Alexander Gauland: Against the Corona Dictatorship

Dr. Alexander Gauland's speech in the German Bundestag on 29 October 2020 is drawing international praise from across the political spectrum.

"Fear is a bad counselor. The bombardment with daily infection numbers is apparently intended to make people afraid, for most people see little of Covid-19 in their daily life. Pardon me, but we’re dealing here with a kind of war propaganda. And this is fitting, inasmuch as we’ve been governed recently by a kind of War Cabinet, the Corona Cabinet. It has instituted the greatest curtailments of constitutional freedoms in the history of this Republic, in the name of the health of its citizens."
...
"We demand, therefore, that the Parliament be fully re-established in its rights. Measures against the pandemic are to be decided here in this House, and nowhere else. A Corona-dictatorship of undetermined duration is fundamentally incompatible with our free and democratic order."
