"Do you want to go somewhere else? Then say it." Looking at the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU chief Markus Söder called on dissenters within the Union to leave. "Anyone who votes for the AfD does not have much of a future with us." Söder suggested that this probably stemmed from a deep wound within the CDU faction. After these events, Söder would find it "surprising" if the AfD did not also lead the government in the state. "It would be absolutely necessary. The voters in Saxony-Anhalt have already made a very clear statement." "Given the results, you can't say that. I just think that anyone considering doing something like that should have the backbone to make it public." "Also immediately move in the political direction." "Because I find that quite despicable." "Therefore, everyone who is playing with fire (...), should know that in the end it will probably lead to extreme AfD dominance, that the polls will turn into results." "If the second democratic government fails within a few years after the traffic light coalition, it would be a huge blow to democracy." "I appreciate him, I respect him, and I also find that very unfair." "Friedrich Merz remains Chancellor." CSU chief Markus Söder has again backed Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and campaigned for the CSU politician Ilse Aigner as Federal President. "The only personnel matter that personally interests me is not the chancellorship, but I would like Ilse Aigner to become Federal President if at all possible. I am very committed to that." #CSU #CDU #Politik (translated)

Those being removed are already the ones selected for positions by Xi," warns Jan Švec, an expert on Chinese politics from the Institute of International Relations, in an interview with Seznam Zprávy. "We can see differences in that those who were closer to Xi may have lower penalties, for example, they are just removed from their position. But loyalty alone is not enough for political survival," says Švec. After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions, "After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions," explains Švec. With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected. According to Švec, it can essentially be said that there is a "lost sixth generation": "With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected." #Čína #politickéčistky (translated)

Libertarec wrote that it is hard to believe that people have been convinced to support the abolition of the mandatory RTV fee, as this would have been impossible in his opinion two years ago. He identified the mistake as having directed all forces to defend Golob, Janković, Bratušek, and others whom he linked to the mafia, and therefore, according to him, attention was lacking for the most important question. https://t.co/ADPJqHJUIa #RTV #prisilnina #politika (translated)

The SDS thanked the voters who, in its opinion, understand that their vote is the strongest democratic tool. It stated that the campaign once again demonstrated the influence of propaganda on public opinion. According to its words, some represented the parliamentary investigation of political officials as political police, while the political police in the past resorted to imprisoning, persecuting, and killing people. SDS added that Slovenia has a lot of work ahead for greater resistance to propaganda in order to reach the level of developed democracies. #demokracija #volitve #propaganda (translated)

Oskar Mochnik assessed that Legia played a very good match, and Wisła did not score a goal for the first time this season and created few clear opportunities. He praised the defense and the entries of Augustyniak, which—he wrote—helped the team gain space. He added that Rodado performed poorly alongside him, while Piątkowski and Deziel played consistently. The author wrote that with a 2:0 lead, Legia controlled the match and was closer to increasing the score than conceding a goal. He was also pleased with the goals from Adamski and Zjawka. He admitted that he was concerned about Adamski's form, but in the second half, the player reminded him of the one from spring and deserved his goal for his work on and off the ball. Mochnik pointed out that five U-21 players appeared, although some played better and others worse. Before traveling to Kraków, he wrote that Cracovia might not be in form, but he did not remember the last time Legia won there without greater problems. He added that if the current form is maintained, the three points should return to Warsaw. He also predicted that Legia would remain unbeaten in the league at least until mid-October and expressed confidence in Marek Papszun. #LegiaWarszawa #Ekstraklasa #PiłkaNożna (translated)

Mateusz Rokuszewski from Meczyki.pl assessed that it was the worst round of the season in terms of refereeing, with a large number of glaring errors. He described the matches of Śląsk against Lech and Pogoń against Korona as poorly officiated, though he noted that there were no glaring mistakes in them. He accused the referees of chaos, including incomprehensible cards and whistles. He stated that it is difficult to point out more than one referee who rose to the occasion, referring to a meme with Jan Urban and Karol Czubak. Rokuszewski added that the pressure related to the actions of the Referees' College could have deepened the referees' problems. He warned that if the situation persists, the consequences will be very serious. #sędziowanie #piłkaNożna #spory (translated)

The Formula One patient stated that if Max Verstappen does not win any races by the end of the year, that day could have been the last opportunity for him to appear on the podium side by side with engineer GP. According to the author, it seemed that Red Bull would agree with McLaren on GP's early departure and would not keep him in the team against his will. If that were to happen, it would be characteristic for GP and Verstappen to have last stood on the podium together in Singapore, at a circuit that Verstappen said had not favored him for many years. The author labeled it as the best conclusion to one of the most successful partnerships between a driver and an engineer in F1 history. #F1 #Verstappen #RedBull (translated)

Ewa wrote that attorney Roman Giertych asked Nawrocki several questions. He asked if he is the governor of the MAGA movement in Poland and who and for what reason had been holding him back so much that he hadn’t spoken for three days, even though he had previously been heard shouting loudly. Giertych also asked if Nawrocki was dependent on Donald Trump and his people. Ewa added that she compares this to an addiction to white pouches placed by the gums. #Polska #MAGA #polityka (translated)
