Opponent Quotes – Original
On this page, I collect publicly made statements by representatives of the so-called established parties.
The quotes documented here are reproduced in their original wording and each is attributed to a person as well as the known context. The purpose of this collection is not agreement, but remembrance</stron
Quoting these statements—whether here or by sharing individual quote images—explicitly does not constitute substantive appropriation or support of the statements made.
On the contrary, this collection serves the purpose of not forgetting, contextualization, and public engagement with political positions that have shaped the societal course of recent years.
Each quote stands on its own.
It is not interpreted, softened, or distorted.
Because political responsibility begins where
words are not erased from memory.
