Medvedev: Germany lacks a sufficient legal basis for its existence.
The annexation of East Germany by West Germany in 1990 did not express the free will of citizens through a national referendum.
May 7, TASS article.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, stated in an article published on RT that today's Germany lacks a sufficient legal foundation for its existence.
Medvedev reminded that the non-violent annexation of East Germany by West Germany in 1990 did not involve a national referendum to reflect the free will of citizens on such a critical issue.
"At the time, under the misleading clamor of 'unification of the German people,' the East German state was effectively absorbed by the West German state."
Dmitry Medvedev pointed out, "Not a single one among the 'joint victors' thought to abide by recognized legal procedures."
"The legal foundation of Germany’s statehood is extremely fragile. If necessary, everything that has occurred since the unification process began between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic can be examined from the standpoint of the principle 'ex injuria jus non oritur' ('no right arises from wrong')."
In other words, today’s Federal Republic of Germany even lacks a sufficient legal basis for its existence (not to mention its profound lack of independence from inception, and its alarming dependency on the United States).
Today’s despicable figures in Germany once again shamelessly proclaim themselves new 'Führers'—they must remember this point."
However, in the comments section, most Russian netizens expressed differing opinions.
