Ich muss vorausschicken, dass ich Hans Heiss f\u00fcr einen reflexions- und vernunftbegabten Menschen halte, dessen Ansichten ich nicht selten teile und dessen besonnene Art im von selbstdarstellerischen Egomanen verseuchten Politzirkus eine Wohltat ist.<\/p>\n
Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass ein solcher Mensch, wenn es um das Thema Selbstbestimmung geht, grundlegende ideologischen Prinzipien der gr\u00fcnen Bewegung \u00fcber Bord wirft, seinen geistigen Horizont bei Salurn und am Brenner mit einem meterhohen Stacheldrahtzaun begrenzt und bisweilen Wortspenden von sich gibt, die mehr an Faschosprech oder turbokapitalistische Konservative aus der Londoner City erinnern, als an einen Vertreter der Gr\u00fcnen.<\/p>\n
Bereits anl\u00e4sslich des Selbstbestimmungsreferendums<\/a> in Schottland stellte sich Heiss – anders als andere Gr\u00fcne in Europa und dar\u00fcber hinaus (#GreenYesSupport Ich w\u00fcrde f\u00fcr ein klares \u201cno\u2019 stimmen. Ich glaube, es ist jetzt attraktiv auf diese Welle von Schottlandbegeisterungen aufzuspringen, aber langfristig sind die Vorz\u00fcge einer Vereinigung zwischen Schottland und England gr\u00f6\u00dfer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Die Vereinigung mit England hat den Schotten bekanntlich den Ausstieg aus der EU beschert, den sie mehrheitlich nicht wollen. Mehr noch: Der Verbleib in der EU war beim Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitsreferendum ein Argument der No-Campaign, die die Angst vor einem EU-Rauswurf im Falle der schottischen Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit sch\u00fcrte.<\/p>\n Man k\u00f6nnte jetzt meinen, dass Heiss ob obiger kolossaler Fehleinsch\u00e4tzung die Lehren gezogen hat und das Thema Selbstbestimmung mittlerweile etwas differenzierter, um nicht zu sagen “gr\u00fcner” sieht. Aber weit gefehlt. Der Historiker bringt es tats\u00e4chlich zuwege, noch einen draufzusetzen. Laut Unsertirol24<\/a><\/em> meinte Heiss unl\u00e4ngst bei einer Podiumsdiskussion in Prad:<\/p>\n Die doppelte Staatsb\u00fcrgerschaft ist nicht notwendig. Der Schutz der S\u00fcdtiroler ist auch so gew\u00e4hrleistet. Zudem f\u00e4nde sich in \u00d6sterreich keine Mehrheit dazu. Die zwei gro\u00dfen Sprachgruppen in S\u00fcdtirol stehen sich immer noch mit Misstrauen gegen\u00fcber. Mit der doppelten Staatsb\u00fcrgerschaft w\u00fcrde dies weiter verst\u00e4rkt. Sie ist ein weiterer Schritt zur Abtrennung von Italien, und die Selbstbestimmung ist dann der n\u00e4chste Schritt. Deshalb ist sie nicht erstrebenswert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ungeachtet seiner Position zur Doppelstaatsb\u00fcrgerschaft, die man teilen kann oder auch nicht, r\u00fcckt Heiss das urlinke Prinzip der Selbstbestimmung mit dieser Aussage in die N\u00e4he von etwas Verruchtem, etwas B\u00f6sem, etwas Gef\u00e4hrlichem. Er geht sogar soweit, dass Vorschl\u00e4ge deshalb<\/span> abgelehnt werden sollten, weil sie einer demokratischen Selbstbestimmung in S\u00fcdtirol f\u00f6rderlich sein k\u00f6nnten.<\/p>\n Ein derart \u00fcberzogener Panikreflex angesichts eines basisdemokratischen Instruments ist f\u00fcr einen gr\u00fcnen Politiker fast schon pathologisch, zumindest jedoch ein befremdliches S\u00fcdtiroler Spezifikum, wenn man sich erinnert, dass Heiss im Verein mit seinen gr\u00fcnen Landtagskollegen es sogar geschafft hat, sich prinzipiell<\/span> gegen den in den Menschenrechten verankerten Selbstbestimmungsgrundsatz<\/a> zu stellen.<\/p>\n Wer hingegen im Gegensatz zu den S\u00fcdtiroler Gr\u00fcnen den Blick \u00fcber den Tellerrand wagt und anstatt sich in nationalstaatlicher Selbstgef\u00e4lligkeit einzuzigeln, die Aussagen und Stellungnahmen anderer Gr\u00fcner zum Prinzip der Selbstbestimmung zu Gem\u00fcte f\u00fchrt, erkennt recht schnell, dass es sich hier wieder einmal um eine S\u00fcdtiroler Anomalie handelt:<\/p>\n Our support for a “yes” vote isn’t just a matter of passively following the lead of the Scottish Green Party, nor is it even just our no-comprise respect for the principle of self-determination, the right of peoples to decide their own future.<\/p>\n Natalie Bennett (Vorsitzende der Green Party of England and Wales)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Greens defend radical democracy and in Catalonia there is a citizen demand in favour of a [self-determination] referendum.

The task of global institutions should be to enable countries to make their own progress, and not prescribe the methods by which they may do so.<\/p>\n The Green Party UK, Grundsatzprogramm<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Both the capitalist and state-socialist form of concentration and monopolization of economic power yield destructive forms of economic growth which contaminate and destroy the very basis of human and natural life. Only by self-determination at the grassroots, the ecological, social and economic crises can be appropriately dealt with. Since we favor self-determination and the free development of every human being, and since we support the idea that people should be able to creatively determine their own needs and wishes free from outside pressure and in harmony with the natural environment, we strongly support human and democratic rights, in our country as well as abroad. […] Grass roots democracy call for active and decentralized direct democracy. Our fundamental belief is that decisions taken at the grassroots must be given priority. The local level is smaller and more easily accountable to the people and therefore must be given maximum autonomy and self-determination.<\/p>\n Auszug aus “Das gr\u00fcne Manifest”, Gr\u00fcndungsdokument der deutschen Gr\u00fcnen von 1980<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung sind zentrale Anliegen GR\u00dcNER Politik.<\/p>\n Landesdelegiertenkonferenz Gr\u00fcne NRW<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung geh\u00f6ren f\u00fcr uns B\u00fcndnisgr\u00fcne untrennbar zusammen.
