The SPD protested in Berlin against the election of the first far-right AfD state parliament president since the Nazi era by taking to the streets with the national anthem to draw attention to their disappointment with the reception history and the responsibilities of democracy. #Rechtsextremismus #SPD #Demokratie (translated)

The author wrote that Pistorius had sung the national anthem in protest against the AfD, apparently not realizing that this, from his perspective, showed how much the AfD had positively changed Germany. He also asked whether leftist comrades would sing the German national anthem without the influence on national pride attributed to the AfD. #Deutschland #Nationalhymne #AfD #DE (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann criticized the reactions to the election of Tobias Rausch as the president of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. The federal SPD demonstrated with Boris Pistorius, whom Hartmann referred to as the "war minister," at Bebel-Platz and sang the national anthem. The CDU is looking for "undercover agents" within its own ranks, while NGOs warned and threatened with actions, he wrote. Hartmann saw the actual political scandal in Berlin: SPD and Greens continue to talk with Die Linke about a common political future. He mentioned antisemitism, similarities with criminal clans, and connections to terrorist organizations. The federal SPD points to the responsibility of the state association, while the Greens remained duplicitous, Hartmann wrote. Their position contradicts the importance that the green-left milieu otherwise attributes to the issue of stance. #Demokratie #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Dara wrote that national symbols had been a red rag for the SPD for years. That Boris Pistorius now stands in a difficult position and starts singing the national anthem does not seem patriotic to them, but rather driven and embarrassing. https://t.co/wuUrLUrduj #SPD #Nationalhymne #Patriotismus (translated)

Dr. Rainer Zitelmann criticized that while people sang the national anthem, they had simultaneously pursued a policy that he labeled as anti-German for years. In his assessment, Merkel's and the SPD's migration policy was preparing French conditions in Germany. #Nationalhymne #Migration #Politik (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that the SPD parliamentary group in the Bundestag protested against the election of Tobias Rausch as the first AfD state parliament president in Saxony-Anhalt. She interpreted this as an action against democracy and the will of the voters and criticized that Boris Pistorius had sung the German national anthem in this context. The behavior was irrational; the SPD had lost its connection to democracy, she wrote. #Demokratie #Wahlen #Politik (translated)

Dr. David Lütke criticized an SPD protest march, which he described as supposedly spontaneous. He wrote that a team from "tagesthemen" had been present by coincidence; afterward, there was a staging with the Basic Law in hand and a skewed rendition of the national anthem. He called the whole thing a pathetic staging. https://t.co/qmjv6yE7lB #Protest #SPD #Grundgesetz (translated)

Manaf Hassan wrote that the SPD faction sang the national anthem at Bebelplatz, the site of the book burning, to protest against democracy. He described this as a real satire and claimed that the faction had fought against or avoided the flag and the anthem for decades. https://t.co/mFtGEzuUqJ #Deutschland #Demokratie #Politik (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that, in his opinion, the SPD bears massive responsibility for the ongoing decline of the German economy and its industrial base. What is being lost has been built over generations. He therefore believes that a national anthem on the same evening is inappropriate: those who witness the economic loss of the country should refrain from patriotic displays. Moreover, he accused those in charge of portraying themselves as victims. #Wirtschaft #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

Dieter Stein wrote that the Greens were trying to claim the German flag for themselves, while the SPD had sung the national anthem at a demonstration. He interpreted what would have been unthinkable years ago as a sign that patriotism was on the rise. #Patriotismus #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

Moritz Rödle wrote that the SPD faction sang the national anthem at Berlin's Bebelplatz. He pointed out that books had been burned there and that this happened on the same day that AfD politicians were elected to the presidium of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt with democratic votes. https://t.co/x4k0CMmFx8 #SPD #Bebelplatz #Demokratie (translated)

Ich hab mal 10 Jahre in den USA gelebt. Im Oktober 2001 war ich beim Footbowl-Spiel Oklahoma gegen Texas (14:3). Zu Beginn des Spiels wurde die Nationalhymne gesungen - ich sang sie mit und es fühlte sich nicht richtig an. Dürfte gestern Abend 9 Spielern im deutschen Team genauso gegangen sein. Eine Hymne zu singen und eine Hymne zu fühlen - dass kann Dir kein Paß der Welt vermitteln. Ich persönlich brauche keinen Spieler, wie Ronaldo oder Messi in einer deutschen Nationalmannschaft. Ich will jemand, wie Andy Brehme, Rudi Völler, Effenberg oder Klaus Augenthaler. Ich möchte eine Mannschaft, in guten wie auch in schlechten Zeiten. Ich habe kein Problem damit, wenn ein deutsches Team verliert aber ich habe ein Problem damit, wenn dort ein Team verliert, dessen Namen ich nicht aussprechen kann. Nennt mich altmodisch, aber es ist mir nicht möglich mich mit solch einem Team zu identifizieren. #Nationalmannschaft #Fußball #Identität
