Internet Connects the German Dots

Newsletter 2008/01/25 - Cultivating Relationships
BERLIN/FLENSBURG (Own report) - The German government is establishing
an Internet portal to connect German-speaking minorities in Europe and
Asia, thereby expanding the political manipulation of population
segments of foreign countries. "Members of ethnic German minorities of
one country" could more easily than ever "be linked up to German
minorities of other nations" and can "cultivate intensive relations to
interested parties in Germany," explained Christoph Bergner, the
German government's Commissioner for Repatriation Issues and National
Minorities in Germany. The German government has already initiated a
special support for the German "Volksgruppen", conceived of as
communities of blood-ancestry and is using them as "bridgeheads"
within their respective nations, e.g. Poland, Denmark and Kazakhstan.
The new internet portal is being initiated by an association that was
founded in the 1950s by "Volksgruppen" experts of the 1930s. Since its
inception, the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN), with
headquarters in Flensburg, (Schleswig-Holstein) has been confederating
the ethnic minorities from all over Europe under German leadership.
The association pursues the prototype set by a predecessor
organization in the period of the Weimar Republic. The chair of the
association's advisory committee is an undersecretary in the Ministry
of the Interior.
