This past week....the Green Party in Germany has released a 'plan' (10 points) to get the public engaged....to make the country safer.
So one of the points is this odd idea....a national annual training day....for civil protection.
What is envisioned? You would have civil protection folks and the population itself....mingle and achieve some exercise....showing teamwork, and protection together.
The public buying into this? I have my doubts.
From the other points? Well....they want some interdisciplinary task forces....composed of the police, social workers, and psychologists. Purpose? It sounds like to reassure the public of 'help' when bad things happen. Instead of calling the three together....they'd already be formed into one single group.
Added to this....more protection of women from violence (suggesting that it'd later add transmen/transwomen and non-binary people).
I went through the text....coming finally to "life-changing security measures." Yeah, a bit wordy...if you ask me.
Trying to generate attention and rebuilding public confidence with the Green Party? That's the basic idea.
I would suggest that a lot of 'water' has passed under this bridge, and just talking about some nice ideas....presently, it won't carry much weight with the public.
Course, if you asked the CDU-CSU, Linke Party, SPD Party, or AfD....they'd also say that making Germany safer is a high priority.
If you'd asked me ten to twenty years ago....safety being a top three political German public priority. I would have laughed. But that's the current trend.
