Florian Warweg

Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)

Florian Warweg asked the government spokesman whether the Chancellor had made new commitments amounting to billions for cooperation with the Ukrainian government in clarifying the attack on Nord Stream during his last meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. To justify this, he pointed out that the federal prosecutor's office assumes a state Ukrainian involvement. Warweg then asked his readers how the response had turned out. #Ukraine #NordStream #Politik (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the Green leadership, with Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak, would present their guiding proposal "Our Plan for Germany" at the federal press conference today at 11 a.m. He asked what an opposition party with about 15 percent planned for the republic, which he sees as troubled, and what they hoped to achieve from it. He also questioned whether Brantner and Banaszak remembered that the Greens had been involved in the previous government until May 2025. Warweg invited his readers to submit questions. #Deutschland #Politik #DieGruenen (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that he asked at the Federal Press Conference about the alleged espionage of former BND chief Hanning for a foreign intelligence service. When asked whether the federal government knew for whom Hanning had spied, the government spokesperson replied no. According to Warweg, the spokesperson did not confirm a comprehensive exclusion of Israel and Azerbaijan, but stated: "I cannot and will not exclude anything." #Spionage #Bundesregierung #Sicherheit (translated)

Florian Warweg accused the federal government of behaving without empathy and cynically. He wrote that the spokesperson of the Foreign Office had stated in response to his inquiry about an outstanding delivery due to a deduction of 200 euros for German retirees in Russia that the office was not responsible and owed nothing. Warweg attributed the deduction to an EU directive. https://t.co/tDvwLtvhhQ #Bundesregierung #Rentner #EU (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that Chancellor Merz spoke about the AfD and its Russian backers in his NATO speech the week before. Warweg stated that he had asked the government spokesperson at the Federal Press Conference on what specific findings Merz based his statement. In response, he was told that the Chancellor's words spoke for themselves and Merz does not say things lightly. #Bundeskanzler #Nato #AfD (translated)

Florian Warweg summarized today's federal press conference. He wrote that he had asked, among other things, for concrete evidence of Friedrich Merz's claim that Russian backers stand behind the AfD. He also wanted to know whether Merz had addressed Nord Stream in Kyiv and what the future of German gold reserves in the USA looks like. https://t.co/8RyDNPV03k #BPK #NATO #AfD (translated)

Florian Warweg characterized Sigmar Gabriel as the head of the Atlantik-Brücke and a member of the supervisory board of Rheinmetall, which he presented as one of the central beneficiaries of the Ukraine war. Gabriel defended the Ukraine policy of Merz and additional billion-dollar payments to Kyiv. #Ukraine #Rüstungsindustrie #Lobbyismus (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the Center for Political Beauty, which he described as being close to the Greens and which describes itself as the "storm gun of humanism," has publicly called for sending him compromising information about John Lucas, the BSW state chairman in Saxony-Anhalt. In conclusion, Warweg pointed out that the group can be recognized by its actions. #Humanismus #Politik #Transparenz (translated)

Florian Warweg referred to an exclusive article that explored the question of why German retirees in Russia have been having 200 euros deducted from their monthly payments since 2026, even though they are still alive. The article includes statements from an affected individual, legal background information, explanations from the banks, as well as a submission from the federal government that Warweg described as questionable and cynical. https://t.co/mInI7E1sPP #Deutschland #Rente #Finanzen (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that since 2026, German retirees living in Russia would have 200 euros deducted monthly from their statutory pension. The responsible bank justified this with EU money laundering controls, he reported. He asked the Foreign Office if it was aware of this, what advice it had for those affected, and on what legal basis payments from the German pension insurance to German retirees in Russia were subjected to such controls. #Rente #Russland #Geldwäsche (translated)

Today the "Westphalian Peace Prize" will be awarded to the (🥁) @NATO. Reason: The #NATO would "perform continuous peace work." Now guess who is on the jury 🫣: 1. @bundeskanzler #Merz, 2. @sigmargabriel (Chairman @atlantikbruecke), 3. Federal President Steinmeier, 4. @cem_oezdemir, 5. Alexander Graf Lambsdorff (Ambassador in Israel), 6. NRW-MP Hendrik Wüst, 7. Georg Friedrich Prince of Prussia et al. PS: The "International Prize of the Westphalian Peace" probably deserves an award itself: For the most biased jury ever... #Frieden #NATO #Politik (translated)

According to the Russian representation, it was the German side that did not want to allow press questions and audio recordings at the meeting #Wadephul-Lawrow. I asked @AuswaertigesAmt for confirmation. I also wanted to know when evidence of Russia's role in the Leipzig drone incident would be presented. The responses: First a denial, then a relativization of the denial and, surprise, surprise, there would be no new evidence... (however, there have also been no "old" ones so far...). #Politik #Außenpolitik #Deutschland (translated)

Ich wollte vom Sprecher @AuswaertigesAmt wissen, ob die Aussage von @JoWadephul aus dem Jahr 2025 "Russland wird immer ein Feind für uns bleiben" noch gilt & ob er mit dieser Einstellung in das Gespräch mit seinem 🇷🇺Amtskollegen Lawrow gegangen ist. Die Antwort des AA, nun ja... https://t.co/iHO4RdCnmd #Russland #Außenpolitik #InternationaleBeziehungen

Mein heutiges #BPK-Resümee: @AuswaertigesAmt verheddert sich in Widersprüche zum Lawrow-Treffen, 🇩🇪Rentnern in 🇷🇺 werden monatlich 200 Euro von ihrer Rente abgezogen & Bundesregierung weiß angeblich von nichts + Happy End (?) mit Amthors #StrandkorbGate🥳 https://t.co/VcnPCUziD8 #Politik #Deutschland #Russland

+++ Breaking News +++ aus der #BPK: 🥳 @philipp__amthor, seines Zeichens Staatsminister für Bund-Länder-Angelegenheiten im Kanzleramt, nimmt die Kritik an seinem Auftritt bei #InsideCDU ernst, und lässt den Strandkorb jetzt « in seine Heimat Usedom  » zurückschicken! Also, wenn @cdu jetzt nicht um mindestens 10% hochschnellt, weiß ich auch nicht…😉 #Politik #CDU #Bundesregierung

Vor dem Hintergrund des Treffens von @AussenMinDE #Wadephul mit Lawrow sollte man sich nochmal die Aussage von @JoWadephul von 2025 in Erinnerung rufen: „Wie auch immer der Krieg mit Russland ausgehen wird, Russland wird für uns immer ein Feind sein.“ https://t.co/GBavIYplsu D.h. wir haben einen Außenminister, der Russland als eine Art "Erzfeind" und den Krieg in der Ukraine aus seiner Perspektive als @CDU-Politiker als "Krieg mit Russland" bezeichnet. Hintergrund zur damaligen Aussage: Wadephul tätigte die Aussage im Januar 2025, im Glauben mit dem damaligen Leiter des Präsidialamtes der Ukraine, Andrij Jermak, zu sprechen. Tatsächlich war er auf die zwei russischen Prankster "Vovan und Lexus" hereingefallen. Sein Büro bestätigte Anruf wie Inhalt. #Russland #Außenpolitik #Ukraine

27 Mio. Euro investierte die #Bundesregierung 2025 in Eigenwerbung. Auffallend: Auf den PR-Bühnen der Ministerien moderieren auffallend häufig ÖRR-Journalisten. Doch die Honorarhöhe will man auf Nachfrage des Bundestags lieber verschweigen. Mein Artikel: https://t.co/XGZGhsZq6S #Bundesregierung #PR #ÖRR

Eine "Guerilla-Einheit" im @BMVg_Bundeswehr wickelt innerhalb von Wochen Rüstungsdeals in Milliardenhöhe für die #Ukraine ab. Ich wollte wissen, was für Kontrollverfahren in diesem Fall greifen. Geantwortet wurde mir mit Verweis auf „absolute Spezialisten“, "hochdynamischen Prozessen" & "tiefe Fähigkeit"... #Bundeswehr #Rüstungsdeals #Kontrolle
