Waldemar Hartmann reported that Gordon Schnieder (CDU), the Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate, was a guest on the ARD program "Report from Berlin" after a meeting of his party's executive board. Hartmann had hoped for new insights but, in his assessment, heard the same statements as for months: People need to be taken along and their concerns taken seriously. In addition, Schnieder ruled out collaboration with the AfD. Hartmann criticized that the CDU had understood nothing and predicted it would soon be in single digits. The "death knell" is already ringing, he wrote. #CDU #RheinlandPfalz #Politik (translated)

Apollo News reported that a 16-year-old Afghan suddenly stabbed a 17-year-old German in the back at a street festival in Dielheim. According to the investigators, as cited by the media, an 18-year-old compatriot had previously urged the youth to arm himself and come to the crime scene. Both are now in pre-trial detention. https://t.co/gQcu1XsMTw #Dielheim #Gewalt #Kriminalität (translated)
The author wrote that insight apparently only comes when it is too late. Anyone who would have expressed this assessment a year ago would have been, according to his account, "lynched"; before the elections, such voices had been referred to as NS revivalists. He asked whether the Union would now explain this to the SPD as well. #Erkenntnis #Wahlen #Politik #DE (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that Stelter is correct in his analysis; he listens to his podcast regularly. The problem, however, is not a lack of knowledge: politicians are aware of the situation but follow systemic incentives that, in his view, favor more redistribution, social welfare, debt, taxes, and contributions, as well as a higher state quota. This secures their positions and pensions. Gorus considered a course change unrealistic. According to his portrayal, political actors benefited from the decline and did not care about decreasing prosperity. He compared them to residents of the Wandlitz forest settlement negotiating their next role among themselves. He asked how long the substance of the private sector would last and whether the euro, the EU, or the Federal Republic would collapse first. Genuine reform within the existing structures seems unlikely to him. The next government would probably be Green-Red-Red, Gorus wrote, because retirees and other recipients of transfers formed the largest voter block; after that, things would really get going in the "ghost train." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wirtschaft (translated)
Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing Bavarian Interior Minister Herrmann, that the suspect in the shooting case in Berngau was a hunter and sport shooter. He allegedly shot two employees of the district office at his home during a routine weapon check the day before. According to Kussmann, the 60-year-old German legally owned ten firearms and had not previously come to the attention of the police. There were also no findings about him in police files or with the state protection and constitutional protection agencies. Investigations into the incident, in which a 45-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were killed, are ongoing. #Waffengewalt #Kriminalität #Sicherheit (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that former BND chief August Hanning has been arrested. There are suspicions against him that he used secret information from the BND for his private consulting activities and passed on insights to foreign actors. Laska sarcastically pointed out that Russia was not involved according to her portrayal. She noted that Hanning, after his time at the BND, had worked as the Russia chief for the British security consultancy G3 and had served on the board of the German-Azerbaijani Forum. His former office manager at the BND was also arrested. Laska wrote that this individual had allegedly provided Hanning with highly classified information from the agency for years in exchange for payment. #BND #Sicherheit #Nachrichten (translated)

Jörg Kachelmann wrote that there is reason to hope that media houses in German-speaking countries could recognize the causes of brown meadows, dry fields, and low water levels. He used derogatory terms for the media houses. However, he added that the hope will likely only last until next summer and the next heatwave. #Hoffnung #Bildung #Umweltschutz (translated)
AllyAgainstHate wrote that experts had found the AfD to be hostile to the constitution. Many people on X had been saying this, according to him, for over ten years. He commented that such an assessment apparently only receives groundbreaking treatment when experts reach the same conclusion after years of examination. He ironically referred to the process as a belated realization that now has received an expert opinion. https://t.co/6napjsYxrr #AfD #Verfassungsrecht #Eilmeldung (translated)
