Couldn’t Bayern’s opposition be taken into preventive detention? Of course only to prevent worse things from happening, for example committees of inquiry. Our author plays through this scenario.
Munich, November 25th. The Bavarian police took a total of 71 people into preventive custody during raids throughout the Free State on Friday. The Ministry of the Interior said the step was “necessary and appropriate” to prevent the commission of “a political immorality of considerable importance”. There were reliable indications that the suspects – including 38 members of the state parliament from Alliance 90/The Greens, 21 from the SPD and twelve from the FDP – had planned to set up two new committees of inquiry in the Bavarian state parliament, one for the future museum in Nuremberg and one for the second trunk line in Munich. According to the Ministry of the Interior, the proportionality of police custody will of course be re-examined after the Christmas holidays, following the statutory deadlines.
Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) wrote on Twitter: “God bless our esteemed civil servants, whose forward-looking and courageous intervention just averted further damage.” According to information from security circles, the commission of the crime was imminent. CSU parliamentary group leader Thomas Kreuzer was also relieved, who on Friday morning, together with his entire parliamentary group leader, had glued himself to Munich’s Maximiliansbrücke in front of the state parliament to block the establishment of the investigative committees. Söder praised Kreuzer and his protest group “Last Group” for their “exemplary commitment to civil society”. According to the Munich fire brigade, the detachment of the CSU MPs Alexander König and Tanja Schorer-Dremel from the road surface continued on Friday evening. As a result, MP Robert Brannekamper is still stuck to a firefighter, whom he wanted to thank for his service with a handshake.
Another commando of the “Last Faction” carried out an attack on the portrait of King Maximilian II in the stone hall of the state parliament on Friday. The commando member Helmut Radlmeier wrote the sentence “Out with Committee” with sweet mustard on the oil painting by the history painter Julius Zimmermann; According to the police report, MP Ute Eiling-Hütig held the ladder for him. After the protests became known, the leaders of the Greens, SPD and FDP parliamentary groups immediately demanded a tough reaction from the rule of law. “We have no understanding when human lives are endangered. We have no understanding when property is damaged,” write Ludwig Hartmann, Katharina Schulze (both Green), Florian von Brunn (SPD) and Martin Hagen (FDP) in their “published on Friday evening” Stadelheim Declaration”.
