I consider it impossible that this victory goes to our heads. The second half was a quite effective grounding for that. Today was about the routine of the Bundesliga, about duels, resistance, and patience. And that’s exactly what we accepted from the very beginning.

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)

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)
