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)

A citizen from Brandenburg wrote that he is a German without a migration background, has been working for around 20 years in a well-paid job, owns his own house and a hybrid SUV, and pays many taxes. He should actually vote for the AfD because of this, he explained, but because he does not consider himself stupid, he will never do that. #Politik #Deutschland #Wahlen (translated)

Wolf wrote that shortly before the elections, increasingly positive news began to emerge. As an example, he mentioned a supposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine had confirmed that it was unaware of any such thing but was willing to cooperate, he wrote. He criticized this approach and asked whether a positive atmosphere was being deliberately created just before November 3, only to be reversed afterward. He also wondered whether people were truly so easily influenced and believed everything. #Wahlen2023 #Energiekrise #UkraineRustland (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Furkan Yildirim asked why Wall Street professionals are currently preparing for a potential severe stock market crash, in his view, even though the S&P 500 is just below its record. He cited data such as the Skew Index and pointed out that hedge funds are positioned defensively according to Goldman Sachs as they have been for years. In six weeks, S&P 500 futures worth $63.7 billion have been sold; at the same time, there are record bets on falling prices for small US stocks. There is particular demand for protection against extreme cases. Yildirim announced a macro deep dive with 20 charts from Goldman Sachs, BofA, Deutsche Bank, and TS Lombard. In it, he wants to address market positioning, possible parallels to 1987, 1994, 2000, or 2023, three scenarios weighted by him, and possible consequences for gold and Bitcoin. He asked whether he should record the video on the same day. #Marktanalyse #Investment #Wirtschaft (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Michail Swintschuk, despite his inclusion on the EU sanctions list in June 2023, apparently managed to travel from Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to Bosnian media, the founder of the Russian propaganda channel Rybar flew from Memmingen Airport to Sarajevo on October 2. The Bosnian portal Detector reported that he had been arrested a few days later in Montenegro and expelled for reasons of national security. During the arrest, the police seized high-resolution cameras, a drone, and several cell phones; it was unclear whether Swintschuk had these with him in Memmingen. Laska pointed out that, according to her account, Swintschuk is subject to an EU entry ban and is not allowed to enter or transit EU territory. Since a flight from Memmingen to Sarajevo leads over a Schengen external border, she asked how Swintschuk got to Germany, who issued him a visa, and whether his sanctioning had been recognized upon departure. According to Laska, there has been no confirmation of the trip by German authorities so far. She contrasted border controls at Memmingen Airport with those ordered by Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) at the Austrian border. There, small cars are searched for refugees, whereas Swintschuk, according to her account, departed from the airport. She also pointed out that the Bavarian border police, which conducts checks at the airport, was established in 2018 by Markus Söder. Laska expressed outrage over what Russian nationals are still allowed to do in Germany and ironically asked whether RT chief Margarita Simonjan could soon book a wellness vacation in Garmisch. #EUSanktionen #Russland #Einreiseverbot (translated)

Jeje questioned why the Electoral Public Ministry had not yet requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's slate. He stated that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) had a consolidated understanding that the use of churches and religious leaders to promote candidacies could constitute an abuse of power and lead to the annulment of the registration and the ineligibility of those involved. He cited a decision from the TSE as an example, according to which statements made from the pulpit during public worship and in front of a large audience indicated that the structure and religious authority had been used to promote candidacies, and not only for spiritual purposes (TSE. Rel. Min. Antônio Carlos Ferreira. AREspe 0600354-26.2024.6.26.0220). He also mentioned Article 24, Item VIII, of the Electoral Code, which prohibited parties and candidates from receiving donations, including through advertising, from charitable and religious entities. #Eleições2024 #JustiçaEleitoral #AbusoDePoder (translated)
