Many Russian media wrote that the Russian Commissioner for Rights of Russians was appointed in the Bundestag. Russian Germans and Russian -language citizens of Germany in case of discrimination will be able to contact him. We found out how much these messages are true.
According to numerous messages Russian federal media, on June 21, 2022, the Bundestag deputy Yevgeny Schmidt was appointed Commissioner for the Rights of Russian Germans. RIA Novosti Wrote: “Member of the Adg party (“ Alternative for Germany ”) Evgeny Schmidt became the Commissioner for Russians' Rights in the country.” And "Public Service of News" Addedthat “a meeting on this occasion in the Bundestag” is the parliament of Germany. Publications also Reportthat in addition to this, Schmidt became the co -founder of the new NPO, created to protect the Russians. Channel "Ren-TV" transfers Schmidt's words about the reasons for creating an organization: “In Germany, Russian -speaking people were scared. <...> Some employers began to interfere with their careers to employees who have relatives in Russia. Rusophobia did not pass even children. Schmidt said that in educational institutions and kindergartens, some teachers begin to poison children and arrange real psychological violence against them. ”
We could not find a single mention of this news in the German media. The only one publication In German, we found at the request “Beauftragter für russlanddeutsche” (“Commissioner for Russian Germans' Rights”) was published by the German -speaking channel of the Russian state edition of Russia Today, which is headed by Margarita Simonyan.
Typically, the appointment of the new Ombudsman is widely covered in the German press, in addition, information about this is published on the website of the German federal government. For example, as in the case of purpose Ferdy Ataman to the position of authorized to combat discrimination. Or a ram alabali-radovan- authorized to combat racism in Germany. According to the explanatory document Bundestaga, Ombudsmen in Germany are subordinate to the federal ministers and support them in the implementation of government tasks. They are appointed directly by the federal government - by decision of the Cabinet of Ministers or by decree of the Chancellor of Germany.
How did it happen that the appointment of Yevgeny Schmidt to the post of German Ombudsman remained unnoticed in Germany itself? The fact is that, contrary to the clicky headings of the Russian media, Schmidt did not become the official Federal Ombudsman for Russians. Such a position in Germany does not exist at all. Voting on the appointment of him by the representative of the Russian Germans was on meetings The ultra -right party "Alternative for Germany" ("ADG"). "Adg" occupies 80 of 736 deputy chairs in parliament, one of which belongs to Evgeny Schmidt. By the way, since 2016 he occupied A similar position of a representative in the affairs of Russian Germans, but from the regional branch of ADG in the land of North Rhine - Westphalia. And from June 21, 2022, apparently, he became a representative from the central branch of the party.
The day after the appointment, June 22, Evgeny Schmidt and his party colleague Ulrich Oma announced On the creation of the organization "Association on the Prevention of Discrimination and Social Society of Russian Germans and Russian -Sounding Citizens in Germany" (VDAR). Oema became her chairman, and Schmidt became his deputy. This organization can also be called the initiative of several parliamentarians, politicians and lawyers rather than an official structure.
Thus, Evgeny Schmidt was indeed chosen by the representative of the Russian Germans, as evidenced by the official page Parliamentation on Facebook. The difference is that the decision was made by his party colleagues, and not the federal government or the Bundestag, as the readers of the Russian media might seem. And the difference here is fundamental, since this position has no authority approved by the state. How said The deputy himself, he will become a contact person in the ADG party and the VDAR organization for Russian Germans. Such a definition - the contact person - more accurately describes the new position and function of Schmidt than misleading the titles used in Russian headlines.
