- On November 13, 1989, Erich Mielke, the Minister for State Security, who had just resigned from office, speaks before the GDR People's Chamber and answers critical questions from MPs about the extent of Stasi spying. His attempts at justification are met with loud laughter.
He is interrupted in a particularly striking way by an interjection from a CDU member of parliament. He asks Mielke to address not only the "comrades" but everyone present. He then utters the legendary words with which the politician is still remembered today:
"I do love everyone, all people... Well, I do love... I do stand up for it."

Meine Güte, wie drückt sich der Mann denn aus? Wie ein einfacher Arbeiter.
Er hätte definitiv umgehend auf die Anklagebank gehört
Wäre der Genosse Mielke nicht so grausam gewesen hätte Er mir zu dieser Zeit sogar leid getan!
😂😂😂😂😂...Ole man
Seine erste und auch letzte Rede vor der Volkskammer.
Haha, Sternstunden der Lächerlichkeit.
Ich kann mich noch sehr gut daran erinnern 😂
Erich Mielke!
