Gr@ntlɘr wrote that the firewall is at its end. It not only separates the CDU from the AfD but also from its own voters and is leading the party to ruin. This is now also being said by the ARD journalist Thomas Berbner, he wrote. Furthermore, he asked if anyone would have the courage to make a course change. https://t.co/aSjoR1xwZu #Politik #CDU #Deutschland (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized that the CDU is dealing with the statements of a Civey poll expert regarding the mood in the country, a speech by 86-year-old former Federal President Joachim Gauck, and a renewed debate about the fire wall at their retreat meeting. Meanwhile, the promise of prosperity in the country is increasingly being called into question, he wrote. Boeminghaus urged the party to focus more on the economy, growth, and prosperity. Then it might have to deal less with polling figures, he argued. Instead, the CDU continues to go in circles politically and is beyond help. Even "Grandpa Kurt" might soon lose the desire to vote for them, he wrote. https://t.co/Eq6P5aMAij #CDU #Wirtschaft #Wohlstand (translated)
An exclusive survey shows that the Germans are deeply divided in the discussion about the firewall and sheds light on the differences in support as well as the existing contradictions. #Brandmauer #Deutschland #Umfrage (translated)
Otherwise, the CDU, the Union in this form will no longer exist in the long run. The CDU has a very clear resolution that categorically excludes collaboration with the AfD and the Left, and everyone will have to abide by that, Prien said to BR. #CDU #AfD #Brandmauer (translated)
I consider the thesis bold that the AfD would not have grown without our incompatibility resolution. According to Welt am Sonntag, parliamentary vice Günter Krings sees no reason for a softening of the "firewall": "I consider the thesis bold that the AfD would not have grown without our incompatibility resolution." #CDU #AfD #Brandmauer (translated)

The enemies of the savings book wrote that the final phase of the government of the Union and SPD has begun. CSU Vice Manfred Weber referred to the firewall as a significant burden. Merz spoke behind closed doors about dismissing SPD ministers. The SPD has abandoned its statements regarding the democratic center and is preparing in Berlin for a government with a left-wing mayor. The author predicted that someone would end the coalition before the NRW state elections. #Politik #Regierung #SPD (translated)
NIUS wrote that the CSU politician Manfred Weber advocated for loosening the distinction from the AfD. In his opinion, a firewall based on the model of "them or us" should belong to the past. https://t.co/LTSFSSecuj #CSU #AfD #Politik (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)
The author wrote that Brandenburg is the second federal state after Saxony-Anhalt where AfD and BSW together have a majority. It could also become the second state after Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where the CDU exits the government. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the BSW has harmed itself, in the author's opinion, with its chairman and his stance on the firewall; in Brandenburg, on the other hand, policy is being made in a fact-oriented manner.

Malca Goldstein-Wolf recommended reading a linked comment in full and stated that she agreed with its assertions. The comment criticized that politics and the media focused on right-wing forces while left-wing extremism advanced. At the same time, it accused politicians and journalists of having a negative fixation on everything right-wing and pointed out that "right" was used as a pejorative in national newspaper headlines. According to the comment, the Union, FDP, and AfD together achieved 45.9 percent in the federal elections in 2002 and 53.7 percent in 2025 — if one categorizes these parties as conservative or at least not left-wing. It also complained that there was a demarcation to the right but no corresponding demarcation to the left, causing the distinction between right and right-wing extremist as well as left and left-wing extremist to be lost. Goldstein-Wolf also highlighted the question of whether the left is the new right. https://t.co/TsSnyqmFvP #Politik #Extremismus #Demokratie (translated)
The author wrote that no democratic party profits when the Union abandons its distinction from the AfD and involves them in power. #Demokratie #Politik #AfD #DE (translated)
Marc Felix Serrao wrote that the CDU could be crushed if it clings to the fire wall: between the AfD and a coalition of dark red, red, and green. With values below 20 percent and the prospect of a coalition with at least two left-wing partners, there remains hardly any promise to voters from his perspective – unless it becomes "not quite so left." #CDU #Politik #Wahlen (translated)
