Peter Borbe wrote that Söder explicitly opposed collaboration with the AfD during "Miosga." In the other 15 federal states, however, the CDU has no Free Voters with whom they could comfortably form majorities. If they want to avoid the AfD, according to Borbe, only left-wing parties remain there. #Politik #CDU #AfD (translated)

Furthermore, he has found another "Goal of the Week" and invited his viewers to the show. #Montag #CDU #Politik (translated)

Emrah Erken criticized the UN Human Rights Council and Navi Pillay. He wrote that the body had condemned Israel for human rights violations a total of 116 times since its founding in 2006, while China, Turkey, and Qatar had not been condemned even once. The United Nations, he claimed, had turned human rights into a weapon against the West, particularly Israel. Pillay served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. During this time, the Human Rights Council never condemned China, Erken wrote. UN Watch and former UN employee Emma Reilly accused Pillay of having passed the names of more than 50 dissidents, including Uighurs, to China under her leadership. Additionally, Pillay stayed away from the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2010 in honor of the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Erken further wrote that Pillay later led a UN commission of inquiry that accused Israel of genocide and previously signed calls for sanctions against Israel. In 2012, she criticized the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its Muhammad cartoons, describing the drawings as malicious and intentionally provocative. Critics also accused her of opting for appeasement and restrictions on freedom of expression rather than defending it in the debate over Muhammad cartoons. Erken called it a shame that Pillay would receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize, and expressed opposition to post-colonialism, the "Woke Left," and Pillay. #Menschenrechte #UN #Israel (translated)

The author wrote that democracy thrives on finding majorities for what is right, convincing others, and fighting for it, not on compromise. Compromises may sometimes be possible and necessary; however, whoever declares them as the goal from the outset does not want to lead, but simply wants to have peace. #Demokratie #Politik #Gesellschaft #DE (translated)

The account BrennpunktUA stated that the US Congress is planning to block an energy deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that a bipartisan coalition would soon introduce a bill aimed at prohibiting all purchases of Russian oil products. The draft is to be called the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act." According to Fitzpatrick, a vote in Plenary would be forced using a so-called "Discharge Petition" procedure, and the draft would be passed by an overwhelming majority. If successful, the procedure could be completed very quickly, according to BrennpunktUA. #USPolitics #Trump #Putin (translated)

A party that wants to hold the ruling majority here and has an open flank at this point is a security risk – not only for Berlin.

Gr@ntlɘr wrote that there was no excitement about Bodo Ramelow's company car. The prime minister of the Left Party had driven a BMW from the 7 series for ten years, even in his second term without his own majority.

The author wrote that Brandenburg is the second federal state after Saxony-Anhalt where AfD and BSW together have a majority. It could also become the second state after Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where the CDU exits the government. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the BSW has harmed itself, in the author's opinion, with its chairman and his stance on the firewall; in Brandenburg, on the other hand, policy is being made in a fact-oriented manner. (translated)

The author referred to a new INSA survey for Brandenburg, which showed that the AfD was at 40 percent, the SPD at 20 percent, the CDU and the Left party each at 9 percent, and the BSW and Greens each at 7 percent. He wrote that the AfD would have an absolute majority if the CDU and the Greens fell below five percent. #Brandenburg #Umfrage #Politik #DE (translated)

The author of "savings book enemies" wrote that Friedrich Merz is 70 years old and has indicated in earlier statements that Germany needs a tough course change in migration, taxes, and energy. After almost two years in office, Merz must realize, in his opinion, that his party stands at 17.5 percent – a historic low – and he could go down in history as the most unpopular Chancellor of all time. Furthermore, the author blamed Merz for the end of his party as a people's party and stated that reasonable politics is not possible with the SPD. He asked what Merz has to lose and suggested throwing the SPD out of the government and tackling domestic issues in a minority government. According to the author, there are middle-class majorities for nuclear power, taxes, and migration. #Politik #Deutschland #FriedrichMerz (translated)
