A generationThe Minister of the Interior of the State of Hesse discussing how to deal with SEK officials of the Frankfurt police Peter Boss (CDU) defended his tough line on Thursday. In this interview, three officials anonymously accepted an interview with Hessischer Rundfunk. They have turned to public broadcasters to show their version there, just like in other media. In doing so, they again stated that they felt unjustly persecuted, even though “just like law and justice” applied to them. They are already “broken”.
Regarding the controversial remarks that the prosecutor is investigating inciting hatred and the use of unconstitutional symbols, they said that “vulgar language” was used in the chat. But this has nothing to do with right-wing extremist sentiment. When photos of Hitler or the Nazi Party were sent, “it was said to be a sarcastic and funny way.”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Thursday that the three officials’ remarks were shocking. As in previous anonymous interviews with other media, it was once again discovered that these police officers acted as victims instead of handling allegations. “The apparent lack of knowledge of wrongdoing and self-interested arguments and arguments not only disqualifies this anonymous criticism: they emphasize that these people are not suitable for working in Swedish Krona because of their personalities.”
In addition, statements such as that only SEK, not GSG9, can perform missions at Frankfurt Airport with aircraft on the ground also caused shock in the security community. The interview said: “It takes two or three hours to get GSG9. Then they train on a parallel plane first.”
Exaggerate one’s cognition
People in the federal police circle said that this was not only wrong in fact, but also proved that their views were exaggerated. The arrival of GSG-9 officials can ensure that “in a short period of time” these forces specialize in operations on the plane. The spokesperson of the Hesse Ministry of Interior was also surprised by the remarks of SEK officials. “For many years, the Federal Government and Hessen have maintained a very close and trusting cooperation. GSG9 has indispensable excellent capabilities.”
However, the Liberal Democratic Party parliamentary group in the state assembly expressed a lack of understanding of Beuth’s approach. Security Policy Spokesperson Stefan Mueller said: “If the Minister of the Interior is convinced that the charges against officials are so serious that they can no longer be used for Swedish Krona, then he should take immediate action.”
“Beuth’s hastily disbanding the Swedish Krona is political activism and puts the safety of Hessen at risk,” commented Klaus Hermann, the domestic policy spokesperson for the AfD parliamentary group of the Hesse state parliament.
Hermann Schaus, the domestic political spokesman for the left-wing party parliamentary group of the state legislature, said he was “disheartened” by the statement of the SEK official. They “put racist, inhuman and disgusting remarks and photos into perspective and triviality”, which “knocked the bottom of the barrel”.
