The article accused reporter Anne Herzlieb of adopting the perspective of the AfD opponents in Saxony-Anhalt in a news lead from ZDFheute. The author criticized that two women, whom he referred to as "panic demonstrators," were given a voice – the same number as AfD politicians – and that Herzlieb had struck an indignant tone. In conclusion, he asked whether that could be called "false." #Medienkritik #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #DE (translated)

The author wrote that the Basic Law provides for parties to participate in the formation of political will. However, these parties have understood Article 21 as a mandate to appropriate the state for themselves. In his view, the sentence could also be read differently: parties belong to democracy. #Demokratie #Politik #Grundgesetz #DE (translated)

The author praised Eric Gujer's contribution in the NZZ as typically cool and wise.

The outrage over the breaking of taboos could hardly be greater, Gujer stated accordingly. #Demokratie #AfD #Politik #DE (translated)
