Meanwhile, after the brief "word battle" with Siegmund, ZDF reporter Köster was followed by a microphone holder from the right-wing "Deutschland-Kurier" in the Magdeburg state parliament, who asked him silly questions in his own or "Activist Man" style ("Why are you always trembling?", "Will you tell us how you earn your money – with compulsory fees?", "Why don't you want to say anything?") and received the response from Köster that he doesn't give interviews "while working." #AfD #heuteshow #UlrichSiegmund (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann drew a critical balance of the day and referred to poll figures of 13 percent for the SPD, 14 percent for the CDU, and 4 percent for the CSU. He wrote that the SPD was dragging the Union along and accused its coalition partner of inhumane treatment of Labor Minister Bas after her resignation. Friedrich Merz had to respond and tried to present the results of a two-day retreat of the CDU's top committees as a plan for better times. However, Hartmann referred to these as reheated old ideas. In Schwerin, a woman was working against the AfD on a red-red-green government, which she wanted to lead as Chancellor after the next federal election, he wrote. The CDU remains committed to the "firewall," while Markus Söder wants to expel CDU members who voted with the AfD from the party. Karin Prien thinks the CDU is too conservative, Hartmann added. He saw bleak prospects for the party and wrote that the CDU had once again failed to recognize the signs of the times at the Adenauer House. #Politik #CDU #SPD (translated)

Ulrich Schneider accused the CDU of cutting child support for single parents and abolishing the immediate child benefit for low-income earners, despite its commitment to families. He asked whom the party wanted to deceive with its executive board decision and whether it considered people to be completely foolish. https://t.co/iYLVwxoTA8 #Familienpolitik #Alleinerziehend #CDU (translated)

"We would like to express our utmost dismay at the revised version of the negotiating framework." EVP Chief Manfred Weber (CSU) and the other faction leaders of the center parties in the European Parliament vehemently reject a new compromise proposal in the struggle over the new long-term EU budget because they consider the cuts to be far too excessive. #EUHaushalt #Budgetkürzungen #ManfredWeber (translated)

The negotiations on the EU budget for the years 2028 to 2034 are marked by intense disputes, as EPP leader Manfred Weber and other group leaders reject the proposed cuts as excessive and strongly oppose the position of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. #EUHaushalt #Budgetkürzungen #ManfredWeber (translated)
