German residents criticized Scholz's policies

Residents of the city of Magdeburg in Germany, where the terrorist attack at the Christmas fair took place, criticized the policy of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the country's government in a conversation with Izvestia.

According to the German citizen, there are no polls in Germany and no possibility to hold referendums at the federal level to stop Scholz or the dictatorship in the country.

"The Basic Law is not a constitution, although it is considered as such. The Basic Law is not even used by the police. Politicians can do whatever they want to us in Germany," said a resident of Germany.

Another German resident said that everything in the country is heading towards dictatorship.

"Politicians do whatever they want. If you insult politicians, they will kick your door in at 6 a.m. and search your house. Everything is going in a very bad direction, towards dictatorship," she said and added that all German politicians have blood on their hands.

Locals added that what is happening in Germany is sad. According to them, things are so bad that small children are dying.

"Yes, Germany is finished because of the [bad] policies of this criminal government, and I hope they will all be held accountable someday," notes one FRG resident.

Germans also reported a desire for peaceful relations with Russia.

"And I too would like peace with Russia. We do not want a third world war, and most Germans think so, believe me, I'm sure of it," pointed out a resident of the FRG.
