The historical work by the Donald J. Trump US administration has confirmed that around the world, NGOs and political parties were funded by USAID and the Soros network of foundations to promote the Leftist-Liberal-Globalist agenda.
And in Germany it isn’t any different, as I had the opportunity of writing here in TGP previously.
But it’s quite surprising that Germany’s mainstream ‘conservative’ ‘chancellor-in-waiting’ Friedrich Merz yesterday (26) would try to shed light in these nefarious organizations by fielding hundreds of parliamentary questions.
Merz drew bitching and moaning from the German establishment – including the Olaf Scholz’s party that is expected to be his party coalition partner – for what some see as ‘an attack on German civil society’ (a.k.a. Globalist infiltrators).
Reuters reported:
“The 31-page filing, signed by Merz in his capacity as parliamentary leader of the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU), asked the outgoing Social Democrat-led (SPD) government 551 questions on whether civil society groups which had received government funding were politically neutral.”
The Reuters report immediately charges Merz withy being ‘gaffe-prone’, as if this was an ‘accident’.
“The filing also coincides with moves by the Trump administration in the United States against USAID, the world’s largest single funder of civil society groups, which have caused deep unease among political parties and NGOs in Europe.”
One of the groups mentioned in the CDU filing with the Bundestag is ‘Grandmas against the Right’, which organized protests against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) right-wingers and Merz’s CDU voting together to pass a parliamentary motion calling for tighter immigration controls.
“’How much does Grandmas against the Right get from the state?’ asked the legislators. ‘Are there links between Grandmas against the Right and certain parties or political actors?’”
In politics, you must never ask a question that you don’t know the answer to – and Merz knows very well about the ‘Grannies’ – and we know too, as we previously reported on this Bild piece:
“The ‘grannies’ also have their demo coffers topped up by the state. This is according to a response by the federal government to an AfD inquiry from August 2024, which was first reported by ‘NIUS’. According to this, the ‘Grannies against the Right’ have so far collected 18,000 euros from the program ‘Live Democracy’ of Family Minister Lisa Paus, another 5000 euros flowed from the Federal Chancellery to the demo ladies.”
The ’Grannies’ are therefore funded by Minister Lisa Paus from the leftist-Globalist Green party, member of the failed Scholz outgoing coalition, and by the Chancellor himself.
Back to the Reuters report, we learn that other NGOs cited in the filing include Correctiv, an ‘investigative journalism portal.’
“’Tax-supported groups are allowed to exercise influence on public opinion provided they remain neutral with respect to political parties’, said Christian Democrat legislator Mathias Middelberg. ‘With our parliamentary question we want to check if this is the case’.”
The hundreds of questions prompted criticism from the SPD, Merz’s probable partner in a future coalition government, outraged that Merz questions ‘the organizations that defend German democracy’.
The small ‘Left party’ also said that the CDU’s filing was ‘shameful’, comparing it to ‘the methods of the far right’.
