"We are not here to win a dispute within the left. We are here to win the presidential election." A left that remains true to its values can "unite people, govern, and win," Glucksmann explained after the vote on the online service X. #Glucksmann #MarineLePen #Sozialdemokraten (translated)

Three weeks ago, the game might have gone differently. In one way or another, the coordination was not as optimal as it usually is for us.

The account BrennpunktUA stated that the US Congress is planning to block an energy deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that a bipartisan coalition would soon introduce a bill aimed at prohibiting all purchases of Russian oil products. The draft is to be called the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act." According to Fitzpatrick, a vote in Plenary would be forced using a so-called "Discharge Petition" procedure, and the draft would be passed by an overwhelming majority. If successful, the procedure could be completed very quickly, according to BrennpunktUA. #USPolitics #Trump #Putin (translated)

Thorsten Alsleben wrote that Weber emphasized that the firewall does not replace politics. For the Union, it is a permanent burden to repeatedly vote with leftist parties in the minority governments in Thuringia and Saxony, thereby implementing even more leftist policies. At the same time, the AfD brings CDU content to a vote in parliament individually, against which the CDU must vote due to the firewall, Weber said according to Alsleben. #Union #CDU #Politik (translated)

RobynHD criticized that the Bundestag had rejected two motions to abolish the tax-free Bitcoin holding period the day before. The Greens had called for cryptocurrency gains to be taxed at the personal income tax rate, regardless of the holding period. A total of 132 representatives voted in favor, while 445 voted against. A motion from the Left Party had also failed. This proposed, among other things, taxation akin to stocks, an exit tax, and a EU-wide trading ban for certain proof-of-work coins. The CDU/CSU, SPD, and AfD rejected the proposals. However, the vote does not mean that the abolition is off the table, RobynHD wrote. The SPD-led Ministry of Finance is working on a reform that is also supposed to end the one-year holding period. Bitcoin purchased from 2027 onwards should be taxed at a basic rate of 26.375 percent; existing holdings would be protected. The cabinet is expected to address the proposal on October 14. RobynHD acknowledged that other legislative proposals had been up for decision during the vote. Nonetheless, from the author's perspective, it is alarming that work continues on the abolition despite the clear rejection. The Union could still prevent the reform, but RobynHD has little hope. #Bitcoin #Krypto #Steuern (translated)

The author wrote that there should be a roll-call vote in the Bundestag that might be overlooked in the general political commotion on that evening. It is important for people with disabilities and their supporters, and it also concerns parliamentarianism in a certain way. The contribution then introduced a question about the treatment of human life but broke off at that point. #Bundestag #Inklusion #Parlamentarismus #DE (translated)
