Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz expresses concern about potential defectors from the AfD and reaffirms that the CDU will not elect extremists to public office, especially with regard to the election of the first AfD state parliament president in Saxony-Anhalt. #CDU #Merz #AfD (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that Friedrich Merz had pledged before the election to adhere to the debt brake and to refrain from tax increases. After the election, he imposed record debts on the citizens, raised taxes, and continuously introduced new levies, according to Gorus. Gorus also accused Merz of going against his promise to put an end to leftist politics, claiming he has been pursuing socialist redistribution policies and expanding the state since taking office. Gorus stated that Merz would go down in history as the most brazen liar in a German government position since the founding of the Federal Republic. #Steuern #Politik #Merkel (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that the former BND chief is in pretrial detention and the former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is being monitored by the Office. Both had worked for the same Swiss company after their terms, the ownership of which was said to be unknown. Hans-Georg Maaßen reported his activities to the Interior Ministry; according to Laska, an examination found no concerns. She referred to a Bundestag document on this matter. Moreover, Laska wrote that a former head of the Chancellery and a former minister-president met in Baku with representatives of Putin, without the chancellor being aware of it. A former chancellor had worked for a Russian supermarket chain after activities in the Russian energy sector. According to Laska, there had been outrage in such cases, but no one was responsible. Anyone leaving a public office returns their official ID and keys, but takes their knowledge with them, wrote Laska. According to her account, Germany relies on former officials behaving properly; no controls are in place. #Deutschland #Politik #Vertrauen (translated)

The author wrote that, for the first time since 1945, right-wing extremists hold state offices in Germany. The AfD politicians Rausch and Tillschneider have been elected president and vice president of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, respectively. He blamed BSW and CDU for this development, but put a question mark by the CDU and accused both parties of lacking sense and decency. #Rechtsextremismus #Politik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Andreas Püttmann wrote that CDU voters can no longer be sure that their vote won't bring extremists into the highest state offices. This development had been apparent for some time. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Union is now falling below 20 percent. #CDU #Rechtsextremismus #Wahlen (translated)

Armin Laschet bei Miosga über die AfD: „Eine andere Frage ist, ob wir die in Staatsämter bringen und mit denen koalieren. Und da kann mir kein Politikwissenschaftler vorschreiben, dass ich diesen Typen Ministerämter oder ähnliche Verantwortung für öffentliche Ämter gebe. Das wird die CDU nie machen. Nie im Leben!“ Das ist einfach kein Punkt, den du setzten solltest, wenn du als Union einen Finanzminister mit Antifa-Vergangenheit ermöglicht hast. Und weiterhin eine Arbeitsministerin trägst, die gegen die Arbeitgeber kämpfen möchte. #CDU #Politik #Deutschland

Dnes bylo vor dem Hanseatischen Oberlandesgericht das Urteil gegen mutmaßliche Mitglieder der rechtsextremen Terrorgruppe „Letzte Verteidigungswelle“ erwartet, während gleichzeitig eine Debatte über die Eignung einer Frau für das höchste Staatsamt entbrannte und der Müll auf dem Mond thematisiert wurde. #Rechtsextremismus #Urteil #Migrationspolitik
