Horst Seehofer was the first Federal Minister of the Interior not to participate in the Summit of Integration. One of the reasons was that he did not want to meet the journalist Ferda Ataman. Today, two initiatives in Cologne and Berlin have rejected an appointment for the German Neighborhood Award because they do not want to meet him.
"We can not imagine being on a stage with Horst Seehofer," said Diana Henniges of the Board of Directors. The aid organization for refugees from Berlin "helps Moabit". They would have been very happy with the appointment, but the patronage of Seehofer they could not agree with their intentions.
Also a Cologne club, whose project "Kasimir" gives free bicycles in the city, withdrew its application because of the patronage of Seehofer. "This is not our neighborhood form, we do not want it to be so divisive," said a spokesman. In their opinion, a political consensus has recently been canceled.
For weeks, the CSU has been fighting with Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CDU on the issue of the rejection of migrants at the German border. Therefore, the breakup of the Union seemed possible for a short time
The donation nebenan.de wants to hand over neighborhood awards with a total of 50,000 euros in early September. "Of course, we regret it, but we understand it too," said director Michael Vollmann about the cancellation of both initiatives. Seehofer's statements regarding the admission of many refugees have also been the subject of critical examination in the foundation.
Just a few days ago, the highest German judge Andreas Voßkuhle criticized Horst Seehofer for his choice of words in the asylum dispute. The Federal Minister of the Interior rejected this abruptly.
