Kolja Barghoorn criticized that the ZDF and a journalists' association had complained about Siegmund's reaction to a representative of the "heute-show." At the same time, he asked why they did not complain about Jan Böhmermann, who, according to his account, had reenacted Siegmund's murder in a show. Barghoorn dismissed the complaints in a mocking tone. #ZDF #Heuteshow #Böhmermann (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn ironically referred to the energy transition as a "masterpiece" and stated that instead of the promised cheap electricity, electricity prices are 16.4 percent higher than in 2021. He also pointed to billions in costs for grid bottlenecks and reserve power plants, battery storage that only lasts two hours at full capacity, and hydrogen, which has been considered a future technology for years. Barghoorn also criticized a new market created by the state, in which power plant operators would be paid for 15 years to provide electricity in case of outages from wind and solar power. He cited Blackout News as the source for the mentioned data. #Energiewende #Strompreise #Energiepolitik (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn claimed that Red-Red-Green wants to completely dismantle the Union in order to gain a majority in the federal elections in 2029 and subsequently eliminate the AfD quickly. This is the real plan of Klingbeil, Bas, and other participants, he wrote. #Bundestagswahl #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that a lawyer apparently does not know the correct term "penal prohibition declaration" and instead used "penal proven." The latter means linguistically that a punishment has proven itself, Barghoorn explained. https://t.co/yP1XSLlOU2 #Recht #Juristen #Sprache (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that Mrs. Seidlitz did not want to face his critical questions about Hermann Göring. He suspected that the confrontation would have been embarrassing for her, and compared this to his assessment that they considered themselves intellectually superior to him. https://t.co/z8GuKNHZnj #Humor #Gespräch #Kritik (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote ironically that one could declare a Corona emergency again, although in his view there is no longer any Corona, and maintain what he described as the unlawful opening of the borders. As another option, he mentioned choosing an alternative, but added mockingly that one should rather not do that because it uses false letterheads. #Corona #Gesundheit #Gesellschaft (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn painted a confrontation between SPD Interior Minister Georg Maier and Baumann. Maier initially accused the AfD of authoritarian thinking. Baumann replied that Maier did not understand the world, as he stood at 6 percent in Thuringia. Maier then asked if that meant he had to keep his mouth shut and repeated his accusation. Later, he again suggested that Baumann was trying to silence him. Barghoorn described Maier's argumentation as a straw man: Maier had made a false claim and then argued against it. Barghoorn also wrote that he was not surprised that nothing was working in Thuringia anymore, and that those addressed and their embarrassing domestic intelligence reports were no longer taken seriously. #Thüringen #Politik #AfD (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that he laughed a lot this week because, according to him, the AfD has achieved great successes and his friends have won numerous lawsuits. He was particularly amused that Thuringia's Interior Minister criticized the use of AI by the AfD, while specifically highlighting the Minister's origin from Thuringia. #Thüringen #AfD #Politik (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that Friedrich Merz wanted to confront Manuela Schwesig because of her sharp attacks on him during the election campaign. He accused her of having "destroyed the democratic center." Schwesig left him standing and said that if he wanted something from her, he should make an appointment. https://t.co/xTFflgblnH #Politik #Wahlkampf #Demokratie (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn criticized that the BMW chief accused the AfD of isolationism. He asked who is increasingly isolating Germany internationally and wrote that relations with Donald Trump would be damaged. Barghoorn stated that the EU has nothing to offer China except for tariffs. https://t.co/mOzgdYM1GU #BMW #Politik #Isolationismus (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that he had reviewed the 102-page bill from the federal government on the "Law Against Digital Violence." In his assessment, the draft could enable courts to order the disclosure of names, addresses, phone numbers, and IP data for certain punishable statements without prior criminal conviction. According to Barghoorn, in the case of a serious violation of personal rights and an existing risk of repetition, an entire account could be temporarily suspended. Platforms should also prevent suspended users from opening new accounts; phone numbers and email addresses could be used for recognition. The draft also includes larger closed messenger groups without specifying a specific minimum number of members. According to Barghoorn, user data could already be secured legally before a final decision on their disclosure is made and transmitted to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the refusal to provide a demanded penalty-bearing cease-and-desist declaration could also serve as an indicator for a possible account suspension. He acknowledged that the draft includes judicial reservations and further prerequisites. At the same time, he asked what could happen if the instruments were specifically used against uncomfortable critics to lift their anonymity and limit their reach. A democracy must also be able to withstand sharp, uncomfortable, and anonymous criticism, he wrote. #Digitalrechte #Meinungsfreiheit #Datenschutz (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that Klöckner considers Tobias Rausch's dual role to be entirely inappropriate. However, he pointed out that what is crucial is who holds a position and how it is exercised. Klöckner should quickly reflect critically on himself in this context. Additionally, Barghoorn asked what is going on with Voigt and Schulze. https://t.co/qJrCy12b3e #Politik #Debatte #Gesellschaft (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that Collien Fernandes had been legally reprimanded by her 14-year-old daughter. As evidence, he cited a statement in which Fernandes had made a criminally binding cease-and-desist declaration to the client on October 1, 2026. By that, she committed herself not to publicly disclose certain private matters concerning her daughter again. Barghoorn commented on the incident with an ironic reference to the title "expert in digital violence." #digitaleGewalt #Privatsphäre #Recht (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn asked why the unnamed woman did not criticize her party colleague Voigt, who still wanted to remain Prime Minister despite losing his doctorate. Instead, she should focus on her own party, where there was plenty to do, he wrote. #Politik #Parteikollegen #Doktortitel (translated)
