The AfD parliamentary group in Saxony announced that AfD MP Jörg Dornau had requested the state government to disclose the performance-related compensation of executives at companies in which the Free State has a stake (Drs. 8/7237). This includes, among others, Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, Leipzig Trade Fair, the SAENA Energy Agency, and the porcelain manufactory. Regarding the Leipzig Trade Fair, Dornau received information that there are 42.5 executives in full-time equivalents. The government refused to provide details on fixed salaries and bonus payments. According to publicly accessible sources, the AfD parliamentary group deduced that the CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, including bonuses, is likely to earn between 400,000 to 550,000 euros gross annually. The AfD also found years ago that savings bank executives in Dresden likely earn more than 50,000 euros per month on average (7/10922). Dornau accused the government of not disclosing the compensation of executives at companies with state participation of 51 to 100 percent because this would be difficult to convey to citizens. He assessed that some managers are not very successful but earn more than Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Dornau demanded that the salaries of the CEOs be made publicly accessible, like those of public broadcasting, to avoid the impression of a “CDU cliquishness.” #AfD #Sachsen #JörgDornau #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Landesbeteiligungen #Spitzengehälter #Transparenz #LeipzigerMesse #MitteldeutscheFlughafenAG #AfD #Transparenz #Sachsen (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)
