Rudolf Karl Krause
Rudolf Karl Krause (born December 18, 1946 in Breitenhagen ) is a German politician ( CDU , REP ). He was a member of the German Bundestag from 1990 to 1994 .
Life
The veterinarian from Saxony-Anhalt became a member of the CDU after reunification and in 1990 moved into the Bundestag through a direct mandate in the Altmark constituency . Krause was also a founding member and speaker of the Christian Conservative Germany Forum (CKDF). After an interview with the right-wing extremist magazine Nation und Europa , he was expelled from the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in May 1993 . From then on he was a non-attached MP .
After his faction exclusion and his resignation from the CDU, Krause joined the Republicans party . In July 1993 he became state chairman of the party in Saxony-Anhalt. He also took on the post of deputy federal chairman. Despite his CDU origins, he belonged to the more extreme wing of the Republicans, which did not necessarily refuse to close ranks on the far right. As Franz Schönhuber's preferred candidate for the federal chairmanship, he lost to Rolf Schlierer in 1994 . In the following years he left the party and ran for the DVU in the 1998 Bundestag election at number one on the state list of Saxony.
According to the Bundestag administration , Krause was an avowed member of the New Apostolic Church during his mandate .
After leaving the Bundestag, Krause said he worked as a veterinarian in Berlin-Tiergarten for 20 years before reopening a small animal practice in Bonese .
Parliamentary work
After joining the Republicans, Krause developed greater activity - 333 parliamentary processes during this period compared to 71 in the three years before. On almost every day of the meeting, he participated several times in debates on various topics. A recurring theme in his contributions was the open call for protectionism and mercantilism ; in free trade , he saw the cause of a decline of the German economy. Other focal points of his contributions were the new federal states. He always emphasized that he had been an oppositionist in the GDR , but also often pointed out that not everything was bad there. He currently saw the new federal states as victims of West Germans and international corporations; in particular , he criticized the Treuhandanstalt heavily. He was also noticed because he always spoke of " Central Germany ". The third major topic of his activity was his own party, which he defended from what he believed to be unjustified attacks from the media and other parties. In the Bundestag he made controversial contributions in debates about right-wing extremist crime, which he did not mention at all in his speech, or about the punishability of Holocaust denial , which he compared with the restriction of freedom of speech in dictatorships. Finally, he continued his commitment against the impunity of abortions , which he already knew from his time with the CDU . He received no support from any political group for his contributions.
Unlike Franz Handlos and Ekkehard Voigt , who had sat for the Republicans in the Bundestag in the 1980s, Krause was often exposed to critical, sometimes insulting, interjections.
