Show red cards: This is what a serious protest against the corona policy can look like

display

For yesterday I had noted an appointment in my analog calendar: 1 p.m., demo, Chancellery.

It was

a demonstration against the chaotic corona policy of the federal government.

Rather, the demonstrators wanted to remember the fate of the 66-year-old Cologne-based Nahid Taghavi, who has been held hostage in Iran for months as a hostage to the regime there - and whose release our government could do much more energetically, if every life is so important to her would be as she claims in the case of Corona.

Which brings me to my actual topic: What could a serious protest look like against a policy that puts our entire society in jail for months, but fails miserably in all government action (masks, vaccines, appointments, tests)?

Demonstrations would be the obvious means, but demonstrations have so far been dominated by the unreasonable, by corona deniers and by right-wing extremists who seek to subvert every movement and thereby discredit it.

Riots like the weekend in Kassel make this originally democratic form of protest unusable for the large dissatisfied majority of citizens.

Perhaps we need a party to support the demonstrations, and as things stand, that could only be the FDP for sensible people.

But he lacks the courage.

The trade unions and professional associations are also strangely silent in this crisis of our democracy.

While the farmers with their giant haulers seem to paralyze the traffic in the capital every week, there is a lack of innkeepers who occasionally throw two or three truckloads of old dishes in front of the Chancellery - after all, when the pubs are finally bankrupt, they no longer need it.

Dare to civil disobedience

Why are students in France fighting for university attendance, but no one in this country?

Why don't we ask all of our directly elected members of the Bundestag for a personal interview on the situation as soon as possible?

Why not open all shops in an act of civil disobedience, for example on the next Sunday - have fun, public order offices!

In Britain, a

was once

brought down by window posters that spread like wildfire across the country.

Our window poster could simply be a red card for madness.

Simply stick a DIN-A-3 sheet of light red construction paper in the window - for shopping, please make an appointment by phone at your trusted stationery store.

If that hasn't closed yet.
