Emanuel Boeminghaus described Berlin pejoratively and stated that the construction industry in the city is under strong pressure. The plans of the Left for socialization unsettle investors and banks and could jeopardize new housing construction projects, he explained. Citing construction industry president Olaf Demuth, Boeminghaus reported that Berlin construction companies are increasingly having difficulties obtaining new loans. According to Demuth, the plans deter international investors. The socialization of around 200,000 apartments would, according to Demuth, cost between 20 and 30 billion euros; additionally, no new apartments would be created as a result. Whether the plans would be implemented remained uncertain. Boeminghaus pointed to growing uncertainty among construction companies regarding financing, investments, and future contracts. He cited BILD from October 11, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/5CoU9qTlj9 #Berlin #Bauindustrie #Immobilien (translated)
U.M. OSINT wrote that he had read an article that had been repeatedly circulated as alleged evidence of Israeli war crimes and was behind a paywall. He positively noted that attacks on the IDF were occasionally mentioned in it. As the only action that he assessed clearly constitutes a war crime, he mentioned the use of prisoners of war to scout tunnels. It is unclear whether local commanders or a higher authority ordered this; the timeframe is also not provided. Furthermore, U.M. OSINT stated that there was nothing in the article that does not occur in most other wars. The other statements are moral classifications and irrelevant to him. Additionally, it is solely Israeli soldiers speaking, which makes it once again one-sided testimonies. #Kriegsverbrechen #Nahostkonflikt #IDF (translated)

René Springer, the labor and social policy spokesperson for the AfD faction, expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas and her family after the death of a family member and wished her strength and time to process the loss. The AfD faction has often represented fundamentally different positions in labor and social policy and has had harsh confrontations with Bas. He even demanded her dismissal as Minister and continues to stand by this political assessment, wrote Springer. At the same time, political opposition should not obscure the view of the person behind the office. Bas' decision to withdraw from the front row of politics during this difficult phase of life deserves respect. #Mitgefühl #Politik #Verlust (translated)
