Julian Adrat referred to dm CEO Christoph Werner as a smart head and accused Caren Miosga of interrupting Werner when he praised Gerhard Schröder's reforms. He wrote that she wanted to discredit Schröder as a friend of Putin and prevent a discussion about successful reforms. Moreover, Werner did not share the pessimism about an end to the traffic light coalition and pointed out that history continues to evolve. Adrat quoted him as saying it would be "the first time in history" if the end of history were to occur now. The simple truths put public broadcasters in a sweat, wrote Adrat. #Politik #Deutschland #Reformen (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Dr. Bernd Baumann wrote that a political confrontation between two blocks is imminent. The SPD is moving towards collaboration with the Greens and forces he described as Islamist-left through its Berlin regional association. He interpreted this as a strategic withdrawal of the SPD from the Merz coalition and as the beginning of the next federal election campaign, which is oriented towards the successful camp election campaign of Schwesig. On the other hand, according to Baumann, the AfD is uniting citizens who demand an end to left-wing policies. The Union is being squeezed in between: it showcases its themes only to then negotiate again with left-wing parties. In this conflict, such a party is no longer needed, he wrote. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #SPD (translated)
