

14:02 and especially the manner in which is being introduced.

14:07 Unfortunately, I must also inform you that the establishment parties

14:12 all support this migration pact without exception.

14:17 Even the CDU. Whether under Mrs. Merkel, Mrs. Kramp-Karrenbauer, Mr. Spahn or Mr. Merz.

14:23 Mr. Merz, who incidentally has praised the Green Party recently

14:26 as being potential partners. Every one of them will forge ahead

14:29 with this migration pact. Only the AfD will defend against it,

14:33 and we ask you for your support in this struggle.
