Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann announced that he will be at NIUS on Monday. He is especially looking forward to Harald Martenstein in the show "Sofa der Mehrheit."

Furthermore, he has found another "Goal of the Week" and invited his viewers to the show. #Montag #CDU #Politik (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki wrote that the day provides an opportunity to think about how societal division can be prevented. He regarded polarization and accusations of fascism against the CDU as dangerous. In his assessment, a constitutional crisis in Saxony-Anhalt, should the factions block each other on candidates, would not have been a good alternative. Everyone is called upon to deal with the election results maturely. This also applies to the AfD and the new parliamentary president, who has announced an impartial conduct of office, Kubicki wrote. This already arises from constitutional law and practice; the president will be judged accordingly, if necessary, in court. Kubicki accused the SPD of slipping into reflexes from the 2025 federal election campaign. In the end, this only benefits the political fringes, as it did before. #Gesellschaft #Politik #Wahlen (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)

The author wrote, referring to Julian Reichelt, that the result of the AfD in the election of the President of the State Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt indicates that at least four CDU representatives have openly deviated from the party line.
