Positions

Arms deliveries to the PKK

On the subject of "arms deliveries to Kurds" (so that they can defend themselves against advancing ISIS troops), Peter said, "We have always said: We must not support arms deliveries to crisis areas, we will continue to do so." Cem Özdemir argued against this , also Green chairman, for arms deliveries to Kurds.

Commemoration ceremony on the Westerplatte 2014

On September 2, 2014, Peter accused Federal President Joachim Gauck of undiplomatic verbal escalation. At the central commemoration event on the Westerplatte near Gdansk on the occasion of the beginning of the attack on Poland and the Second World War 75 years ago the day before, he criticized Russia, among other things with the sentence “Only peoples who live in peace with their neighbors are independent and respect the self-determination of others ”.

Police operation on New Year's Eve 2016 in Cologne

Shortly after the large-scale preventive deployment of the Cologne police on New Year's Eve 2016/17 due to the sexual assault on New Year's Eve a year earlier , Peter said that the high police presence had significantly limited the attacks. However, according to Peter, "the question of proportionality and legality arises when a total of almost 1,000 people were checked based on their appearance and some of them were arrested". In addition, Peter called the name Nafri used by the Cologne police in a tweet "completely unacceptable" and a disparaging group name.

In press comments, from government and opposition politicians as well as his own party, Peter's criticism was rejected. Among other things, the co-party leader Cem Özdemir and the chairman of the Green parliamentary group Katrin Göring-Eckardt distanced themselves from Peter, as did Boris Palmer . Peter himself then said that she had to admit that "the facts on Sunday were even thinner than after the police statement on Monday," and thanked the police.
