Gas Crisis Chaos: Minister Brands Unhappy Public ‘New Enemies of the State’ Amid Riot Warnings

Those taking the German government to task over the ongoing gas crisis have been branded the “new enemies of the state” by one government minister in the country.

An ostensibly “centrist” minister in Germany has branded those looking to hold officials accountable for their chronic mismanagement of the country as the “new enemies of the state”.

The minister — who is a member of former chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party — made the claim as authorities in the country begin to fear significant backlash for gas shortages in the winter, with one official saying that he is now expecting riots to occur if and when people are no longer able to heat their homes.

According to a report by broadcaster NTV, Herbert Reul, who serves as the Interior Minister for the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has now labelled members of the public challenging the extremely poor handling of Germany’s energy, cost of living, and COVID crises by the political class as “enemies of the state”

The shutting down of dissent against governments thru the government control of Big tech media platforms has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of the elites.

The elites are now oblivious of dissent and therefor able to make even more catastrophically stupid decisions without needing to justify their decisions. The result, inevitably, is for them to make decisions which will be literally fatal to the populace. People will die due to their decisions, and now they have the audacity to request that people pipe down and die quietly.

It’s obviously not just Germany.
It’s the prevailing and growing attitude in governments worldwide.

One official talks about “violent clashes on social networks.” How is any post on any social network “violent”?

The German elite have nothing to worry about. German men have been geldings since 1945.

I’ve been wondering when the PARTY ELITES will start to require a “PARTY SALUTE” and the HORST WESSEL SONG at all political functions!

Biden did that with his war on oil. Biden financed Putin’s War. Billions of poor people around the world can’t afford the oil price increase which affects food supply. Heck our farmers are suffering because of fuel prices and so are we.

There should be a body count caused by Biden/Obama/Democrat policies: energy, border, economic, crime and IRS.

I image there’s a general shortage of men in Germany period since 1945.
