Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that FernetBuehler had previously been a civil servant and had been working as a business consultant for many years. He caught his attention on X with reasonable contributions and economic expertise. According to Boeminghaus, FernetBuehler not only describes problems but also understands economic contexts and asks uncomfortable questions. Boeminghaus asked how long one would still watch the economic foundation crumble and where the uprising of entrepreneurs, high achievers, and others who keep the country running was. A conversation with FernetBuehler offers clear language and economic expertise instead of whitewashing and political clichés, he wrote, recommending people to take a look at it. https://t.co/BQwyF9oge0 #Wirtschaft #Unternehmertum #Beratung (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus praised Daniel Stelter's appearance on Markus Lanz. He wrote that Stelter had conveyed economic reason and expertise there; the clarity had seemed almost unreal to him. That such arguments appeared like a sensation on German television showed, in his view, how far Germany had strayed from economic normality. Boeminghaus thanked Stelter and recommended watching the show. https://t.co/cLvPHJTWuy #Wirtschaft #ÖffentlichRechtlich #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)
Vera Lengsfeld wrote that the CDU is at its end. Instead of turning around at the last minute, the party, in her view, continues to entangle itself in denunciation and contempt for the voters. https://t.co/ZcUnDRcWA3 #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)
Dr. Gunter Link wrote that Russia and the USA were negotiating a restart of Nord Stream. He described this as peace-oriented diplomacy and pragmatic politics. Trump and Putin were the winners while the Germans paid the bill, Link wrote, using a derogatory term for Germans. https://t.co/zDisLpPPff #NordStream #Diplomatie #Politik (translated)
Baha criticized that others only changed their positions now and under the most miserable starting conditions, and that they were coming to their senses. He asked whether it had been worth fighting against his own party members beforehand. #Politik #Veränderung #Parteien (translated)
Mathias Priebe wrote that Donald Trump orders millions of tons of diesel directly from Vladimir Putin. In light of media reports about an extreme shortage of diesel and gasoline in Russia, he asked whether these reports had been propaganda. He also referred to Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries deep in Russia, which were supposedly successful, and wondered if Trump would watch this happen. Priebe stated that the deal shows that EU sanctions are now only harming the economy itself and advocated for abandoning what he believes to be failed and ineffective sanction packages. #Priebshow #Friedenstreiber https://t.co/O1xFVlkQzq #Trump #Putin #EU (translated)
Felix Perrefort wrote that an AfD politician wanted to commemorate the anniversary of a right-wing extremist attack with leftists but was prevented from doing so. Subsequently, the politician sent out a press release featuring the state parliament's coat of arms, in which he criticized the intervention and emphasized a Jewish-German culture. Perrefort described the accusations against him of a "power takeover" or an "attack on the institutions" due to the letterhead as a reversal of reality. Family Minister Karin Prien publicly promoted this reinterpretation, according to his account. Perrefort accused her of imposing a fantasy world against all reason and described it as terrifying, unacceptable, and insane. #Politik #Demokratie #AfD (translated)
The author of "savings book enemies" wrote that Friedrich Merz is 70 years old and has indicated in earlier statements that Germany needs a tough course change in migration, taxes, and energy. After almost two years in office, Merz must realize, in his opinion, that his party stands at 17.5 percent – a historic low – and he could go down in history as the most unpopular Chancellor of all time. Furthermore, the author blamed Merz for the end of his party as a people's party and stated that reasonable politics is not possible with the SPD. He asked what Merz has to lose and suggested throwing the SPD out of the government and tackling domestic issues in a minority government. According to the author, there are middle-class majorities for nuclear power, taxes, and migration. #Politik #Deutschland #FriedrichMerz (translated)
Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)
Nico Lange criticized a proposal by AfD and BSW in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt regarding peace talks. He wrote that Russia had attacked Ukraine and should not be rewarded for it. Ukraine has been ready for an unconditional and comprehensive ceasefire since March 2025, but Russia has not been so far. Therefore, pressure must be exerted on Moscow, Lange said. Arms deliveries do not necessarily extend the war, he argued. Germany is supplying air defense systems and ammunition that protect people and infrastructure. Ending support could weaken Ukraine's defense and make further waves of migration to Germany more likely. Lange also considered a complete lifting of sanctions against Russia before negotiations to be diplomatically unprofessional. The federal government supports a negotiated end to the war; it is crucial to move Russia towards a sustainable ceasefire and serious talks, he wrote. #Frieden #UkrainischerKonflikt #Diplomatie (translated)
The enemies of the savings book asked whether Daniel Stelter could not be invited to every public broadcasting talk show and referred to him as a voice of reason as well as an economic fact-checker in real-time. #ÖffentlichRechtlicherRundfunk #Talkshow #Vernunft (translated)
It would have been an easier story for us with Christian Titz on the sidelines. We would have known better what to expect. Now we are fishing somewhat in murky waters. Sander admits in response to BILD's inquiry: “It would have been an easier story for us with Christian Titz on the sidelines. We would have known better what to expect. Now we are fishing somewhat in murky waters.” We have left no stone unturned and have also looked at this game on site. We analyzed it properly with the boys and prepared them accordingly. The team remains the same. That is the only constant you have. It is clear that in this phase, with colds and the weather, there can be a few things that can also happen relatively quickly and at short notice. But we will bring a strong team onto the pitch. #1FCMagdeburg #Hannover96 #SandroWagner (translated)
Markus Haintz described a joint proposal from the AfD and BSW factions in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament as an example of issue-oriented politics. According to his contribution, the proposal was titled "Peace Talks Instead of Expanding the War in Ukraine." #Politik #Frieden #Ukraine (translated)
The X-Account Autumn Princess wrote that Voigt had withdrawn his lawsuit after the TU Chemnitz revoked his PhD in January and rejected his appeal in July. The account asked why Voigt still held office and criticized that he did not await the court ruling. As a possible justification, the account mentioned time, energy, the citizens, and the country, but assessed the withdrawal of the lawsuit as an attempt to quietly end a hopeless matter. Referring to Voigt's 2008 dissertation on "Bush vs. Kerry," the account demanded that he should have given up both his title and his office. The post was marked as satire. #Politik #Doktorarbeit #Chemnitz (translated)
"In a democracy, one must speak with each other. One cannot hide behind an undemocratic firewall." She hopes that the CDU will return to reason at the federal level, added Weidel. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Bundespolitik (translated)
Björn Höcke congratulated Tobias Rausch for being elected as the first AfD politician to the president of the state parliament. Höcke wrote that it used to be a parliamentary custom for the office to be given to the strongest party after an election and described the implementation of the voters' will in Saxony-Anhalt as a return to political normality. At the same time, he stated that a neutral conduct of the state parliament president was no longer a given in other German parliaments, including the Bundestag. Höcke saw it as a positive sign that Rausch received 48 votes, while AfD and BSW together have 44 seats. From this, he concluded that members of other parties had acted reasonably. He expressed hope that the blocking stance could be resolved and Ulrich Siegmund could be elected as the first Minister President in December. #AfD #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW wants to end the "firewall" to the AfD. In her view, the strongest faction in a state parliament should also provide the president of the state parliament; with a voter approval of 44 percent, that is self-evident. This parliamentary normality should no longer be disregarded in relation to the AfD. The BSW had promised a reasonable approach to the AfD and an end to the firewall before the election and is now implementing this, she wrote. Wagenknecht described the comparison of the AfD candidate for the presidency of the state parliament with Hermann Göring as the low point of the debate and as a trivialization of National Socialism. There is no "Göring 2.0" up for election. Anyone who relativizes the greatest crimes committed by Germans in this way has lost all compass, she wrote. #Politik #Landtag #AfD (translated)
Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD headline which stated that the government requires 1,000 officials for two new taxes. He estimated the annual costs of the civil service for taxpayers in Germany to be around 242 to 250 billion euros. According to him, over 117 to 130 billion euros are spent annually on salaries, wages, and allowances, as well as around 65.9 to 67 billion euros on retirement benefits. Betschinger described the state as a bureaucratic monster that constantly requires more resources and stated that the extent has long since become unreasonable. #Bürokratie #Steuern #Deutschland (translated)
