Steffan Nethe criticized the proposal of the CDU parliamentary leadership in Saxony-Anhalt to leave the room together before the secret election of the Minister President. He wrote that the leadership wanted to prevent members from their own ranks from voting for the candidate of the strongest party. Nethe described the proposal as a sign of panic and accused the members of avoiding a parliamentary vote. In his view, this behavior contradicts democracy and the free mandate according to the Basic Law. He also stated that it further undermines trust in the CDU and is a "bankruptcy declaration for the rule of law." At the same time, he pointed out that the AfD is becoming stronger, in his estimation, with each election. #SachsenAnhalt #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)
