work, that's also fine. but that's not what we are experiencing. this year alone, we have an influx of some 800,000 people. and at the same time, those on social welfare, when it comes, for example, to syrians, which make up a big group, 55% of them are on social welfare — not talking about ukrainians, who, for some other reasons, are even beyond those numbers, above those numbers. isn't the truth, mr boehringer, that what we have here is a policy based not on economics or demographics, it's simply based on prejudice? you're the man who once described germany's muslim population as, quote, "a great danger to our state." and there are other seniorfigures in the afd who absolutely explicitly peddle the so—called great replacement theory, the idea that muslim peoples and populations are coming in to white countries to ultimately try and replace them and dominate the white people. that's what this is

but the just energy transition faces obstacles — lots of them. coal miners and their unions worry — with good reason — about their own jobs vanishing here in south africa. many people will lose theirjob. they'll lose their job if the coal was closed down, the coal mining stopped? we'd lose ourjob. and then, there's the politics. plenty of seniorfigures here are sceptical, to put it mildly, about the very idea of abandoning coal. you've been described as a coal fundamentalist, as a bit of a dinosaur, somebody who's obsessed with coal. yes, they call me all sorts of things. �coal fundamentalist� and �fossil fuel dinosaur�. do you recognise that? i take those as prestigious statements. it�*s a compliment. yeah. those are prestigious titles for me.
