- Press release -

Four years ago (in 2006) I entered into a dialogue with the public authorities (and the constitutional state.) The Supreme Court decision has now formally ended this dialogue.

The essence of what I have tried to put forward is that, as a result of mutual competition, the authorities have chosen to side with:

the winners

As a consequence, the authorities have lost any and all independence to talk and act on behalf of the people. The assumption that money is worth money in the form of interest has even prompted the government to designate the winner in advance:

the financial world,
the source of the unchecked bureaucracy.

As a result, the economy, democracy, the constitutional state, reason and integration have ultimately become subservient to the bureaucratic patterns that we ourselves have institutionalised. Over time, these patterns have created a wall of apartheid in the human psyche, stronger than the Berlin wall. This wall has increasingly alienated us from our common basis,which, in legal terms, is our constitution and, in political terms, the public interest. It is through this that we have cut ourselves off from ‘the other’ and, hence, from ourselves.

When we have the courage to face up to this, that wall in our psyche will melt like snow in summer.
