Dagmar Woehrl, the Chairman of the visting German parliamentary delegation
Speaking of the January 5 election, Dagmar Woehrl, the Chairman of the delegation, appraised the speaker of the Bundestag concerns that the current parliament might not enjoy sufficient acceptance by the people for going the full five years distance.
She said: “The members of the visiting delegation hoped that signals would soon come out of Bangladesh for the beginning of substantial dialogue between major political forces.”
During the meeting, Woehrl told Sharmin that Bangladeshi parliamentarians will take clear initiatives to amend the existing labour laws and to improve the social security standards of the workers to fully meet ILO standards so that similar preventable incidents like Rana Plaza tragedy can be avoided in the future.
On Sunday, the delegation observed the working conditions in factories after paying visit to some of them.

Does the leader of German delegation know we have invented a new kind of democracy, unique in all respect, where people’s will/vote doesn’t matter? Here democracy is ‘of the party(or person), for the party and by the party’. The Germans banned Hitler and his Nazi party but we have grown to like him and his party. Did he not bring Germany to the limelight on the world stage as a world power just within a period of ten years? Wasn’t it tremendous development? What matters if there were no ‘democracy’ as the westerners define? Of course we have been able to adulterate everything and so has been democracy. Anyone can well see that democracy is not so liked by even the two major parties who cry hoarse for ‘democracy’. So we may have to pity Ms Dagmar Woerhl.
