Despite the arrival of winter, Berlin's left has decided that there can be no exception to the rule: homeless people who take refuge in the metro to stay warm will no longer be able to do so if they are not 'vaccinated, recovered from COVID or tested'. Clearly, COVID-19 has shattered the fragile veneer of humanity that characterised our civilisation.
December 10th
Here is a headline in the world press on Wednesday, December 8: the Berlin Senate introduced the so-called '3Gs' system, geimpft, genesen, getestet (“vaccinated, recovered or tested”) in the city subway. It will no longer be possible to stay on a platform if you do not have a sanitary pass.
When the senators were questioned, they regretted that this also applies to the poorest, the homeless, and those who, as winter approaches, take refuge in the metro. No exceptions are possible.
That, following this, the city's social services explained that they were taking the situation very seriously and would do everything they can to enable the “homeless” to benefit from reception spaces and get vaccinated, does not change the reality. We have a government alliance in which the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Left expel the poorest from one of the few places they could take shelter.
For the record, nearly 19% of Germans live below the poverty line, set at 1,074 euros by the country's Statistical Office.
The ever fragile veneer of humanity
The behavior of the left-wing majority in Berlin is undoubtedly to be placed in the overall context of a political, ethical, spiritual collapse of Western nations. Since the start of the epidemic, we have been able to measure both the degree of corruption of our leaders, the blindness of the Catholic episcopal hierarchy, the disappearance of scientific ethics in medical journals that have never ceased to discredit treatments other than the vaccine, the schools' mask imposition (I know of nothing more despicable on the subject than an article like this, for example) and the push for the vaccination of children.
Contrary to what shallow minds believe, the Principles of Law on which democracy is based can't be blithely played around with. Beneath the law and beneath politics, there must also be unwritten laws, as Antigone says, and an objective ethical reality that provides the foundation for humanity. A society that expels its homeless from the metro under the pretext of protecting itself from a disease that has claimed, at most, 2% globally of the number of victims of the Spanish flu, is a society whose frameworks are about to collapse.
At any rate, Berlin's left has lost all political and moral standing.
