Scathing Assessment of Government Communication over Solingen Attack SMS exchanges: SPD Faction pushes for State Secretaries' Testimony
Parliamentary Group to Summon State Secretaries Based on SMS Logs - Recommendation for a Proposal on Occupational Safety from Electronic Communication Network Risks has been Solicited by the Commission.
Let's cut to the chase, y'all. The SPD gang in North Rhine-Westphalia's legislative assembly is none too happy about certain bloodless SMS chats concerning the Solingen disaster last year. They want to face off with two state secretaries – Lorenz Bahr-Hedemann and Daniela Lesmeister – regarding these LTE convo leaks, following a bust-up in Solingen. To make it happen, they slapped together a motion to force these cats to speak up in front of the Parliamentary Investigative Committee (PUA) probing the bloody affair where three people met their maker. The dpa and "Rheinische Post" (the online version, chums) got wind of this shindig.
Lemme break it down, Lesmeister is a pompous ass-clown playing in the Interior Ministry of expedition leader Herbert Reul (CDU). On the flip side, Bahr-Hedemann's serving under Josefine Paul (Greens) in the Refugee Ministry. The leaked sales chats didn't paint a pretty picture for Bahr-Hedemann, depicting him as lost as a donkey in a desert storm. The dude kept firing off questions to his fellow ideologue, but after an evasive response, there was nary a peep for hours, even though Paul's subordinate had already caught wind of an arrest in a refugee house via the media.
The chairwoman of the SPD's joint committee, Lisa Kapteinat, pummeled the CDU-led Interior Ministry in late April and accused 'em of withholding important info from their Green bedfellows. Oh, and it came to light that Lesmeister didn't reply to the probe and the query didn't show up in the chat history. It wasn't until the following dawn that Lesmeister hopped on their high horse again to clarify matters from the previous night. Bahr-Hedemann, feeling like he was caught in a baby gate, fumed over his inability to answer press brouhaha. Lesmeister countered, claiming she had the same issue.
The Solingen Slaughter
So, let's jog our memory, shall we? On August 23 last year, the deadbeat Syrian Issa Al H., armed with a blade, left a trail of carnage at a city shindig in Solingen. He's been nabbed and is swinging in the slammer on charges of cold-blooded murder. You guessed it! The terrorist squad Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the bloodbath.
