Welcome to HARDtalk. I am Stephen Sakur. The far right is on the rice | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
in Germany -- rise in goichl. Opinion polls and recent regional | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
elections suggest the AfD, Alternative For Germany, is winning | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
significant support with its anti-immigration populist message. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
The country's mainstream politicians have responded by branding the party | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
xenophobic and dangerous. My guest is AfD deputy leader and member of | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
the European Parliament, Beatrix von Storch. Could the AfD shatter | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Germany's postwar political consensus? | :00:48. | :01:16. | |
Beatrix von Storch in Brussels, welcome to HARDtalk. Hello. Your | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
party has done remarkably well in recent regional elections, | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
especially considering you really only are three years old. But you | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
are in the end a party of protest, are you not? And when anger and | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
frustration dissipates in Germany, you are likely to disappear? This is | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
what all the major parties hope for. They hope that already for the last | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
three years, and we're... Ever since growing. So, I think this is | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
something which will not work out that way. We have just come out with | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
a whole programme, we just fixed our programme by the end of last month, | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
and we have got several issues which are not tackled by the other | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
parties. We are going for a direct democracy, we want to have | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
referendums in Germany as well, as the one you are facing in Great | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Britain. On the Brexit. We are tackling the issue of ever-clors | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
union, we want to have the European Union as it was created in the very | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
beginning, we don't want to have a European central state, where we are | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
going to - towards we want to have a euro as a state of sovereign | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
democracies, we are trying to focus again on what is very important for | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
the society, we want to do policy for families, with a father and a | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
mother and a kid, which has been forgotten, especially by our | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Christian Democratic chancellor. We are going against the euro rescue | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
policy, because we see it does not work. We have made a point on | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
migration, because we said Germany and all of Europe is not able to | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
solve the problems of the world, the civil wars and the wars, and the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
poverty and all - all over the world by taking all the migrants to | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Europe. So, just to make that point, it's not protest. What we are doing, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
but we are coming up with those issues which are not tackled by the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
other parties, and so this is where we gain support, it's not by | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
protest, it is by our programme. Right. Well, you have come at -- | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
covered an awful lot of ground there, from institutional EU | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
policies to economic policies, social conservatism and family | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
policy, and, of course, immigration policy, which we are going to talk | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
about at some length. It seems to me when I talk about a party of | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
protest, what you try to do and have done for three years is latch on to | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the anger of the day in Germany. Now, three years ago when you were | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
formed the anger of the day was about the Greek bail-out crisis and | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
the fact that German taxpayers did not want to be involved in a | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
bail-out for southern European economic irresponsibility. That was | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
why your party came into being. And you seem to have shifted the ground. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
You're not really talking about that anymore, you're talking more about | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
issues like immigration. LAUGHTER | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
That's a funny question. You don't think so? You were talking about the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
anger of the day. We are talking about the problems, what people are | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
facing. People see the problem in Germany being first to rescue the | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
euro, which means rescue the euro area, but not the euro. Anyway | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
that's a different topic. But we are facing the problems people want us | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
to address. And what they miss by all the other parties. So, you can't | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
blame a party for picking up the problems which have not been picked | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
up by the other parties. This is what we do. But my point is you have | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
changed... One of your own founders says that the party - I'm quoting | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
him - has fallen irtreefably into the wrong hands. Yeah, because he | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
was very sad that it was no longer his hands. So, I don't blame him on | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
that. I do understand it on a personal point, but that's not the | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
point. The thing is that we are having different issues and in the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
beginning it was not only the euro, the euro was the reason why - to | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
forge - the moment why which formed the party, at that moment, because | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
there was no party to address the euro rescue policy in a different | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
way, but there are several other issues which are not being... Um, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
picked by the other parties. So, there were lots of issues, which | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
needed a new party, and we are facing them. I would put it to you | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
that to many Germans your particular focus on your anti-immigration | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
policy looks extraordinarily cynical. You know, you saw the | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
difficulties the country was facing with a mall migrants coming into | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Germany last year, and you suddenly ramped up the rhetoric against both | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
immigration, but particularly against Muslim immigrants, and | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
that's what your party is running with today. Well, you see, I'm... | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
Why is not Great Britain taking one point -- 1.5 million Muslim migrants | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
from northern Africa, for example? Why not? Go ahead, do so. But | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Germany discovered that we are not able to take everyone, and the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
German society does not want to - we want to help, we are willing to | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
help, we are willing to pay, but what we... The point we make is to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
say we can't have everyone on the - on our territory. That's - this is | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
not possible. And this is what we are making a point of e yes, that's | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
clear. All the rest of Europe, the polls, the French -- the Poles, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
French, Scandinavian countries, they are welcome to take all the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
migrants, what we... Our chancellor, I must admit, invited to come to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Europe. But the German society does not want to solve the problem that | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
way. There are different ways fI may say so... We see the problems of the | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
people. There are different ways of having the debate, different tones | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
one can adopt. When on Facebook early in the year, you were asked on | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Facebook whether German border guards should use weapons against | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
illegal female migrants with children, you gave the clear answer, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
"Yes." I wonder whether you regret that now? Because that's gone down | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
in Germany as something which, I guess, will forever be associated | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
with you. No. Because I made it very clear that it was... It was | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
commented in the wrong way. I made very clear the point and I do | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
understand that you missed that one, because you're not following German | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
media, that I do not want to shoot at anybody. It has been others who | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
have said so, that they wanted to do so. I made the point very clear - we | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
don't want to shoot anybody. What we also say is that we now hand over | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
the border control to Turkey and the one who is shooting and killing | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
people at the border - that's Erdogan and Turk. After car | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
collation you said the use of firearms against children is not | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
permitted but women are a different matter. "The use of weapons against | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
them can be permitted within a narrow legal framework." Do you | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
stand by that? This is... I made it very clear that no-one wants to | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
shoot at anybody, and we can see that the border control, once a | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
country... Who wants to protect the border functions very well without | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
any weapons. We can see that in Scandinavia, we can see that in... | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
In - at the Balkan states, Austria, every country who wants to protect | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
their border can do that without the use of weapons. Every soldier at the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
border control is wearing weapons. This is the law. But they don't have | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
to use it. What we can see is that the - we can see that the border | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
control functions that way. The only guy in Europe who is using weapons, | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
and it's not only by shooting in the air, but shooting people to death, | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
this is Erdogan. Yes. Forgive me... Let me make that point clear - there | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
were no debate about the shooting that Erdogan started in the very | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
beginning, there was a huge silence, no-one made a comment on that. So, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
we should stick to those who are shooting and not to those saying, | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
"We don't want to shoot at anybody." Yes or no - do you regret the words | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
you used to talk about the possibility that German forces could | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
use weapons against women? Do you regret it? Yes or no? I'm... I made | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
that already very clear and said yes, I didn't want to say that we | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
want to shoot at anybody and I was... I was making a wrong quote | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
then, yes, this is what I said already. OK. But this is weeks or | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
months ago. OK. All right. Let's talk about what's happening now, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
because Angela Merkel, without making a big fanfare about it, has | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
shifted policy, you know, there are still temporary border checks, she's | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
also talking about a much more strict integration process for the | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
migrants who come to Germany, and are allowed to stay in Germany, they | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
have to full nil various obligations -- fulfil various obligation, the | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
number of years they have to spend before they get residency has been | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
extended. It seems as though the German people support this, the | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
latest polling I have seen suggests that, you know, a clear majority are | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
in favour of the stance right now - this changed stance - that Mrs | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Merkel has made. So, maybe this issue for you has gone as far as it | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
can? Maybe, you know, your anti-immigrant stance isn't going to | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
get much more traction. You know, we don't... We don't make politics | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
because we want to attract in some stupid way, we want to find | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
solutions for problems, what we are facing, and the problem we are | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
facing is that we had 1.2 million officially registered migrants last | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
year, something like 3, 4, 5, maybe 600,000 not registered, so we don't | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
even know the concrete numbers from last year. We are having something | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
like 200,000-plus this year already. So we don't even know about the | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
concrete numbers, and our point was to say, "We can't take them all." | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
And now, as the society understands that, the chancellor is changing her | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
politics, but what she's doing is handing over the border control to | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Turkey and always - you know, explaining that we need European | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
solidarity and all the European countries now have to take some | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
quota, some part of the migrants coming to us. You may have your... | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
And all the other countries are yet to do so. You may have your | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
criticisms of Turkey and Mr Erdogan but the fact is since that "one for | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
one" deal was struck between the EU and Turkey, the number of migrants | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
coming into Germany has dwindled. I mean, you have very few coming into | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Germany today, so in that sense the policy is working. There is another | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
point too - you talk about the challenge for Germany and you | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
suggest, you know, the million and more that came last year are an | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
impossible challenge for Germany. Let me put this to you - the EU | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Commission's latest figures show your population in your country is | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
shrinking from 81 million in 2013 to just over 70 million in 2016. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Goodness me, you need some people from somewhere. Yes. We need people | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
who participate in our labour force and pay into our social systems. We | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
do not need by majority people who we have to pay for in the long run. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
What Germany - the population in Germany thinks at least is that | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
those people who are coming at the moment will overaall not pay into | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
social systems, but will be paid out of our social system. They are | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
increasing the problem and they are not... Not according, if I may say | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
so, not according to your country's leading economist. The German | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
institute for Economic Research the President says, "The refugees will | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
certainly make an important contribution to the needs that | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Germany will have in terms of its labour market." Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
says that, bit's not... It doesn't mean that it is true. All those | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
experts have said Greece will be rescued, already in 2010, after the | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
first rescue package, all those experts then said, "We wouldn't need | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
a second reserve accuse package for Greeces", and then the same experts | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
said we wouldn't need a third rescue package, and now they are coming up | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
and saying the fourth rescue package will be enough. So, don't - all | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
those experts are not so much experts, so if they say something is | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
that way, maybe it's the other way around. Another question you just | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
kamg up with, saying that the numbers of migrants coming to Europe | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
is going down, yes, but this is nothing to do with the policy of our | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
chancellor, it has to do with the policy of our neighbours, closing | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
down their borders. It seems to me, as the numbers have gone down, and | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
neither of suss disagreeing that the numbers have most definitely gone | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
down, you, again, in your party seem to have shifted the nature of the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
argument, because in your recent May - I believe it was about a month | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
ago, your conference in Stuttgart, much of the discussion wasn't so | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
much about immigration numbers, it was about the very specific point | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
that the most of the people coming into Germany are Muslim and you | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
actually came out with a new platform statement for the party | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
which basically baldly says, "Islam does not belong." , to Germany. What | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
does that It means that Islam is not part of | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
the German history and not part of the German cultural history, it does | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
not mean... And we made that point very clear, that the people living | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
as Muslims in Germany don't belong to Germany. Visits to different | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
things. Hang on, if I may, what about the 3.5 million people in | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Germany of Turkish origins who were brought to your country since the | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
late 50s and early 60s to make your economy stronger? -- this is two. | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
They helped build today's Germany, they have grandchildren and children | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
who are German citizens and you say they don't belong to Germany? I just | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
said the contrary, I just said they do belong to Germany. This is the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
point I just made a few seconds ago. They are Muslims, just as the | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
people who are coming to Germany today are. Maybe I can make one | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
sentence altogether because it's important. We differentiate between | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
Islam as a political Islam in most interpretations and Muslims. And the | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
ones who are living their faith and practising their beliefs, this is | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
religious freedom, this is one thing, this has nothing to do with | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
political Islam in its most interpretations. Political Islamism | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
always claiming political power and political influence of our system, | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
of our law system. If that's the case, if you draw the distinction | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
clearly between what you call political Islam and religious Islam, | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
why do you support the banning of minarets in Germany, the ending of | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
the call to prayer, and say that women can't weigh the fullface veil | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
-- were. Those are different displays of the Muslim legend for | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
many Muslims. This is what we say... This is a political | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
statement, this is claiming political power. What? A minaret on | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
a mosque is a statement of political power crazy one of your colleagues | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
has said Islam is a foreign body and Islamisation of Germany is a real | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
danger. The minaret represents all of that, does it? We've got lots of | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
mosques without a minaret. That functions very well, nobody has ever | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
doubted a mosque without a minaret is a mosque where you can live your | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
belief, your Muslim belief, and you can pray and talk to your God. This | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
is something that functions very well without Muslim minarets. We | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
never had the debate whether a mosque without a minaret isn't a | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
mosque where you can pray, this is what we say, you can have mosques | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
but we don't want the minarets. This is backed by something like 35% of | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
German people. One has not to agree with this but we are expressing the | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
views of people who see it that way. You say you don't have to agree | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
with it but I wonder if you worry about some of the people who | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
profoundly disagree with your policies on Islam and things like | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
minarets. For example, the President of Germany's central council of Jews | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
says with their manifesto today the AfD has departed from the | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
foundations of our very constitution, they threatened to | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
split our society and thwart peaceful coexistence. One of the | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
most senior Jewish voices in your country. The majority of our people | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
for example support the idea, something like 61% or 62% is the | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
last number support the phrase Islam does not belong to Germany, which | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
does not mean Muslim people do not belong to Germany. What we don't | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
like is the impact of political Islam onto our public life. This is | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
what we don't want to have. We don't accept that for example Sharia is | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
that we should accept. This is practice in various constituencies. | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
This is what we don't want to have, we don't want the influence of | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
Islamic law in Germany, we've got a German law which has to be | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
accepted. These are the debates we're having. I don't think everyone | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
has to agree with our opinion and we don't want to be backed by 100% of | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the people. But it's correct... Ajax at that point that not everyone has | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
to agree but you don't want to be seen as an Afobe is an much less | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
racists, and there are elements it seems in your party that run the | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
risk of being seen that way by fellow Germans, for example one of | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
your regional party leaders told a newspaper the other day that Germans | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
wouldn't want one of your national football team players, Jerome | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
Boateng, to live next door as a neighbour and the only implication | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
was because he has a black Ghanaian father. What is going on in your | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
party? Let me make that point and thank you for asking the question. | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
As this has just been corrected by the author of this title himself, | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
they admitted that our vice chair has not said anything about Boateng, | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
he didn't even mention the name, he didn't even know Boateng. So they | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
had to admit that they built up a headline from nothing. This is again | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
something which is a bit difficult when you try to follow a public | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
conversation in another country where you don't speak the language. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
I'm not sure the newspaper's characterisation of the conversation | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
is quite as you put it, but even if we agree to disagree about that | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
case, what about the leader of the parliamentary faction of your party | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
in another region, and this is a direct quote, he drew a distinction | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
between the life-affirming African proliferation type of person and the | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
self-denying European type. He warned that African reproductive | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
behaviour wasn't going to change as long as Europe took in more African | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
immigrants. What do you think of that kind of language? This is | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
again... I apologise for saying again, but we had made a very clear | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
statement on that as the board of our party and we said we would | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
disagree and we do not accept this way of speaking. We made that point | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
clear. Is that gentleman still in your party? He is still in our party | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
and you can't... Why? Because you can't exclude someone by making such | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
a statement. You can't exclude someone for what appears to most | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Germans as overt racism, that's not grounds for kicking him out of the | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
party? We've made a statement on that and we made that clear and he | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
accepted it. Maybe the British system is a bit more radical and the | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
German one is a different one. We have made a statement on this | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
statement and this has again not been reported back to the UK, which | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
I understand, and that's the way public communication functions or | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
does not function. Far right parties doing well all over Europe, from the | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
National Front in France and two others in Hungary and Eastern | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Europe, but here use it in the European Parliament in Brussels... | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
The leaders of Europe have made it plainly clear that they will have | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
nothing to do with parties of the far right. The president of the | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said the other day that | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
there can be no debate for dialogue with the far right. You remain for | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
all of your limited success deeply politically isolated, do you not? | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
No, I think this was your introductory remark he made. We are | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
shifting the political system in Germany. Our great coalition has | :23:16. | :23:27. | |
today lost its majority. If it were to vote today the CDU and the Social | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Democrats together would not be able to build up a new government and | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
this is because we are now the third biggest party. We are in the polls | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
around 15% overall in Germany, so we're really changing the political | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
system. The CDU and the CSU decided they would have to come up with a | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
new programme for the next federal election next September and they | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
picked the major topics of the AFP programme, so they want to copy us | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
on our family policies and internal politics, on in a security and | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
police and migration. What we are doing is shifting the programme so | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
being isolated... I wouldn't call it, I would say we are changing | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
politics at the moment in Germany. No doubt we will be talking to the | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
other German parties about all that but Beatrix von Storch, thank you | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
very much for joining me on HARDtalk. | :24:21. | :24:22. |
