Lanz takes Green Youth boss into the lack of traffic lights: "Why don't you get that through?"

“Markus Lanz” debates the top issues of the political up-and-coming generation with Sarah-Lee Heinrich and Jens Teutrine.

This also includes the long memory of the internet.

On Thursday evening, “Markus Lanz” welcomed two prominent representatives of the young politicians in Germany: the politician Sarah-Lee Heinrich (Greens) and the politician Jens Teutrine (FDP).

The journalist Yasmine M'Barek and the economist Vincent Stramer complete the nocturnal U30 round, which starts with the Polish-Belarusian border.

"I am totally shocked by the pictures from the border region," says Heinrich and describes the helplessness in which the migrants find themselves.

Another problem is that aid organizations and journalists have no access.

Teutrine also complains about the difficult access and turns his gaze to the background of the situation: “It is an artificially created migration crisis. Lukashenko and in the background Putin and Russia and other countries take these people and their misery in order to blackmail and destabilize the European Union and, from their point of view, to morally unmask us. "

Politicians of all parties have a responsibility to oppose this goal, also domestically: “For me that means in concrete terms that Ralph Brinkhaus said about the traffic light soundings, what was agreed there during the migration, that would lead to pull effects. "The young liberal thinks" that you shouldn't play party-political games with this situation, with the lives of these people, and then get involved with what Lukashenko sometimes wants. "

Coalition talks in danger?

The FDP sees the "Markus Lanz" round at the trigger

Markus Lanz makes it clear that the coalition negotiations are not going smoothly with a quote from Baden-Württemberg's transport minister Winfried Hermann (Greens): "If we don't get together on climate protection, there is a risk of new elections." , says: "That was now a single statement that is now also very popular in the media, because you can find little food otherwise."

"I also believe that this quote should not be overstated," Heinrich commented on her party colleague's comment.

The journalist Yasmine M'Barek, on the other hand, says: “That is exactly the style of power politics to put into perspective again what is the problem at the moment.

Namely, that the freedom of interpretation clearly rests with the FDP.

We have this Finance Minister question and who gets what. ”“ That means Lindner is on the handle? ”Asks host Lanz.

“Definitely,” says M'Barek.

Renewable Energy or Nuclear Power?

Chairmen of the Greens and FDP youth organizations debate at "Markus Lanz"

It can be seen that Heinrich finds it difficult to get used to the influence of the FDP: “We didn't complain when the speed limit fell. You could also say: Actually, we think that's a good thing and now we’re going to ride around it forever. What we just said is: Okay, if we don't save two million tons of CO2, then we have to save two million tons of CO2 elsewhere. We are quite capable of pragmatism there. What we notice is that we are racing towards the climate crisis ... "" And without a speed limit, "adds Lanz and adds," It's embarrassing. Seriously now, speed limit for example, why don't you enforce that? "

Heinrich raises his arms and makes an apologetic gesture: "It was important for the FDP." But Lanz grabs hold of himself and says: "It's kind of old-school to shoot over the autobahn at 220, isn't it?" okay, ”replies Heinrich and can't help giggling.

Teutrine answers from the point of view of a convinced FDP politician and declares the speed limit to be a symbolic debate, the real transformation is taking place in the shortening of approval procedures.

He also does not believe in any signaling effect that could emanate from Germany: “That is the same thing that we saw during the nuclear debate.

Everyone said, with a lot of morality: Then the countries of this world will follow us if we now do without nuclear power. "

"Markus Lanz" - these were his guests on November 11th:

• Sarah-Lee Heinrich

  (Greens) - politician

• Jens Teutrine

  (FDP) - politician

• Yasmine M'Barek

  - journalist

• Vincent Stamer

  - economist

"Then we are now in the heated debate," said a happy moderator Lanz and would like to know from Teutrine whether he considers it a mistake to have withdrawn from atomic energy.

"Yes," says the latter, but restricts the fact that he does not want to get back into it "at this point in time".

“For example, I would want to continue researching nuclear fusion and the like.

But I believe that there is now an introductory debate where we can even find a consensus in a traffic light, for example. "

M'Barek is also campaigning for nuclear energy because it is emission-free and would like more research that works on reducing nuclear waste: “To achieve this great goal, which all parties should have, namely the climate crisis and 1.5 degrees are preventable.

That should just be the subject of discussion and that is impossible in the German discourse with a view to atomic energy. "Heinrich is not very sad about this:" In the German debate I would also say: The thing is just through. "The federal spokeswoman for the Green Youth thinks it is right, "that the political focus is on massively expanding renewable energies."

Sarah-Lee Heinrich assigns tweets from her youth to “Markus Lanz”

Lanz then talks to Heinrich about her deleted tweets from her youth, which recently came to light again. “At a young age I spent a lot, maybe too much, on the Internet and then a few years ago I used the 'TweetDelete' program to delete all tweets and assumed that they were all gone. But if you then searched for the tweets individually, they still turned up. ”“ Because the network never forgets, ”throws in host Lanz. “Exactly, the network never forgets. That is perhaps the first lesson that can be learned from it. "

One after the other, Heinrich goes through several tweets together with Lanz. She doesn't skimp on self-criticism: “That is of course wrong, totally polemical and not okay,” she says at one point about her younger self. She also accepts the criticism of the author Elke Heidenreich, who complained to “Markus Lanz” a few weeks ago that Heinrich did not have adequate language for her social criticism. Heinrich, who had spoken of a “disgusting white majority society”, admits: “To be honest, I haven't found the right language for it. It was very difficult for me to express myself on the subject of racism. "

Her conclusion: "I understand that the sentence is hurtful and I also feel sorry for him and so I don't even talk about racism anymore." Respect: “I think that's a great sign of political strength.

To reflect, after a few years already and to say: I have reconsidered my statement, I think my point of view is wrong and I didn't even have the strength to articulate what I actually wanted to say.

That is why I am of the opinion that I, and I know Sarah from political debates, have great respect. "

“Markus Lanz” - the conclusion of the show

At "Markus Lanz" on Thursday evening, Sarah-Lee Heinrich (Greens) and Jens Teutrine (FDP), the federal spokeswoman for the Green Youth and the chairman of the Young Liberals, will meet.

In the debate, their different political ideals become clear, the journalist Yasmine M'Barek completes the sometimes controversial discussion.

The economist Vincent Stramer hardly takes part in the debate, which is why talk show host Lanz promises him another invitation in the run-up to Christmas.
