The author wrote that the taz stated at the start of his book that anti-fascist economic policy apparently strikes a nerve. He felt a similar resonance in Frankfurt, Vienna, and Zurich.

"Do you want to go somewhere else? Then say it." Looking at the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU chief Markus Söder called on dissenters within the Union to leave. "Anyone who votes for the AfD does not have much of a future with us." Söder suggested that this probably stemmed from a deep wound within the CDU faction. After these events, Söder would find it "surprising" if the AfD did not also lead the government in the state. "It would be absolutely necessary. The voters in Saxony-Anhalt have already made a very clear statement." "Given the results, you can't say that. I just think that anyone considering doing something like that should have the backbone to make it public." "Also immediately move in the political direction." "Because I find that quite despicable." "Therefore, everyone who is playing with fire (...), should know that in the end it will probably lead to extreme AfD dominance, that the polls will turn into results." "If the second democratic government fails within a few years after the traffic light coalition, it would be a huge blow to democracy." "I appreciate him, I respect him, and I also find that very unfair." "Friedrich Merz remains Chancellor." CSU chief Markus Söder has again backed Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and campaigned for the CSU politician Ilse Aigner as Federal President. "The only personnel matter that personally interests me is not the chancellorship, but I would like Ilse Aigner to become Federal President if at all possible. I am very committed to that." #CSU #CDU #Politik (translated)
Peter Borbe accused Friedrich Merz and his environment of repeatedly claiming in Germany that critics of the war efforts and hostilities against Russia pursued by the federal government for years are financed by Russia. It is already bad enough that such accusations are spread domestically, wrote Borbe. That the Chancellor is now also expressing them internationally and imputing to the opposition control by foreign powers is unacceptable, he added. https://t.co/19gypmnYP2 #Politik #Demokratie #Freiheit (translated)
Stepsen wrote that October 11 should henceforth be celebrated in Europe as a public holiday for the liberation of the internet from Russian bots. In his assessment, this would significantly reduce the number of German and European users confronted with Russian propaganda in their timelines, which could facilitate a return to a democratic and fact-based discourse. #Internetfreiheit #Demokratie #FaktenbasierterDiskurs (translated)

The critics of the savings book enemies stated that those who had used the dismissed Bundestag to push through the largest new debt in post-war history in Parliament should not constantly refer to themselves as a democratic party in talk shows.

TheRealTom wrote that a Bavarian constitutional judge wants to force representatives, who are free and only obligated to their conscience, to adopt a uniform, prescribed voting behavior through criminal law means.

The author interpreted both as a call to undermine democracy for personal gain and to turn it into an empty shell. #Demokratie #Rechtsstaat #Politik (translated)
