Waldemar Hartmann

Waldemar Hartmann reported that Gordon Schnieder (CDU), the Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate, was a guest on the ARD program "Report from Berlin" after a meeting of his party's executive board. Hartmann had hoped for new insights but, in his assessment, heard the same statements as for months: People need to be taken along and their concerns taken seriously. In addition, Schnieder ruled out collaboration with the AfD. Hartmann criticized that the CDU had understood nothing and predicted it would soon be in single digits. The "death knell" is already ringing, he wrote. #CDU #RheinlandPfalz #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann announced that he will be at NIUS on Monday. He is especially looking forward to Harald Martenstein in the show "Sofa der Mehrheit." The focus of the discussion will be the presidency meeting of the CDU and their handling of the AfD. According to Hartmann, the election results in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern caused disputes within the Union. Furthermore, he has found another "Goal of the Week" and invited his viewers to the show. #Montag #CDU #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann announced a new edition of "Zwei Helle" on NIUS's YouTube channel. It was to address the question of whether Berlin would become a "socialist people's republic," the future of the CDU as a popular party, and a possible SPD leadership claim by Boris Pistorius. The show with Hartmann and Schupelius was recorded at the Augustiner at Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin. #Berlin #Politik #YouTube (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann recalled that Anette Schavan and Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg had resigned from their positions in the CDU in earlier times after their doctoral titles had been revoked. Nowadays, character and morals have been lost, he wrote. Mario Voigt is not acceptable, but it seems this does not concern anyone in the CDU. #CDU #Moral #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann criticized the reactions to the election of Tobias Rausch as the president of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. The federal SPD demonstrated with Boris Pistorius, whom Hartmann referred to as the "war minister," at Bebel-Platz and sang the national anthem. The CDU is looking for "undercover agents" within its own ranks, while NGOs warned and threatened with actions, he wrote. Hartmann saw the actual political scandal in Berlin: SPD and Greens continue to talk with Die Linke about a common political future. He mentioned antisemitism, similarities with criminal clans, and connections to terrorist organizations. The federal SPD points to the responsibility of the state association, while the Greens remained duplicitous, Hartmann wrote. Their position contradicts the importance that the green-left milieu otherwise attributes to the issue of stance. #Demokratie #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Tobias Rausch from the AfD was elected as the president of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt with 48 votes. In addition to the votes from the AfD and the previously announced support from the BSW, Rausch received four more votes from other parties. Hartmann asked whether this gives Uli Siegmund such optimism that he will be elected as prime minister in December. Among the CDU, the mistrust towards the faction has now become a regular occurrence. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that two German researchers had received the Nobel Prize for Medicine, but criticized the fact that there had been no special ARD broadcast and no corresponding programs in public broadcasting. He asked when the prize winners would be invited to talk shows and received by the Chancellor or when the Federal President would award them with a medal. Their names were hardly known, and education had no importance in Germany, Hartmann judged. #Medizinnobelpreis #Bildung #Deutschland (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that, according to the Ifo Institute, the German automotive industry is still in crisis. The mood has never been this bad this year, while the outlook remains at a low level. Furthermore, the industry association VDMA reported a real decline in order intake in the machinery and plant engineering sector of five percent compared to the previous year. Hartmann criticized that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is transferring 1.3 billion euros to Ukraine from the current budget to secure energy supply in winter and to finance current investments. According to Hartmann, Merz has lost all sense of Germany's needs. #Automobilindustrie #Deutschland #Wirtschaft (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that a former Turkish president contradicted the statement of North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst, who claimed that Turkish guest workers built Germany after the war. Hartmann referred to Wüst as "fool of the week." https://t.co/D0Mo1eeAD5 #Lügen #Politik #Türkei (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann announced that the next day he would be sitting with Alexander Kissler, Ralf Schuler, and Julian Reichelt on the "Sofa of the Majority" at NIUS LIVE. Since the three, to his knowledge, did not know how to play Schafkopf, a Bavarian card game, the round would instead discuss politics. Hartmann mentioned topics like Merz in Ukraine and the proceedings of the Day of German Unity in Bremen. To conclude, he wanted to present his "Goal of the Week." #Politik #Diskussion #SofaZeit (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is regularly booed and whistled at during his appearances in Germany and is by far the most unpopular chancellor of a federal government. Hartmann cited reasons such as Merz accusing German workers of not working enough, not keeping his promises, and allowing the cost of living to rise. However, during his reception in Kyiv in the morning, Merz was cheered warmly, Hartmann wrote. He had promised Ukraine additional financial and military aid worth billions. According to Hartmann, German taxpayers are by far the largest supporters of Ukraine – because that is what Merz wants. #Bundeskanzler #FriedrichMerz #Deutschland (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Franz-Josef Strauß had died on October 3, 1988, when Germany was still divided. Strauß had long foreseen the collapse of the socialist system. Hartmann added that the generations of politicians in reunited Germany had set in motion developments that, in Strauß's view, would have turned him over in his grave. #Deutschland #Geschichte #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that the directly elected Bundestag member from his constituency, Sören Pellmann from Die Linke, had joined the left-wing extremist association Rote Hilfe. He pointed out that the Berlin top candidate Elif Eralp had also been a member and had therefore found herself in a difficult position. Hartmann asked what message Pellmann wanted to signal with this step and explained that Die Linke had nothing in mind with its democratic concept of the rule of law. Furthermore, he asked who votes for the party and who forms coalitions with it. #DieLinke #Bundestagswahl #Rechtsstaat (translated)

Our second show "Two Brights" on NIUS is coming up. Starting Friday noon, Gunnar Schupelius and I will discuss, among other things, the term "vulgar democrats," with which Frank-Walter the divider, Federal President Steinmeier, has once again demonstrated his democratic deficit. And we will evaluate the campaign trip of Hendrik Wüst to Turkey, to win Turks in NRW for the CDU. With all our tax money. We look forward to seeing you. #Politik #Demokratie #NRW (translated)

The CDU ministers have a knack for selecting their salary showmen. Sven Schulze brings in Didi Hallervorden and Wüst a comedian who makes bad jokes about colleagues Merz and Söder. All of this in Istanbul and in the current CDU discussion about a chancellor swap. #CDU #Comedy #Politik (translated)

Once again, a traditional brewery is closing. In my time as a pub owner (photo from 1978), there was still the saying: A country that cannot support its innkeepers is not worthy of being called a nation. Times gone by. https://t.co/8ua0SEpHWP #Traditionsbrauerei #Kultur #Bier (translated)

Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner beklagt eine wachsende Polarisierung im Bundestag, Sie macht dafür die Abgeordneten der Linkspartei und der AfD verantwortlich. Sie droht sogar in einem Podcast bei Funke Medien damit,“Wenn es eskaliert,schmeiße ich die ganze Fraktion raus.“ Ich glaube , dass Frau Klöckner durch Ihre herrische Amtsführung erheblich zu dieser Eskalation beiträgt. #Politik #Bundestag #Eskalation

Der ÖRR auf der Anklagebank. Der Strafprozess gegen die ehemalige Intendantin des rbb beginnt im November. Patricia Schlesinger hat sich demnach jahrelang ein süßes Leben mit dem Griff in die Anstaltskasse gegönnt. Die wurde mit Gebührengeldern zuverlässig gefüllt. Die Aufsichtsgremien schauten weg oder spielten mit. Und wir sollen glauben , dass das ein Einzelfall in den neun Landesrundfunkanstalten der ARD gewesen sein soll. #ÖRR #Rundfunk #Korruption

Diese Woche war die Entscheidung zur Wahl des „TOR DER WOCHE“ ganz einfach. Beim Wettbüro hätte man mit diesem Kandidaten keinen Gewinn machen können. Staatsminister Philipp „Fipsi“ Amthor (CDU) spielte in der ZDF-Doku Inside CDU eine tragische Rolle. Er traf jedes Fettnäpfchen. https://t.co/l2RpFBdaPs #Wahl #Politik #ZDF
