The AfD parliamentary group in Saxony announced that AfD MP Jörg Dornau had requested the state government to disclose the performance-related compensation of executives at companies in which the Free State has a stake (Drs. 8/7237). This includes, among others, Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, Leipzig Trade Fair, the SAENA Energy Agency, and the porcelain manufactory. Regarding the Leipzig Trade Fair, Dornau received information that there are 42.5 executives in full-time equivalents. The government refused to provide details on fixed salaries and bonus payments. According to publicly accessible sources, the AfD parliamentary group deduced that the CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, including bonuses, is likely to earn between 400,000 to 550,000 euros gross annually. The AfD also found years ago that savings bank executives in Dresden likely earn more than 50,000 euros per month on average (7/10922). Dornau accused the government of not disclosing the compensation of executives at companies with state participation of 51 to 100 percent because this would be difficult to convey to citizens. He assessed that some managers are not very successful but earn more than Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Dornau demanded that the salaries of the CEOs be made publicly accessible, like those of public broadcasting, to avoid the impression of a “CDU cliquishness.” #AfD #Sachsen #JörgDornau #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Landesbeteiligungen #Spitzengehälter #Transparenz #LeipzigerMesse #MitteldeutscheFlughafenAG #AfD #Transparenz #Sachsen (translated)

Martin Rothweiler, member of the state parliament, criticized that the established parties have completely isolated the AfD in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament. According to him, the party is not represented in the broadcasting council, the parliamentary control committee, or the advisory board of the state center for political education. As the faction leader, Rothweiler asked whether this is how the strongest opposition faction is treated. He also demanded that Mr. Klingbeil should comment on this when he complains again that the SPD candidate in Saxony-Anhalt failed in the election for the vice president of the state parliament. #BadenWürttemberg #Politik #AfD (translated)

"One must take risks, and then interesting new phenomena emerge that cannot be foreseen, that cannot be planned." Hegemann himself said about his working method in an earlier interview on Hessian Broadcasting: "One must take risks, and then interesting new phenomena emerge that cannot be foreseen, that cannot be planned." #Optogenetik #MedizinNobelpreis #Nervenzellen (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that the event in Bremen was surreal and embarrassing. According to his assessment, the ZDF today show hardly reported on it and only briefly conveyed the speech of the Federal President, without showing moving images. He asked whether the responsible parties at ZDF might have found the event embarrassing and whether they wanted to prevent the public from knowing about it. Vosgerau described the political system as a combination of two isolated circles: one, which he referred to as the political-media complex, that celebrated itself in Bremen, and a large group of politically uninterested, mostly well-off retirees. The latter, although they did not understand politics, trusted the authorities and were led to believe that criticizing politicians would lead back to a dark past. From his perspective, he attributed grotesque notions and dogmas to the political-media circle, such as those regarding subsidized wind turbines and Islamization. As a connecting force between these circles, Vosgerau referred to public broadcasting. The working population, especially young men, increasingly realized that they had no influence on this development and that their interests were being neglected, he wrote. #Politik #Medien #Gesellschaft (translated)

Andreas Dorfmann wrote that he reported live from Alexanderplatz in East Berlin on the night of October 2 to 3, 1990. His team from the German-language US broadcaster RIAS 2 in West Berlin broadcasted from several locations in the East and West on the night of reunification. That night and the following day remained unforgettable for him; with the unity, a dream had come true for him. As a native West Berliner and then moderator and editor, he experienced RIAS Berlin as the most successful station from the West in the East. The broadcaster was founded in 1946 by the USA in Berlin, targeted all Germans until its dissolution between 1992 and 1993, and was part of his professional career. Dorfmann wrote that he hated the Wall and the methods of the SED-DDR state. The freedom of West Berlin was primarily ensured by the protection of the United States; the USA also particularly advocated for reunification. For this, he remained grateful to the Americans. Dorfmann called for the values of the Western world as well as freedom of opinion and press to be defended against attacks. He wrote that there were once again many people in Germany who wanted to rob freedom and sovereignty, and suggested reflecting on this on the Day of German Unity. #TagDerDeutschenEinheit #DeutscheEinheit #Berlin (translated)
