Daniele Ganser wrote that Trump demanded new elections in Ukraine on October 10, 2026, in front of reporters at Joint Base Andrews. Trump said that Zelensky should hold an election and a new president should be ready to end the war with Russia. According to Ganser, Trump explained that Zelensky was causing problems for the USA and the world. Ganser pointed out that Zelensky had been in office since 2019 and that his presidency ended in May 2024. A term usually lasts five years. At the same time, Ganser wrote that Zelensky had imposed martial law and Ukrainian law prohibits presidential and parliamentary elections during that time. He asked whether Trump would now let Zelensky fall and accused the USA of fueling the war for years with arms deliveries. #Ukraine #Trump #Selenskij (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)

The player-coach criticized that the VAR turned a correct decision into a wrong one. Such a thing only happens in the Bundesliga, he wrote. In general, the VAR is a good thing, but it is useless if the referees do not know the rules. https://t.co/0C0gEexmMB #Bundesliga #VAR #Fußball (translated)

"Regardless of 'left' or 'right', everyone must adhere to rules. If individuals do not do this, the police will intervene. As was evidently also the case in Steyr, proportionately and correctly, as the evaluation of the 'Body Worn Cameras' of the intervening police officers demonstrates," said Karner. #Journalismus #Polizei #Rechtsextremismus (translated)

Ansgar Schledde explained that in the local elections in the Hannover region, more than 3,000 outer ballot envelopes were opened prematurely in 14 out of 20 surrounding municipalities. He regarded this as a systematic violation of §59 of the Lower Saxony Municipal Election Code. The envelopes should have remained unopened and sealed; instead, ballots with the names and addresses of the voters became visible and were repackaged. The votes were then counted without verification, Schledde wrote. The procedure was ordered by the regional election office via email and was only stopped by the state election director four days before the election. Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) commented cautiously on the incident; supposedly, no impact on the election result was to be expected, criticized Schledde. He supported the objection of Bundestag member Dirk Brandes and announced a complete clarification as well as a legal examination. For the state elections in 2027, postal voting documents must be designed to prevent manipulation, and the rules must be adhered to. Those who violate the election regulations must face consequences, Schledde wrote. https://t.co/uzZye3DAPi #Wahlen #Demokratie #Niedersachsen (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)

Sparbook opponents wrote that ZDF Aspekte explained that a wealth tax would not lead to rich Germans emigrating, as this is already prevented by the exit tax. The author questioned this statement and referred to More founder Christian Wolf, who stated that he had paid more than 30 million euros in exit tax to emigrate to Cyprus. Wolf said that the tax office was tightening the rules to prevent people with corporate shares from leaving, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible. #Vermögenssteuer #Reichtum #Zuwanderung (translated)
