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)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the porcelain manufacturer Kahla would cease production after 182 years, and 98 employees would lose their jobs. The company, founded in 1844, filed for insolvency again in February 2026; talks with two Turkish investors had been unsuccessful. According to Boeminghaus, production should continue until the end of October, decoration until the end of 2026, and sales are expected to continue until March. Insolvency administrator Rolf Rombach cited particularly high energy costs as reasons for the closure. In addition, a weaker order situation and fewer orders from the gastronomy sector had burdened the company. Boeminghaus pointed out that the Kahla brand had been awarded more than 100 international design prizes. He cited BILD as the source. https://t.co/uK5lKkBzOV #Kahla #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze (translated)

Manaf Hassan criticized the closeness of Federal Constitutional Court President Stephan Harbarth to the political leadership. A photo from the weekend in Bremen shows Harbarth at the state ceremony for the Day of German Unity directly next to leading politicians, he wrote. The court president must stand for the separation of powers, but had previously served as a CDU member of the Bundestag, a member of the CDU federal executive, and as deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the Bundestag. Harbarth had switched from the faction leadership to the Federal Constitutional Court in November 2018 and was elected vice president the day after his election as a judge. About a year and a half later, he became president. Hassan described it as unusual that Harbarth reached the head of the court without prior judicial activity in Karlsruhe. Before that, Harbarth had worked as a partner in a law firm that split from Shearman & Sterling in 2008, becoming SZA Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz. Until 2004, Hanno Berger also worked there in Frankfurt on tax law. Berger is considered a central developer of the Cum-Ex transactions, in which banks and investors received refunds for capital gains tax that they had never paid. Experts estimate the damage, according to Hassan, at a double-digit billion amount. Berger later advised, among others, the Hamburg Warburg Bank and has since been legally convicted. Harbarth worked during those years in the Mannheim office of the law firm; what he knew about Berger's activities remains unclear, Hassan wrote. Additionally, Hassan referred to decisions and proceedings at the Federal Constitutional Court: The First Senate under Harbarth's chairmanship had examined and largely approved central Corona measures in 2021. In the Second Senate, there has been a complaint regarding the election review from BSW for almost two years, which wants to achieve a recount of the federal election and entry into the Bundestag. If BSW were to enter Parliament retroactively, the black-red coalition would lose its own majority, according to Hassan. He asked how Harbarth could be at the head of the court while also publicly standing next to the government, whose actions the court should control. #Bremen #Bundesverfassungsgericht #Politik (translated)
