In his speech on the occasion of the demonstration of the Peace Movement on the anniversary of the end of the war on May 8, 1946 the spokesperson of PRO ASYL, Heiko Kauffmann, called upon politicians, to take to heart the apprenticeships of May 8 and the bequest of the victims of persecution of the Nazi-regime by a generous reception of refugees.
This „miserable bargain and haggle“ on figures, quota, burden sharing und entry modalities is a shameful and wretched spectacle. If it would be really a matter of „humaneness“, then far more refugees from Kosovo should be protected in Germany and Europe in view of the dimension of expulsion, the overcrowded refugee camps and the excessive demands made upon the neighbouring countries Albania and Macedonia. Also refugees from the FR Yugoslavia, conscientious objectors and deserters as well as Roma and other ethnic minorities should be received.
Kauffmann intensively called upon the Western governments and the NATO to stop bombing and to return „into the legal frame of International Law under the roof of UN“.
