Karin Wilke (born April 13, 1953 in Berlin ) is a German graphic designer and politician ( AfD ). From 2015 to September 2019, she sat for her party in the Saxon state parliament .

Life

Wilke attended a commercial college specializing in graphic design . She then worked as a graphic designer at ZDF until 1982 . From 1982 to 1991 she headed the graphic design and set design department at Radio Bremen . In 1991 she founded a design and advertising agency in Dresden . Wilke has a son.

Political commitment

Wilke was a founding member of the Federal Association, the Saxon State Association and the Dresden District Association of Alternative for Germany . She heads the communication and public relations working group in the local district association.

In the state elections in Saxony she was a direct candidate in constituency 45 (Dresden 5). After Stefan Dreher's resignation, she moved to the state parliament on September 1, 2015. Since then she has been a member of the Petitions Committee and the Committee on School and Sport. Arvid Samtleben filed a lawsuit against her move up because, in his opinion, he was illegally deleted from Wilkes' place on the list of candidates and should have moved up in her place. Because of the same incident, the public prosecutor's office had initiated an investigation against the party leader at the time, Frauke Petry. Both procedures have not yet been completed.

In a debate requested by her party in the state parliament, she spoke out against the Network Enforcement Act, which she fears a restriction of freedom of expression and which she described as a “disgrace to legal culture”. As the cultural-political spokeswoman for her parliamentary group, she criticized the art installation Monument on Dresden's Neumarkt in 2017 : "Apparently, they deliberately want to dup the people of Dresden in order to bring the Pegida movement to the barricades." Application requesting that foreign children with no prospect of staying can be taught separately from other children "at the level of their home countries, that is, if possible, in their native language". The other parliamentary groups rejected this, referring to the guaranteed equal opportunities for all children in the Basic Law. The sharpest criticism came from the parliamentary group of the Greens: With the motion, the AfD reveals “an ideology in which people are singled out according to their usefulness [sic!] For the German people” and “ethnic racism”. Elsewhere, Wilke demanded that art must be freed “from the suffering of left indoctrination”.

As the school policy spokeswoman for her parliamentary group, Wilke addressed crime in Saxon schools, in her view a "224%" increase in the number of acts, including "dangerous bodily harm, extortion, theft and even sexual abuse" at primary schools in Dresden. In the reporting on this, Wilke was accused of manipulating the data, since the rate of increase was only due to the deletion of older criminal offenses from the database and most of the offenses she mentioned were at the school, but outside of school hours only near the building took place. She also asked the Ministry of Education about numbers on schools and participants in the Fridays for Future, with Wilke criticizing participation as truancy. No information could be given because the figures were not collected and reference was made to the self-organization of the schools and the pupils' right to demonstrate. In connection with her criticism, Wilke stated that there is no human contribution to climate change , but that the children are "brainwashed". In addition, she speaks out against political education in schools because she fears "political brainwashing of our children".

In May 2019, she tabled an unsuccessful draft law calling for the abolition of public service media by banning state subsidies for all media.

For the state elections in Saxony in 2019, she ran as a direct candidate in Dresden constituency 41 and on the - unapproved - list position 37 on the state list. When drawing up the program, she spoke out - contrary to the decision ultimately taken - against lowering the hurdles for bills introduced by the people, as these could also be directed against the policies of the AfD. Wilke did not succeed in re-entering the state parliament of Saxony after the state elections in Saxony in 2019 .
