The Citizens Are Paying the Price for the War of PoliticsNews channels are in overdrive, the world is burning on all fronts, and what are our local politicians doing? They hide in their offices and ignore the burning problems right outside their door. Peace? No sign of it. Responsibility? Why should they? Instead, they let the citizens pay for the war of politics – quite literally. 
Take the example of car insurance in the Burgenlandkreis. A courageous citizen recently asked at an event with the district administrator why insurance premiums are skyrocketing in the Burgenlandkreis and why local companies and residents suffer under a poor regional classification. The answer? “That’s not our responsibility.” And that is the only correct answer in a world where politics has long since relinquished control over its fundamental duties. The affected person’s question starts at 3 minutes and 23 seconds in the video. The real culprits sit elsewhere: Irresponsible politics entangled in international conflicts, while on the local level, peace seems to matter to no one. Especially Ukrainian fellow citizens, whose vehicles are often uninsured, are named as co-responsible for the high damage sums, which are then covered by German citizens through traffic victim compensation. Naturally, these damage payments burden the insurers, and who ends up footing the bill? The citizens, watching their insurance premiums skyrocket. The real shame: The district administrator had no answer that could give people hope. No relief fund, no support for companies disproportionately burdened by these misguided developments. On the contrary, if companies prefer to relocate to another district to escape the cost madness, this is noted without any emotion. Great, isn’t it? 
Peace Demonstrations and Politician Absence – An Open SecretOn October 23, 2024, there will be another peace demonstration in Weißenfels. But where will the local politicians be? At this peace demonstration, where citizens raise their voices against war and fight for a peaceful future, most of them will not be seen. Instead of taking up the cause of peace, they vanish into their meeting rooms or simply remain absent. Only a few brave exceptions will show up – the rest? Apparently, peace is not a topic worth marking on their calendars.One has to let that sink in: While citizens defend themselves against the consequences of international conflicts and fight for peace, most of their political representatives are conspicuously absent. This was also the case at the "Bridge Lighting for Peace," a symbolic event where one would expect the support of local politicians. But their absence speaks volumes: Peace seems to be an issue they simply do not feel responsible for. Peace Congress for a Peaceful FutureCommitted citizens bring hope. From October 25 to 27, 2024, the Peace Congress 2024 – Together for a Peaceful Future at the Ordensburg Liebstedt near Apolda in Thuringia will take place. Anyone who truly wants to engage for peace should consider attending this congress. A gathering of people ready to take responsibility – unlike many politicians who prefer to hide away in their offices claiming “not our responsibility.”Maybe some of these local politicians should attend the Peace Congress to learn what it really means to advocate for the citizens instead of hiding behind clichés like “We’re not responsible.” That would be a start. No Responsibility, No PeaceThe absence of local politicians at peace demonstrations and their indifferent reactions to pressing questions clearly show one thing: The citizens are on their own. While insurance premiums explode, international conflicts knock at the doorstep, and peace seems far away, politics looks the other way. The war of politics is being fought on the backs of the people – and the citizens end up paying the price.It’s time for something to change. Those who truly stand for peace must not look away. And those who bear political responsibility should stop hiding behind questions of jurisdiction and finally take action. Author: AI-Translation - Sabine Krüger | 22.10.2024 |
