Bürgerfest for German unity
Merkel calls on citizens to rise against the right wing
Dresden. While on 26th anniversary of German unification Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for opposing right-wing populists, the celebrations have started in Dresden with a street festival. Three quarters of a million visitors are expected by Monday. It has prompted the highest level of security for the police.
Given the increasing polarization of society, Federal President Stanislaw Tillich (CDU) urged further efforts to realize internal unity. That people lived in the East and West for over forty years in two different systems is now strongly felt as hasnt been during the period since 1990, said the Saxon Prime Minister to the German Press Agency.
We are celebrating something that is not self-evident in the story: A peaceful revolution that ended in the reunification of the nation, said Tillich. This is at the same time a reminder to continue to work on our internal unity.
Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert (FDP) stressed that his city with its historic center would not only provide a stage for a look at history. Also the present and future of our region become clear in these days, he said at the opening of the festival.
Merkel: All are the people
Meanwhile, at the 26th anniversary of German unification the Chancellor called for the defense of the central freedom of the East German civil rights movement against right-wing populists. One must intervene when people with a right-wing background proclaim We are the people [Wir sind das Volk], said Merkel on Saturday in a video message. This slogan was very liberating during the peaceful revolution in the GDR.

You can take a girl out of the STASI, but you cant take the STASI out of the girl.
And can take a boy out of the KGB, but you cant take the KGB out of the boy.
Problem is Germans like a battle to the end instead of a simple term limit that would be good against the arrogance of being in power too long.
1000+ Most elequently put!
Very applicable here in numerous ways...
RE: “What pray tell is classified as the right wing? The USSR was a dictatorship. Merkels East Germany was a dictatorship. Nazi Germany was a dictatorship. In all of them the power of the individual citizen was subservient to the power of the state. German people wanting to avoid losing their culture and their way of life does not constitute fascism. Having a leader like Merkel, who disregards the will and the safety of her own citizens is not representative government.”
That's her.
In Greece. Mykonos, to be exact.
Just before she became famous - she was still moderately well known, but a left-wing politician from the east - still not anybody.
So there you see her... fat, drunk, stupid and ugly - making a fool of herself by the pool in Mykonos while onlookers gasped in horror and laughed openly at the horrid fool.
The Greek government supposedly had a hand in releasing this video around the time of their bankruptcy - in anger at Merkel's very sensible refusal to give the profligate Greeks more money...
Probably the only sensible thing this fat cow ever did.
Putin will crush her like a bug.
Unsee!
Tillich is NOT the Federal President of Germany - he is Bundesratspräsident = President of the Federal Council.
The actual Bundespräsident (= Federal President) is still Joachim Gauch.

People in the East are Untermenschen according to Frau Merkel. Is she thinking of a Final Solution? She hasn’t learned much from her Fuhrer.
Chancellor Angela Merke is such a little NAZI - this time the target of hate is conservative Germans rather than Jews... a different choice of victim.
Merkel = DDR 2.0
No, Hillary said that.
There was a FR post 4 days ago, saying Trump calls Merkel his fav world leader. but looks like Jim removed it. (i just googled) Thats where i originally got that info from
so with that, your right, Hilary did say it.
Lame attempt to distract attention from her egregious failures on the immigration issue.
Kind of makes you want to puke, doesn't it?
Hillary Merkle wants to destroy the right wing in the USA.
Typical Leftist - always wanting to crush those who would save the citizens instead of those who would enslave them.
Angela would look good dangling from a lamp post.
She has just publicly announced she stands with Islam, amazing they haven’t stormed the gates and forced her out of office.
This is the globalist world view. If you do not obey their demands, cultural cleansing (social engineering and mind control) and their total rule, you are a “nationalist” hater terrorist and you are deplorable. They would murder you just as soon as look at you when they get enough power.
