00:00 After the Hamas terror, the Basel government president Bidjans is glowing with silence.
00:04 Now there is even more criticism, he wants to politicize an event.
00:10 The Basel city government president and SP Federal Council adviser Bidjans was shot last
00:16 week, after the bloody terrorist attack of the Hamas, the Social Democrat is hiding in
00:22 silence for almost a week.
00:24 Only after six days he turns to the Jewish community, only a day later to the public.
00:31 In the city, which means the world to Jews, the silence of the Social Democrat is causing
00:37 plenty of criticism.
00:38 On Saturday, Bidjans explains his plan to deal with the Hamas terror to the Basler Zeitung
00:45 , he supports the proposal of an inter-religious meeting.
00:49 This idea comes from Father Lukas Kundert, extremism researcher Samuel Althoff and LDP
00:56 Grand Councilor Philipp Kager.
00:58 Tonight representatives of the three monotheistic religions will meet in the town hall.
01:04 Prayers for all victims are to be spoken there and prayers for peace.
01:08 The event is under the motto "Standing together - Respect, Attention and Trust".
01:15 Only 200 invited guests are allowed to participate, the security precautions are large.
01:22 Guests must identify themselves at the entrance, backpacks are not allowed.
01:26 The planning of the meeting did not go without controversy.
01:30 Some initiators were dissatisfied with Bidjans' public statements about the event.
01:37 They warned in advance that the Social Democrat would politicize the meeting, as the Basler
01:43 Zeitung reported.
01:44 So, co-initiator and political scientist Elhammeneyer Bidjans met again on Tuesday
01:50 morning in person.
01:53 She told the Social Democrat that he should not be allowed to politicize the occasion.
02:01 Jans distanced himself from the idea that he would use the event for his own purposes.
02:06 "I don't see the morning action as a liberation strike," he said.
02:11 "The meeting is much more of an opportunity to take a stand and support an initiative."
02:19 He also emphasized that the idea for the meeting mainly came from Althof and Kundat.
02:25 He only offered his support.
02:28 "Today he will appear as a host.
02:31 I was asked by the participants not to express myself politically.
02:35 Since foreign policy is a matter of the Federal Council, it was not an issue for me anyway,"
02:41 Jans said.
02:42 Jans also opposed the accusations regarding his silence against the Basler Zeitung.
02:49 "My silence last week has to do with the fact that I did not want to intervene with the Federal Council,"
02:54 he said.
02:55 He emphasized that he had been in dialogue with various religious communities throughout
03:00 the week.
