Germany: Police union chief blasts Merkel’s government for no ban on flights from coronavirus-ridden Iran

Mar 20, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The folly of Merkel’s policies are being revealed in all sorts of new ways.

“Police union leader blasts German gov’t for no ban on flights from Iran,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, March 17, 2020:

BERLIN – Jörg Radek, deputy chairman of the German police union, on Monday sharply rebuked Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government for failing to restrict air traffic from coronavirus-infected Iran.

“If we close the land border, then we must also restrict air traffic,” he told news outlet RND. It would be best if certain planes “did not even start,” he said.

Regarding travel from Iran, “you have to take measures so that this is not possible.” Radek said.

Iran is at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East. The death rate has reached 853, and 14,991 people are infected with the virus, Iranian authorities reported. The real numbers of deaths and infections are believed to be significantly higher due to the opaque nature of reporting in a society deemed not to be free.

Merkel’s administration has permitted flights from US-sanctioned IranAir to land in German cities.

Germany’s Transportation Ministry on Monday said it planned to halt flights from Iran and China….

      When they Germans had a chance to dump Merkel they didn’t. They could have given the AfD a chance to straighten out the mess she has made but instead they went ahead and let her be re-elected. It’s difficult to gin up any sympathy for Germany now. Same with France. And the rest of these countries should begin today – coronavirus notwithstanding – to extricate themselves from this web of the EU. It has proven useless to everyone but the billionaire oligarchs it was set up to serve. Get over it, Europe. If you want to survive put a match to the EU and hang each of its designers in the public square – upside down, like Mussolini.

        Merkel father was a Lutheran minister(in East Germany) it is a well know fact.Any Jews left in Germany are some of the main targets of these “refugees”,In France the few remaining Jews are leaving because of the Moslem inversion.Anti-Semitics is very strong in Islam ,it is very strong in Nazism,and it has been embrace by the progressive left ,the the company you keep by your post.Israel and the Jews are not responsible for violent Jihadism of Islam ,Islam is responsible .The far left progressive idiots like Merkel want to comment cultural suicide by embracing Islam because it is anti-Christian,anti-Jewish cultural.

    Now Iran has a weapon of mass destruction, and thousands carry it. Now thanks to Merkel they have a direct delivery system into Europe.

    Of course they don’t care if they die, just as long as they take down infidels. CORONA Ahkbar!

    Merkel has already condemned her country to extinction by her immigration policy. Germany is full of people who will keep Merkel in power to thank her for her generous treatment of people from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    It’s taken years for some of the Authorities’ Personnel to at last speak out! The horrific events of Nazism & the Holocaust have bitten really deep into the conscience of Germans for nigh on 3 generations now. They were so muted that that nobody dare speak out about the Crimes, including rapes & murders being perpetrated by these Muslim Arabs/Asians/Africans for fear of being called “Racist”. Yet, the Nazis thoroughly endorsed Islam! Couldn’t they see what they were openly inviting into their Country & indeed, Western Europe? This will be resolved only when this rabid, feral scum are removed & ALL the Politicians & Civil Servants that promoted this insanity are removed & dealt with accordingly.

    Saudi oil money?

      Generally the Saudis consider the mostly Shia Iranians to be enemies. They tend to make an exception when they are threatening Infidels, though.

    She;s pressing on with the Kalergi Plan regardless! Ought to watch on youtube.co.uk: Merkel Accelerates the Kalergi Plan. She & her kind are a total disgrace.

    That is a huge mistake, not only for Germany but for the rest of the world. Merkel must be riding the muslim money train at the expense of the German public.
