The problem is enormous. The state government under governor Anton Mattle (ÖVP) is certainly "obliged to finally take action" and must "finally come up with adequate solutions," Dornauer said, because: "The problem is enormous. This year there was a truck jam in the south that stretched from Brenner to Neumarkt. That's about 100 kilometers. That's no longer bearable." #Tirol #LkwTransit #Nachtfahrverbot (translated)

"In North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU is certainly still a people's party. If we do not learn at the federal level, the decline will continue unabated," Radtke told the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger," referring to the black-green state government in Düsseldorf. #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Wahlen (translated)

He described a red-green-red coalition in Berlin as an absolute taboo break. In his assessment, for the first time in the post-war history of the country, a party that he described as partially anti-Semitic and critical of the police would lead a state government. He also called it embarrassing that the Berlin SPD and Greens ...; his sentence on this remained incomplete. https://t.co/tXdOQa1YXx #Berlin #Politik #Antisemitismus #DE (translated)

Red-Green-Red in Berlin would be an absolute taboo. Söder warns of a historical dam break and criticizes the Berlin negotiators, saying to BILD: "Red-Green-Red in Berlin would be an absolute taboo. For the first time in the post-war history of our country, a party that is partly anti-Semitic and critical of the police would lead a state government. It is shameful that the Berlin SPD and Greens want to go along with this. There can be no compromises when it comes to anti-Semitism – especially not any rotten ones. This betrays central values of our democracy." #CSU #BerlinKoalition #Antisemitismus (translated)

Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report stating that Markus Söder wants to turn off the money tap for Berlin. The report warned that this would betray democratic values and labeled the Left as partly anti-Semitic and critical of the police. Betschinger demanded an immediate halt to the state financial equalization. He wrote that the Left primarily aims to take money away from hardworking and diligent people. He argued that it is unacceptable for citizens in Bavaria to pay for kindergarten places in their own federal state as well as for free childcare in Berlin. #Söder #Demokratie #Finanzausgleich (translated)

Plain text from Muc wrote that the AfD and the BSW had agreed to establish an investigative committee on Corona policy in the new state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt. This committee is intended to investigate political decision-making processes, interventions in fundamental rights, as well as the consequences of lockdowns, school closures, 2G rules, and vaccination policy. The author referred to a campaign promise of the AfD to hold accountable those responsible for what they see as wrongdoing. Unlike the expert commission set up by the current state government in 2025, an investigative committee can request files, hear witnesses, and examine governmental decisions in a parliamentary manner, he wrote. In his view, the topic should serve as a model for state parliaments in Germany; he also mentioned illegal migration as another possible topic. At the same time, he wrote that the political system was alarmed due to the plans and expressed disdain for Pistorius. He mentioned Klöckner in a hashtag. https://t.co/pGuYPq99Xe #Demokratie #SachsenAnhalt #Kotzen #Rausch #Klöckner #Demokratie #SachsenAnhalt #CoronaUntersuchungsausschuss (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that the AfD and BSW had presented their first joint substantive proposal shortly after the constitution of the new state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. In this proposal, they demanded, according to their portrayal, to stop German financial and military support for Ukraine and to lift sanctions against Russia. The state government should advocate for this in the Bundesrat; a special session is planned for October 14. Laska referred to a statement by BSW faction vice Claudia Wittig, who had called for a policy that thought more about Köthen than about Kyiv. In contrast, Laska presented results from the Saxony-Anhalt Monitor 2025: out of 1,077 respondents, who could name up to three problems, foreign policy was mentioned twelve times. Infrastructure and mobility ranked first with 360 mentions, economy and finance second with 352, followed by social issues, jobs, and education. Laska wrote that decisions on arms deliveries and sanctions were made by the federal government and the EU, while municipal financial equalization was state law. Therefore, the AfD and BSW had initially used their joint majority for a topic that the state parliament could not change, rather than for municipal finances. She described this as populism and accused the parties of pursuing a policy in the interests of Moscow. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Politik (translated)

The AfD and BSW have requested a special session in the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt on October 14 to discuss a peace proposal regarding Russia's war against Ukraine, while the state government has no authority in this area. #Friedensantrag #SachsenAnhalt #UkraineKrieg (translated)

Two months ago, the left-wing lawyers' association RAV called for a ban on the AfD in an open letter. It referred to the poor AI-generated report from the equally left-leaning "Society for Freedom Rights." Some signatories work in Hessian courts or public prosecutor's offices. In my opinion, signing the call for a party ban procedure violates the "political moderation obligation" and the "duty of neutrality" of judges and prosecutors. The CDU-led Ministry of Justice in Hesse has therefore directed courts and the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt to examine, in the respective named cases, whether there is a specific reason to consider "necessary action in terms of civil service law." The ministry wants to protect against possible bias in court proceedings related to the AfD. The outcry from the left-wing judges' association NRV is considerable. 😨 We have submitted a small inquiry on this matter (@GrobeDrFrank). We want to know not only how many signatories of the call currently work in the Hessian judiciary and at which courts or public prosecutor's offices they are active. The state government should also clarify how it assesses "regarding moderation obligation, judicial independence, and possible bias" when Hessian judges or prosecutors become active in this way. I am curious about the answers and the further course! #Politik #Justiz #AfD (translated)

The right of members of parliament to ask questions is constitutionally protected. Article 53 paragraph 2 of the Thuringian Constitution guarantees us the right to ask questions; Article 67 paragraph 1 obliges the state government to answer them without delay. A basic deadline of six weeks applies to small inquiries. What are we experiencing with the Interior Minister? He doesn't need six weeks or even eight. Sometimes he takes months – in some cases nearly a year. I do not have the impression that the Interior Minister takes his constitutional obligations particularly seriously. What do you think? #AfD #nurnochafd #afdfraktion #deshalbafd #afdthüringen #Thüringen #Landtag #AfD #nurnochafd #afdfraktion #deshalbafd #afdthüringen #Thüringen #Landtag #Thüringen #Landtag #Verfassung (translated)

Today is the day! Expert hearing in the Justice Committee of the Thuringian State Parliament regarding the request from the Left for a ban procedure against the AfD is taking place. (So, the State Parliament should somehow urge the state government to work towards a ban procedure – actually, that's nonsense). The applicant has nominated Hape Kerkeling as a "expert," who is said to have no professional training or legal qualifications...🤔🥳 The Thuringian State Parliament will probably stream it, my block from 7 pm...🥱 #Thüringen #Landtag #AfD (translated)

Nennen wir das Kind doch einfach mal beim Namen, und wer mich kennt weiss, dass ich ein Freund von klaren deutlichen Worten bin: Die Union hat sich in den letzen Jahren dermassen von SPD und Grüne durch dieses "Die Mitte muss zusammenhalten" Gequatsche VERARSCHEN lassen, und Jeder der genau davor gewarnt hat, dass sie bei erster Gelegenheit der CDU das Messer in den Rücken rammen werden, und selbst in Berlin mit den Schlimmsten der Schlimmsten von DIE LINKE zusammen gehen werden wenn sich die Möglichkeit ergibt, wurde ausgelacht oder sogar diffamiert. Hätte die CDU einen Partei-Vorsitzenden mit Selbstachtung, würde er sich am Montag nach der Vorstands- und Präsidiumssitzung vor die Kammeras stellen und ganz cool verkünden: "SPD und Grüne haben trotz anderer rechnerischer Möglichkeiten das politische Mitte-Bündnis in Berlin eigenständig und ohne Not aufgekündigt. Sollten SPD und Grüne in Berlin gemeinsam mit DIE LINKE eine Landesregierung bilden, können wir sie daran zwar nicht hindern, aber wir können die Konsequenzen daraus ziehen. - Für diesen Fall fühlen wir uns als CDU zukünftig auf Länderebene ebenfalls nicht mehr verpflichtet. Ich werde daher dem nächsten Bundesparteitag der CDU vorschlagen, sämtliche Unvereinbarkeits-Beschlüsse aus dem Jahre 2018 aufzuheben, um zukünftig mit allen in Landes-Parlamenten vertretenen Parteien Mehrheiten zu suchen." - *RUMMS* Merz bräuchte die 3 Buchstaben "AfD" noch nicht mal in den Mund zu nehmen. Eine solche "wenn-dann" Ankündigung würde vollkommen ausreichen, um in den Partei-Zentralen von SPD und Grüne blanke Panik auszulösen. - So schnell wie die Gespräche mit DIE LINKE in Berlin vom Tisch wären, könnten sie bei der CDU garnicht bis 3 zählen. SPD und Grüne wäre sofort klar, was das für ihre zukünftigen Machtoptionen und möglichen Regierungs-Beteiligungen in den Ländern bedeuten würde. Man würde die Berliner SPD und Grüne von ganz oben sofort zurückpfeifen, und eine Regierung unter der Führung DIE LINKE in Berlin wäre vom Tisch. - Elif Eralp und ihre Truppe wären raus, die Sondierungs-Gespräche mit Stefan Evers könnten beginnen. Für einen solchen Schritt bräuhte es ein Stück Risiko-Bereitschaft, und vor allem Schneid. Beides hat Friedrich Merz meiner Meinung nach leider nicht. Gleichzeitig hätte eine solche "wenn-dann" Ansage natürlich auch eine gewisse indirekte Strahlkraft an den Koalitions-Partner SPD im Bund: "Freunde, treibt´s nicht zu weit, das Mass ist voll. - Entweder ihr setzt jetzt die Reformen mit uns als CDU wie vereinbart ohne wenn und aber um, oder Ihr seid raus. - enough is enough! #CDU #Politik #Koalition

"Grünen-Vorsitzende Brantner will Garantien von Elif Eralp, dass Personen mit Verbindungen zur organisierten Kriminalität eine mögliche Berliner Landesregierung nicht prägen." - wo sind wir 2026 eigentlich hingekommen? Sizilien?! Schon die Existenz dieser Forderung ist pervers. #Politik #Berlin #OrganisierteKriminalität
