Emotional speech in the city council: Eckmann calls for humanity!

Friedrichshafen, Deutschland - In an emotional speech at the beginning of the municipal council meeting in Friedrichshafen, Matthias Eckmann from the SPD urgently advocated more "humanity and cosmopolitanism". In view of the current social challenges, he did not want to pass the agenda immediately, but paused and look back on the recent events. He particularly referred to the tragic fatal attack in Aschaffenburg and the impressive demonstration against right -wing extremism in Ravensburg, in which around 10,000 people took part. This shows how explosive the topic of discrimination and violence in society is, which still represents everyday experience in Germany for many people today.

Eckmann expressed his anger and grief about the attack in Aschaffenburg and the reactions of the political parties. He criticized the "emotional quick shots, generalizations and drawers". He appealed to the parliamentary group leader and spokesman for the municipal council factions to be human and honest and to look objectively for solutions. He called for "linguistic disarmament" to establish a respectful dialogue. The reactions of his listeners were behavior; Occepted knocks were to be heard.

political reactions in the committee

Mayor Simon Blümcke noticed that such speeches are not intended in the common process, but announced that the Council of Elders will advise whether a fixed format should be set up for such explanations. This could represent an important step towards an open discussion culture in the municipal council, which also takes into account the social issues mentioned.

racist discrimination and violence are also relevant topics in the context of this political debate, which are documented by independent initiatives and anti -discrimination sites. In the 1990s it was often difficult in Germany to recognize racism as a social problem. Today there is an increasing problematization of this topic in parts of the public, media and politics. Post -migrant society, treated as a central aspect of migration research, describes a reality in which migration is considered a norm and cultural diversity is considered enriching.

social challenges

The integration paradox states that migration -related conflicts are often seen as an indicator of successful integration. However, studies that examine the attitudes of the German population to society, religion and identity show that there are still minorities. In particular, people with a migration background often have to struggle with discriminatory experiences, even if they are seen as part of society.

This topic is not only of academic interest. The challenges of integration and the reduction of racism are part of an exciting social negotiation process that should also be taken into account in the current political discussion. Eckmann's appeal for humanity could serve as an impulse provider for an open -minded and respectful examination of diversity in our society.
