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)

The debate about the seats in the House of Representatives of Berlin is unfolding, as unclear election results may lead to the AfD and the Left losing two seats that were previously thought to be secure, which is due to a seemingly insufficiently reformed law. #BerlinerWahl #Abgeordnetenhaus #AfD (translated)

Nico Lange contrasted two statements dated October 1, 2026, from Vladimir Putin and Friedrich Merz. Putin stated that European citizens must distinguish between Russia's position and that of current political leaders. Election results in the largest European countries, in his opinion, showed that this was already happening. Merz declared that Germany would not be divided by hybrid attacks or by propaganda in social media directed by Moscow's embassies. He also stated that slogans from the AfD and their Russian backers would not change that. #Merz #Putin #Europapolitik (translated)

Björn Höcke wrote on the Day of German Unity on October 3rd that unity means not only a common state but also the equal belonging of all citizens, regardless of their political stance. The pension debate conveys to people with a GDR biography that their life’s achievements count for less, and during the Corona measures, the state split society even down to families, he explained. He also criticized that vaccination status has been made a measure of social belonging. Höcke accused unspecified individuals of leveling accusations against millions of people for linking their voting decisions to the crimes of Buchenwald. He dismissed such comparisons as politically motivated slurs, including one made by an older man. Cohesion requires respecting the decisions of others, even if one disagrees with them, he wrote. At the same time, Höcke pointed to business closures, families' worries about the future of their children, and a trust damaged by political failure. War rhetoric intensifies these fears, he claimed. The AfD extends a hand to all who do not want to come to terms with this; the recent election results show that more and more people want to take their fate into their own hands, he wrote. Germany will also overcome the walls that are currently being erected between citizens, Höcke added. #Einheit #Zusammenhalt #Deutschland (translated)

Cem Özdemir is going crazy! He is currently declaring that he is in permanent discussions to organize a majority in the Federal Council for a procedure to ban the AfD! Is he serious? We, as AfD, win an election with 44% and his reaction is to simply want to ban the election winner? You can't just disenfranchise the people when you don't like their election results! #AfD #Bundesrat #Wahlen (translated)
