Kolja Barghoorn ironically referred to the energy transition as a "masterpiece" and stated that instead of the promised cheap electricity, electricity prices are 16.4 percent higher than in 2021. He also pointed to billions in costs for grid bottlenecks and reserve power plants, battery storage that only lasts two hours at full capacity, and hydrogen, which has been considered a future technology for years. Barghoorn also criticized a new market created by the state, in which power plant operators would be paid for 15 years to provide electricity in case of outages from wind and solar power. He cited Blackout News as the source for the mentioned data. #Energiewende #Strompreise #Energiepolitik (translated)

Support also comes from the state; Andreas Minnich, a member of the National Council representing Governor Mikl-Leitner, emphasizes: “Lower Austria is increasingly becoming a state for solar energy in addition to wind energy; this hybrid park is a model for other projects in the region. This way, we can further strengthen the security of supply in our country with domestic electricity.” #Solarpark #ErneuerbareEnergien #Niederösterreich (translated)

Charlotte Rocher accused Mathilde Panot of spitting on the symbol of the fight against breast cancer and crossing, in her opinion, a new line in the conflictualization of society. She wrote that, despite the contempt she claimed to feel for Panot, the gesture had personally affected her: her mother had learned in May that she had breast cancer. Rocher defended the pink ribbon, believing it could remind that awareness and screening save lives, and expressed her hostility towards LFI. #CancerDuSein #Sensibilisation #RubanRose (translated)

GFrei.News referred to values of 30.5 percent for the AfD and 17.5 percent for the CDU and urged the CDU to abandon its "firewall." Otherwise, the author warned that the party could face further loss of significance. He described the CDU and SPD as career parties and claimed that advancement opportunities depended on conforming to party leadership and avoiding internal criticism. The author accused the CDU of using offices and positions to provide for its members. As evidence, he cited 25 lost CDU seats in Saxony-Anhalt, 12 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and 68 nationwide, with the latter relating to current polls. According to his portrayal, state parliament representatives received between 10,000 and 11,000 euros monthly, federal parliament representatives up to 17,000 euros; additionally, there were up to 6,000 euros for office equipment and 1.24 million euros in party funds for every million voters. GFrei.News also criticized travel expenses, retirement provisions, and opportunities for employees and stock trades that, in his view, were available to the representatives. According to the author, the CDU supported Merkel and then Merz despite what he considered bad policies.

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)
