Manuel Ostermann

Manuel Ostermann opposed the idea of Die Linke assuming government responsibility at the federal or state level. He described numerous positions of the party as ideologically radical and detached from reality, stating that they harm Germany. In his view, the country needs clear and responsible politics instead of an attack on the free democratic basic order. #Deutschland #Politik #Freiheit (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that he had received death threats and had been confronted with defamatory articles, insinuations, and personal attacks. This does not leave him unaffected, he explained; public figures also have feelings and a personal environment. Ostermann warned that intimidation must not become a political or social means, as threats could otherwise impair freedom of expression and thus freedom itself. Messages and conversations from supporters, according to him, encouraged him to continue. He wrote that he would continue to advocate for his beliefs and not compromise his values. #Freiheit #Zivilcourage #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that a former employee at the Dortmund immigration office is suspected of having manipulated residence permits and travel documents. So far, at least 24 conspicuous cases have come to light, and investigations are underway, he stated. For him, the case raises the fundamental question of whether, in the filling of government positions, only suitability, qualifications, and professional performance should continue to count. Especially in agencies that decide on stays and documents, in his view, neither political nor societal wish criteria should be decisive. Ostermann opposed selection based on skin color, origin, migration history, or quotas and argued that the state must choose the most suitable applicants to gain trust. https://t.co/GwOYtz6jbw #Eignung #Leistung #Vertrauen (translated)

Manuel Ostermann thanked Marcel Bohnert and the members of the Bundeswehr for their service and stated that soldiers deserved respect regardless of political views. He wrote that a soldier had been refused a handshake and described this as a matter of decency. Ostermann called for more respect, decency, and solidarity. #Bundeswehr #Respekt #Zusammenhalt (translated)

Manuel Ostermann criticized Heidi Reichinnek and accused her of distorting reality. Germany has had enough of a politics that downplays problems and ignores their consequences, he wrote. People experience reality daily on streets, in cities, schools, and public spaces, Ostermann said. It can be ignored, glossed over, or blamed on others, but it cannot be permanently repressed. In his view, Germany needs clear words, consistency, and the courage to name problems. Those who refuse to acknowledge reality will ultimately be confronted by it, he added. #Politik #Deutschland #Realität (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote on the Day of German Unity that unity does not mean uniformity, but rather standing together despite differing views. The law must apply to everyone, and freedom includes tolerating differing opinions. In light of growing societal division and diminishing respect, one must remain vigilant and stand up for democratic fundamental values, Ostermann stated. #TagDerDeutschenEinheit #3Oktober #EinigkeitRechtFreiheit #EinigkeitRechtFreiheit #Demokratie #Freiheit (translated)

Manuel Ostermann asked what was happening to the culture of debate. He wrote that increasingly it was not just the argument that counted, but also who was saying something and from what political direction the statement came. Those who deviated from the expected corridor of opinion often had to justify themselves; contradiction led to exclusion and criticism could result in personal stigmatization, which could sometimes affect one’s professional existence. For him, democracy did not mean unanimity, but the possibility of having differing opinions. One could reject an opinion and criticize it sharply, but one must accept that others expressed it. Freedom of speech is especially demonstrated by views that one is reluctant to hear. In conclusion, Ostermann asked for the opinions of his readers. #Meinungsfreiheit #Debattenkultur #Demokratie (translated)

There are people who should not sit in a parliament. One does not have to sugarcoat this or relativize it with any clichés. A mandate is not a free pass for disrespect, extremism, or political misconduct. Democracy thrives on debates about content, but it also requires decency, responsibility, and clear boundaries. #Demokratie #Politik #Respekt (translated)

Meine Damen und Herren in der Politik, ich lebe in einem Rechtsstaat, ich verteidige ihn und ich werde immer hinter den Menschen stehen, die geschworen haben, genau diesen zu schützen. Für mich ist Polizeibeamter nicht einfach irgendein Beruf. Es ist Verantwortung, Haltung und für viele eine echte Berufung. Auch für mich war es immer mehr als nur ein Job, es war ein Kindheitstraum. Umso unverständlicher ist für mich, wie heute immer wieder, vor allem politisch, gegen unsere Polizei gearbeitet wird. Nicht der Beamte, der Recht und Ordnung durchsetzt, ist das Problem. Das eigentliche Problem sind so manche Politiker und Strömungen, die Kriminalität verharmlosen, Täter schützen und dabei den notwendigen Rückhalt für unsere Sicherheitsbehörden zerstören. Wer diejenigen schwächt, die unseren Rechtsstaat verteidigen, schwächt am Ende den Rechtsstaat selbst. Unsere Polizeibeamten verdienen Respekt, Rückhalt und Anerkennung und keine pauschale Hetze gegen Menschen in Uniform. Ich werde mich immer unmissverständlich & klar davorstellen, wenn gegen unsere Einsatzkräfte Stimmung gemacht wird. Egal von wem und egal woher. Denn dieser Wahnsinn ist mit mir nicht zu machen. 🇩🇪 #Polizei #Rechtsstaat #Respekt

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit für das deutsche Vaterland! Danach lasst uns alle streben, brüderlich mit Herz und Hand! Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit sind des Glückes Unterpfand: Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes, blühe, deutsches Vaterland! Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes, blühe, deutsches Vaterland! #Einigkeit #Freiheit #Vaterland

Wir haben ein Problem totgeschwiegen, das uns jetzt überrollt. Die massiven Zunahme der organisierten Kriminalität in Deutschland zeigt uns genau diesen Fakt sehr eindrucksvoll. Die Urteile sind viel zu mild, die Verfahren dauern viel zu lange und in gesamte haben wir noch viel zu tun. https://t.co/kkTbEf1Wxl #Kriminalität #Deutschland #Gesellschaft
