German politician Hans-Jochen Vogel died today in München at the age of 94. He has been chairman of Germany's Social Democrat Party (SPD), chairman of München, justice minister, chief of the SPD parliamentary group, the candidate for the Berlin mayor. Hans-Jochen Vogel was a moral example of German society and enjoyed respect even from political opponents.
Vogel belonged to the generation of German politicians from an early age to witness World War II. Vogel grew up and politicised with the conviction that Germany should never participate in any war. He said that where the German soldier stepped into the second war you must no longer tread.
However, he supported NATO's intervention in Kosovo's liberation.
In an interview for “Süddeutsche Zeitung” Hans-Jochen Vogel said: “With the case of intervention in Kosovo in the end, however, has convinced me the argument that even without the United Nations mandate it should not tolerate mass expulsions and murders, much more so when they occur in the near neighbourhood. This has not been easy for me, but there is also the Christian need to help”.
A German journalist in a memorial writes: he did not need the agenda, he was the very order of the day, correct, fantastic organizer, with days and weeks planned and structured. A synonymous with German bureaucracy in the most positive sense. A servant of state and country.
