FDP party leader Christian Lindner feels deliberately misunderstood in debate about his remarks about foreign anxiety. In his controversial speech at FDP party congress, 100 critical journalists were in room, said Lindner now in Berlin. However, subject was only a day later. “This shows me that we are working here with shooting, even with a conscious misunderstanding.”

On Saturday, Lindner had reproduced an anecdote on FDP party congress which had been told by a well-known immigrant background. This was about a person who ordered a bakery “with broken German a bun” – and people in queue did not know, “wher this is highly qualified developer of artificial intelligence from India, or actually an illegally held in us, At most tolerated foreigners “. This uncertainty could trigger anxiety, said Lindner. That is why State must provide for orderly immigration.
These statements were often considered racist in public. The SPD internal politician Burkhard Lischka spoke of a “stupid anecdote”. Christian Bäumler, Vice-president of Christian Democratic Workforce (CDA), spoke in Handelsblatt even of “mood-making against dark-skinned and Hartz-IV recipients with refugee history”. This is why Lindner operates ” business of AfD”, said Bäumler.
Lindner, however, rejected criticism of his speech. In course of debate, many people with a migrant background had come to him, he said furr. Since beginning of refugee crisis of 2015, se had “lamented a change of climate in everyday life”. The people who contacted him would have given him right “that y want nothing more than a liberal, ideologically neutral state of law”. According to Lindner, this is “most important precondition for social peace”.
