Freiburg (AP) - Coach Christian Streich from SC Freiburg regards the storm of supporters of the elected US President Donald Trump on the Capitol in Washington as a warning for the political and social situation in Germany.
"It must be a warning for all of us - also in our country," said the coach of the Baden Bundesliga club on Thursday.
"As bad as it is, it might even help us when we see these pictures to know how quickly things can go in such a direction."
Given what he has "learned from the history of the past few hundred years and that of the 20th century, I am not surprised by what is happening in America now," Streich said.
"I honestly expected it that way."
You just have to “look carefully at what happened in this country, how this racist and misanthropist was accompanied by not a few people, including from the political and economic elite.
How he was supported. "
Therefore, there is «not one culprit, but many in the leadership of the USA who are now responsible for people dying, that very, very many have already died, for example with Corona, and that there is still terrible racism in this country . "
But it was important "not to look at America all the time," said Streich.
«In our country, in a democratically elected party, inflammatory slogans are spread and people are smuggled into buildings that are a symbol of our democracy, and parliamentarians are bullied and attacked.
That happened a few weeks ago. "
Wherever possible, you have to show moral courage.
“You can now see in America how quickly it can happen, that even the unbelievable becomes possible.
Just as this person was fired up and supported, also by a so-called right-wing intelligentsia, you don't have to be surprised that there are now dead and that the center of democracy is being attacked in a terrorist manner. "
