Erich Mielke of the Ministry for State Security is openly questioned during his last speech to the GDR People's Chamber. The MPs demand answers about the extent of spying by the Stasi and react with hilarity to the minister's justification that he always acted in the interests of the working people. When Erich Mielke is criticised for speaking only of "comrades", the legendary words are uttered with which the politician is still remembered today. "I love... I love everyone, all people... Well, I love... I'm committed to it."
