Until then, I would like to continue speaking with Ruprecht Polenz, former CDU general secretary. Thank you very much for your time. Yes, thank you very much for the invitation, Ms. G. I would like to first look at this meeting with you and at the general political situation since Solingen. Can Union and Ampel really work together now? The tone was extremely rough, the ideas were very far apart. I think it's important that they can, because you always have to know what the goals of terrorism are. The terrorist is not only concerned with the victim, the victims that he directly kills, but also with using this terrible act to spread fear and terror, to undermine trust in state institutions and ultimately to destabilize a society. Against this background, it is very important that the democratic parties do not go at each other's throats, but rather that they come to common solutions in the interest of the security of our society. Migration has long been one of the major issues in society and therefore also in the election campaign in the eastern German states. What could Solingen mean, especially for the Chancellor's party, for the SPD, on Sunday? First of all, I believe that, although there are of course connections, things have to be kept apart in principle. Combating terrorism, asylum, migration and integration – these have to be separated to some extent. Even a complete abolition of the right to asylum would not protect us from terrorism, because organizations like IS, al-Qaeda and others always find ways and means to smuggle terrorists into our country or to turn people who have been living here for a long time into extremists . As politicians, you shouldn't panic and promise a lot that you can't keep afterwards. The SPD spoke very loudly with the promise that 'we're deporting people now, immediately and as many and as all as possible'. Deportation also means that the countries to which they are deported also accept these people back. When we now talk about Afghanistan and Syria, the question arises as to who we want to talk to about these deportations - the Taliban? With Assad? How have they agreed to this so far? I would like to take another look at Sunday beyond this aspect. Then parts of the population have the opportunity to show directly what they think of politics. We have seen it in other state elections; federal politics always play a big role. The SPD, as the chancellor's party and also the former people's party, is now on the verge of the 5% hurdle. So it could be that she doesn't even make it into the state parliament. What does that say about the state of Germany and our democracy? If you look at the history of the Federal Republic, including reunified Germany, then the SPD is part of the statics and stability of our country. She also made great contributions to our country during her reign, especially under Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt, and she also governs in many states and municipalities. Nobody can be happy, even if the SPD is a political opponent for me as a Christian Democrat, but we also work together in many countries and always in coalitions. No democrat should want the SPD to fall below the 5% threshold. So something we will pay attention to on Sunday and, above all, it is important that the democratic parties work together in these times, including on issues such as integration and migration, as we just heard again from Ruprecht Polenz. Many many thanks. Thanks for the invitation.
