The last punks of the former protest camp on Sylt voluntarily cleared their camp on Wednesday morning. It has now been revealed that they previously had a high-ranking visitor.
During his vacation on Sylt, CDU politician Wolfgang Schäuble offered the punks camping there help with finding a job. A man from the tent camp in front of the town hall in Westerland wrote to him at the time, Schäuble told the “Tagesspiegel” (Sunday). “They wanted to know if I was willing to have a conversation with them.” Schäuble, who turns 80 on Sunday, said he called the man to set up a meeting. “He didn’t expect that.”
“They set a table for me with coffee, milk, water and apple juice. We then had a heated debate for an hour and a half,” reported the former Federal Minister and President of the Bundestag, who originally comes from Freiburg. The main discussion was that Sylt does not only belong to the rich. “They didn’t want to pay the visitor’s tax, so I didn’t agree with them,” Schäuble told the newspaper. “I told them if they had money problems I might be able to get you a temp job.” However, the response to the offer was low.
Sylt is considered the island of the rich. Dozens of punks set off for the North Sea island with the 9-euro ticket and stayed there for weeks.
