Julian Adrat criticized that Markus Söder had claimed in the program "Miosga" without contest that the AfD was hostile to the disabled and "brutally right" in Bavaria. Miosga referred to Adrat in a derogatory manner. Adrat countered Söder's statement with a series of his own examples, which he labeled as "not normal." These included the blowing up of nuclear power plants, prison sentences for internet memes, and centuries of debt approved by a dismissed parliament. He also mentioned transforming Christmas markets into fortresses, citizen income payments to foreigners, the handling of billions for masks, the purchase of babies, and calls for rocket attacks on Moscow. As further examples, Adrat cited the expansion of wind and solar plants, bike paths in Peru, the training of trans-rickshaw drivers in India, and 130,000 foreigners who roamed freely despite arrest warrants. In conclusion, he criticized that citizens had to finance the programs under threat of imprisonment. #Politik #AfD #Gesellschaft (translated)

The author wrote that she would not allow neutrality to be used as a justification for spreading Russian propaganda or weakening support for Ukraine as Foreign Minister.

Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

Anna wrote that US Senators Schumer, Shaheen, and Warren called Trump's diesel deal with Putin a "total betrayal" of Ukraine and pledged their support to Kyiv. They blamed the Iran war for rising fuel prices in the US and Europe and accused Trump of disregarding the bipartisan will of Congress, which had passed a law just weeks earlier prohibiting the purchase of Russian energy. The senators called for an end to the Iran war instead of financing Russia's war machinery, stating that Putin only responds to strength. Anna recalled that Trump told Zelensky in February 2025 at the White House that he had no cards. Now, Trump is allegedly asking Zelensky for oil with diesel prices exceeding $6 per gallon. According to Anna, Moscow is receiving a sanctions reprieve and new sales markets while Washington is facing accusations of betrayal in its own Senate. She cited a joint statement from the senators, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Arab News, and SRF as sources. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin (translated)
