Protest gegen Potsdam
Die Einführung des Gedenktages gehört zu den Maßnahmen, mit denen die deutsche Politik die Meinung, die Umsiedlung sei „Unrecht“ gewesen, in den künftigen Generationen verankern will. An diese – geschichtlich unzutreffende – Auffassung können politische Ansprüche gegenüber den Staaten Ost- und Südosteuropas geknüpft werden, die für Deutschland vorteilhaft sind. Zusätzlich zur Einführung des Gedenktags unterstützt Bayern die Errichtung eines „Sudetendeutschen Museums“ in München mit 20 Millionen Euro; ergänzend hat der Deutsche Bundestag zehn Millionen Euro zugesagt. Eine Ausstellung, die als möglicher Kern des Museums gilt, stellt die Rechtmäßigkeit der tschechoslowakischen Staatsgründung in Teilen in Frage und stützt umstrittene Aussagen auf NS-Quellen.

Die Sprachlosigkeit der Kanzlerin macht sprachlos
Die Spießigkeit unseres Landes, die Entwertung des Individualismus zu Gunsten des Kollektivs in nie geahnter Form macht sprachlos. Die Weigerung der Kanzlerin, ihr Handeln zu offenbaren und die lammfromme Duldung dieser Entwicklung durch die Bürger ebenso. Dabei steht eine Menge auf dem Spiel. Schon jetzt gibt es die Bundesrepublik im Sinne der Vor-Vereinigungszeiten nicht mehr.
