Kolja Barghoorn painted a confrontation between SPD Interior Minister Georg Maier and Baumann. Maier initially accused the AfD of authoritarian thinking. Baumann replied that Maier did not understand the world, as he stood at 6 percent in Thuringia. Maier then asked if that meant he had to keep his mouth shut and repeated his accusation. Later, he again suggested that Baumann was trying to silence him. Barghoorn described Maier's argumentation as a straw man: Maier had made a false claim and then argued against it. Barghoorn also wrote that he was not surprised that nothing was working in Thuringia anymore, and that those addressed and their embarrassing domestic intelligence reports were no longer taken seriously. #Thüringen #Politik #AfD (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing Bavarian Interior Minister Herrmann, that the suspect in the shooting case in Berngau was a hunter and sport shooter. He allegedly shot two employees of the district office at his home during a routine weapon check the day before. According to Kussmann, the 60-year-old German legally owned ten firearms and had not previously come to the attention of the police. There were also no findings about him in police files or with the state protection and constitutional protection agencies. Investigations into the incident, in which a 45-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were killed, are ongoing. #Waffengewalt #Kriminalität #Sicherheit (translated)

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Baha criticized that journalists, in his opinion, downplayed the Left Party. He accused them of ignoring anti-Semitic currents, connections to criminal clans, and memberships in organizations that the Constitution Protection Agency classified as extremist and anti-constitutional. According to his portrayal, such aspects were treated as unproblematic if they aligned with one's own worldview. #Politik #Journalismus #Antisemitismus (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)

Peter Borbe wrote that Markus Lanz should have questioned Georg Maier as critically as Baumann did, if Lanz were a true journalist. Borbe claimed that Maier had been abusing his position for years to act against a political opponent. Furthermore, he stated that Maier was responsible for allowing a president of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, whom he believed unsuitable for the office, to remain in office because the president was acting against the AfD at Maier's behest. Borbe ultimately referred to Lanz as a non-journalist. #Journalismus #Politik #Medien (translated)
