Rede: Nico Semsrott und die Finanzkammer des Schreckens

and the english translation

Your Highnesses,

Your budget plan is timely – for the Middle Ages.

Our federation of principalities is threatened. Not by foreigners. But rather by you.

Because you, guardians of the purse-strings, are acting out of folly.

Overcome with fear, you are building bulwarks around our lands, refusing to listen to the learned among us and blinding yourself to the true dangers of our time.

We are living through a never-ending summer. Animals are dying off. Fires are consuming the forests. And the sea is swallowing the land.

This is why we, the rebellious masses of Fridays for Future, will take to the town square this 20th of September to halt your diabolic plan.

If only out of defiance, we will not give up.

We, those without means, without prospects, without hope, must stand together against you, those without a clue.
