Bernhard Ulrich Oehme (born February 17, 1960 in Bischofswerda ) is a German insurance broker and politician ( AfD ). He sits in the 19th Bundestag .

Career

After graduating from high school in 1978, Oehme did military service until 1981 and then studied at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg . He holds a degree in metallurgy and materials technology. He has been working as an independent insurance broker since 1990 and was active as such from 1994 to 1997 in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Oehme is Roman Catholic, married and has two children.

politics

Oehme was a member of the right-wing populist and Islamophobic party Die Freiheit and joined it when the AfD was founded (2013). Since 2015 he has been a member of the federal board of Christians in the AfD (ChrAfD). From 2016 to 2017 he was also a member of the state board of the AfD Saxony .

In the 2017 federal election , he won a Bundestag mandate for the AfD. Oehme is a co-signer of the " Erfurt Resolution " initiated by Björn Höcke and André Poggenburg in 2015 and is therefore counted as part of the right-wing nationalist association Der Flügel in the AfD. In the Bundestag election campaign, he had posters with the banned slogan of the SA (“Everything for Germany”) up. He subsequently stated that the prohibition of the saying was unknown to him and had the sentence pasted over, but found its content to be correct. That is why the weekly newspaper Die Zeit classifies it as “ultra-right”. The police in Chemnitz initiated ex officio investigations into the use of symbols by unconstitutional organizations against Oehme.

In his candidacy, he had indicated that he wanted to campaign for grassroots and school sports, more investments in infrastructure and “nationwide fast internet connections” for Saxony. He spoke out in favor of stopping immigration immediately, not allowing family reunification for refugees and deporting rejected asylum seekers. He could not imagine a coalition of the AfD with other parties in the Bundestag.

Oehme is a member of the Committee for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) as well as a deputy member of the Committee for Health (BMG) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe .

Despite a travel warning of the Foreign Office without AFD-order and only with a Kurdish by the regional government, which has no power to Iraqi legal system for issuing visas, issued visa traveled Oehme in March 2018 the north of Iraq and sought as a member of the Development Committee Contact to German aid organizations. He had announced the trip to the association “Heimattreue Niederdorf”; This association, which was partly observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, stated that Oehme wanted to examine repatriation options for refugees. He traveled to Northern Iraq with a group around the controversial Syrian Orthodox nun Hatune Dogan , who claims to support Christians and other minorities persecuted in the Middle East, but is not recognized as a representative of the Syrian Orthodox Church. He met the spiritual leader of the Yazidis and visited the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) , which operates there . He stated that Yazidis and Christians cannot return to their hometowns destroyed by bombings and mines.

Controversy

Krimannexion: Financed by the Russian parliament

In March 2018, Oehme also traveled as an unofficial "election observer" to Crimea , which has been annexed by Russia and belongs to Ukraine under international law . This brought him the accusation of having legitimized an illegal vote. The ARD magazine "kontraste" reported in 2020 that the trip was financed by the Duma , the Russian parliament.
