Florian Warweg reported that he had attempted to recover a deposit of 5,000 euros that he had made for access to the Federal Press Conference (BPK) following a ruling by the Berlin Regional Court. After the BPK withdrew its appeal against the judgment from July 2023 in March 2026, this ruling became final. It awarded Warweg access and the right to ask questions at the BPK like a member. According to Warweg, he submitted documents for the refund in early May 2026. However, the deposit office of the Tiergarten District Court additionally required a certified copy of the judgment with a finality stamp; a notarized copy was not sufficient. He received no response for months to his request at the Regional Court. An inquiry from his lawyer, Markus Kompa, also initially yielded no results. In August, the deposit office instructed him to resolve the matter within two weeks, otherwise the application would be considered resolved. Warweg pointed out the pending response from the Regional Court; this statement was initially accepted. In further inquiries, he claimed to have been referred between different phone numbers and locations of the Berlin II Regional Court. He asked the X community about experiences with deposit matters and applications for judgments with finality stamps in Berlin, as well as for tips on how to achieve the refund. #Bürokratie #Recht #BerlinerJustiz (translated)

Florian Warweg accused the Tagesspiegel correspondent and member of the editorial board Daniel Sturm of having linked the Austrian publicist and satirist Karl Kraus with Joseph Goebbels. Warweg wrote that Kraus coined and popularized the term "Journaille" in 1902 in issue 99 of his magazine "Die Fackel." With it, he criticized sensationalist and irresponsible journalism that debases language. According to Warweg, Claudia Wittig had used the expression in the sense of Kraus. Sturm, on the other hand, placed it in a Goebbelsian tradition, which Warweg described as defamatory. He left open whether Sturm had done this deliberately or unintentionally. #Journalismus #KarlKraus #Satire (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that the federal government has since confirmed that pensioners in Russia have 200 euros deducted from their pensions each month. When he inquired at the government press conference in September, he was initially told that this was merely his claim. As evidence, Warweg referred to a subsequent statement from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs regarding questions from the government press conferences on September 28 and October 5, 2026. The ministry stated that fees would be deducted for transfers of statutory pensions from Germany to accounts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Russia. The bank justified this with higher compliance risks and additional auditing and processing efforts. Despite efforts, alternative payment methods that could avoid the fees have not been found. According to the statement, statutory pensions would be transferred free of charge within the SEPA area. For payments outside this area, the benefit provider bears the costs up to the commissioned financial institution; fees from further correspondent banks are not covered by the German Pension Insurance or the Pension Service. Affected individuals could have their pension transferred to an account in another country, provided they meet the personal requirements and can set up an account there, according to the ministry. Warweg asked why the ministry initially labeled the deduction as an unfounded claim and then acknowledged it about two weeks later. He noted that the ministry had provided the supplementary information, while the Foreign Office, despite a commitment, had not sent any follow-up and later declared itself not responsible. The inquiry was about what advice it would give to affected German pensioners in Russia. #Rentner #Bundesregierung #Russland (translated)

Florian Warweg criticized that a phrasing stating that something cannot be ruled out represents a fundamental denial of journalistic work. At the same time, he wrote that it cannot be ruled out that Hans von der Burchard is acting as a Moscow influence agent with the aim of completely destroying the reputation of Politico. #Journalismus #Politik #Medien (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the federal government had supported the development of video games with 240 million euros. However, the Ministry of Research does not track how many games were released and sold or how many jobs were created as a result. When Warweg referred to criticism from the Federal Court of Audit at the federal press conference, he was informed, according to his account, that the report was not currently public and therefore could not be commented on. Warweg countered that the relevant report had long been publicly available. #Videospiele #Bundesregierung #Transparenz (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the EU maintains the sanctions against the German journalist Hüseyin Dogru. According to Warweg, the EU Council does not consider the presumption of innocence to apply to Dogru, and press freedom is only granted to him in "good faith." The Council judges this itself, wrote Warweg, and described it as absurd. He also referred to his current article on the Dogru case. https://t.co/aXby9zecEX #Pressefreiheit #Rechtsstaat #Sanktionen (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that Chancellor Friedrich Merz referred to the attribution of the Leipzig "drone attack" to Russia as "judicially sound" and described the incident as an armed attack that originated exclusively from Russia. The Foreign Office, on the other hand, spoke of a presumed attack at the federal press conference. Warweg stated that he asked about the contradiction but did not reflect the answer in his contribution. #Russland #Drohnenanschlag #Politik (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that he did not want to share a certain form of whataboutism. At the same time, he asked how Friedrich Merz evaluates his own meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu after the Chancellor, through the government spokesperson, described the visit of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to Vladimir Putin as "immoral." According to Warweg, Netanyahu is wanted by international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Merz based his moral judgment of Schröder's meeting on the "immeasurable suffering of civilian victims" in the war, Warweg wrote. This argument could also be applied to Merz's encounters with Netanyahu: At the meeting in December 2025, the number of identified dead children in the Gaza Strip was already at 20,179, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), along with 10,427 dead women. Warweg also referred to a meeting between Merz and Netanyahu on February 12, 2024, in Jerusalem, when Merz was still the opposition leader. The night before, the Israeli Air Force had targeted a refugee camp in Rafah; more than 100 people, including numerous children, lost their lives in the attack. #Whataboutism #Kriegsverbrechen #Moralität (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the federal government, especially the government spokesperson and the Foreign Office, became entangled in contradictions regarding the alleged drone incident in Leipzig during the federal press conference.

Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)

Florian Warweg asked the government spokesman whether the Chancellor had made new commitments amounting to billions for cooperation with the Ukrainian government in clarifying the attack on Nord Stream during his last meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. To justify this, he pointed out that the federal prosecutor's office assumes a state Ukrainian involvement. Warweg then asked his readers how the response had turned out. #Ukraine #NordStream #Politik (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that the Green leadership, with Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak, would present their guiding proposal "Our Plan for Germany" at the federal press conference today at 11 a.m. He asked what an opposition party with about 15 percent planned for the republic, which he sees as troubled, and what they hoped to achieve from it. He also questioned whether Brantner and Banaszak remembered that the Greens had been involved in the previous government until May 2025. Warweg invited his readers to submit questions. #Deutschland #Politik #DieGruenen (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that he asked at the Federal Press Conference about the alleged espionage of former BND chief Hanning for a foreign intelligence service. When asked whether the federal government knew for whom Hanning had spied, the government spokesperson replied no. According to Warweg, the spokesperson did not confirm a comprehensive exclusion of Israel and Azerbaijan, but stated: "I cannot and will not exclude anything." #Spionage #Bundesregierung #Sicherheit (translated)

Florian Warweg accused the federal government of behaving without empathy and cynically. He wrote that the spokesperson of the Foreign Office had stated in response to his inquiry about an outstanding delivery due to a deduction of 200 euros for German retirees in Russia that the office was not responsible and owed nothing. Warweg attributed the deduction to an EU directive. https://t.co/tDvwLtvhhQ #Bundesregierung #Rentner #EU (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that Chancellor Merz spoke about the AfD and its Russian backers in his NATO speech the week before.

Florian Warweg summarized today's federal press conference. He wrote that he had asked, among other things, for concrete evidence of Friedrich Merz's claim that Russian backers stand behind the AfD.

Florian Warweg characterized Sigmar Gabriel as the head of the Atlantik-Brücke and a member of the supervisory board of Rheinmetall, which he presented as one of the central beneficiaries of the Ukraine war.

Florian Warweg wrote that the Center for Political Beauty, which he described as being close to the Greens and which describes itself as the "storm gun of humanism," has publicly called for sending him compromising information about John Lucas, the BSW state chairman in Saxony-Anhalt. In conclusion, Warweg pointed out that the group can be recognized by its actions. #Humanismus #Politik #Transparenz (translated)

Florian Warweg referred to an exclusive article that explored the question of why German retirees in Russia have been having 200 euros deducted from their monthly payments since 2026, even though they are still alive. The article includes statements from an affected individual, legal background information, explanations from the banks, as well as a submission from the federal government that Warweg described as questionable and cynical. https://t.co/mInI7E1sPP #Deutschland #Rente #Finanzen (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that since 2026, German retirees living in Russia would have 200 euros deducted monthly from their statutory pension. The responsible bank justified this with EU money laundering controls, he reported. He asked the Foreign Office if it was aware of this, what advice it had for those affected, and on what legal basis payments from the German pension insurance to German retirees in Russia were subjected to such controls. #Rente #Russland #Geldwäsche (translated)
