GFrei.News reported that Hubert Aiwanger was found dead in a hotel room in Berlin-Mitte on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the age of 55. The article referred to him as the chairman of the Free Voters, Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs, and Deputy Prime Minister. Aiwanger had still attended an appointment in Schwandorf on November 2 and was also publicly active the following day. On Wednesday morning, he canceled a scheduled interview due to feeling unwell. He also did not appear at a Free Voters event in Berlin; Bavaria's Digital Minister Fabian Mehring represented him. Later, Aiwanger was no longer reachable by phone. According to media reports, the party leadership had asked the hotel to check on him. The exact cause of death, the time of death, and the circumstances of his discovery were not publicly known, according to GFrei.News. The Berlin public prosecutor's office and the 6th murder commission of the state criminal police had initiated an investigation into the death. The article emphasized that the involvement of a murder commission did not mean that investigators were assuming a homicide. Citing the Tagesspiegel, GFrei.News wrote that there were currently no indications of third-party involvement, and among investigators, a natural or health-related cause was more likely suspected. An autopsy had not been officially confirmed. Statements from Aiwanger's circle regarding possible gastrointestinal issues or cold-like symptoms were not a medically published diagnosis, the article stated. Claims of a heart attack, stroke, suicide, poisoning, an attack, or a connection with medications or vaccinations had not been substantiated so far. According to GFrei.News, Prime Minister Markus Söder called Aiwanger's death an "absolute tragedy"; Parliament President Ilse Aigner spoke of a great loss. The article recalled that Aiwanger had shaped the Free Voters for over two decades and had led them into the Bavarian Parliament for the first time in 2008 and into the state government in 2018. Parliamentary group leader Florian Streibl stated that Bavaria would be a different place without Aiwanger. Secretary of State Tobias Gotthardt was to initially take over the official duties in the Ministry of Economic Affairs as a representative. Aiwanger's permanent succession as Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and state and federal chairman of the Free Voters was still open. According to the article, he left behind his partner Tanja Schweiger and two children; no information was available regarding a burial or memorial service. #HubertAiwanger #Bayern #FreieWähler #HubertAiwanger #Bayern #Politik (translated)

GFrei.News sharply criticized spicy food as an imported cultural ill and contrasted it with the variety of European cooking, brewing, vinification, and baking traditions. The author claimed that strong seasoning is primarily prevalent in poor, hot regions to mask the taste of spoiled food and prevent food poisoning. Since the early 2000s, this practice has spread in Germany through Indian restaurants, internet challenges, and television chefs. Furthermore, GFrei.News wrote that spicy food doesn’t really taste good but causes pain and the release of endorphins through capsaicin. These have a pain-relieving and mood-enhancing effect and can be addictive, the author claimed, comparing them to opium. In conclusion, he recommended a European meal with wine or beer, dessert, and espresso, and jokingly suggested having the waiter hit you afterward to release similar endorphins. He disparaged spices from poorer countries. #Essen #Kultur #Kulinarik (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that there was no discernible reason for the vehement verbal attacks by the plagiarism hunters. In its own assessment, a failed interview triggered a series of accusations and outbursts, which led to further consequences — including being uninvited as a speaker at the AfD. With the deletion of the account, the online drama came to an end; what was actually behind it remains open, GFrei.News wrote and mentioned SprachPhilo. #Plagiat #OnlineDrama #Skandale (translated)

GFrei.News asked why Audi is investing billions in Georgia in the USA while the company plans to cut more than 7,000 jobs in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. The author cited high energy costs, labor overhead, taxes, bureaucracy and regulation, as well as what he considers unpredictable politics as reasons. According to GFrei.News, the German government has already largely destroyed several areas of technology in which Germany had been a leader. The author mentioned nuclear energy, fracking, magnetic levitation technology, genetic engineering, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, and identified the automotive industry as the next affected area. Moreover, GFrei.News wrote that the automotive industry consists not only of Audi but also of numerous suppliers, many of which are already insolvent. These suppliers are often central employers and bearers of prosperity in small towns. The development is not primarily attributed to globalization, China, or other scarcely controllable forces, but rather to decisions made by their own government, which are supported by mainstream media, according to the author. #Autoindustrie #Investitionen #Deutschland (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that the media portrayed the so-called "Smurf spray" as an effective means of self-defense. According to the author's account, it only leaves a difficult-to-wash-off blue color and does not stop an attacker with a machete. For another hypothetical scenario involving Ali, Mohammed, and Mustafa, who, according to his phrasing, wanted to collectively commit a "cultural misunderstanding," he wrote that the spray load is only enough to mark one person while the others could laugh about it. He mockingly referred to previous recommendations like keeping distance and playing the harmonica. In the future, he wrote, the description of the perpetrator could change from "a man" to "a Smurf." #Selbstverteidigung #Humor #Gesellschaft (translated)

GFrei.News accused the chief editor of t-online, Lars Wienand, of having released a torrent client on X, which, according to the account, showed that Wienand had downloaded leaked data from the AfD and subsequently disseminated it. The account saw this as possible violations of § 202d StGB, § 42 BDSG, § 106 UrhG, § 126a StGB, and § 23 GeschGehG and stated that Wienand had boasted about it online. In addition, GFrei.News asked how many hundreds of reports had already been made to the police against him and criticized that someone would download and disseminate a data leak. https://t.co/fUfeWmnGWa #Datenhehlerei #Datenschutz #Urheberrecht (translated)

GFrei.News described a fabricated story in which Dieter discovered two burglars in his garage and called emergency services. After being informed that no patrol cars were available, he called again and claimed to have shot the burglars. In response, several patrol cars, a special task force, and two ambulances arrived at the garage; the burglars were caught in the act there. When a police officer confronted Dieter about his false claim, he referred to the previously mentioned unavailability. For such an incident in reality, GFrei.News estimates that Dieter could face a penalty for faking a crime and abusing emergency services. Accordingly, fines and deployment costs could amount to several thousand euros. #Notruf #Einbruch #Sicherheit (translated)

GFrei.News reported that on October 19, an anonymous archive site went online that has over 421,179 emails, around 281 gigabytes of downloadable data, as well as internal documents and complete mailboxes. The data has been published on the linked website, which browsers have since flagged as a potential phishing site. In fact, the anonymously operated, poorly made, and AI-generated website, according to GFrei.News, contains no documents but merely offers a BitTorrent link to download the entire dataset. The publication is part of a campaign with another website. The author reported that an account announced new messages from the alleged hacker every few hours, including the banal information that they had used AI for analysis. GFrei.News also found the claim that the hacker had been offered 100,000 euros to take down the website to be little credible, as nothing was being published there and the torrent link was already available. International Cyber Digest has been publishing excerpts from the emails for several hours to highlight scandals, wrote GFrei.News. Half of the content mentioned has been known for years; the rest concerns ordinary internal party procedures, such as legal fees, donations, or the handling of misconduct by members. Such cases are dealt with by state arbitration courts, according to the author, who referred to the tens of thousands of AfD members. GFrei.News suspected that the individuals behind this were not German leftists: the original text was written in English and only partially translated into German by machine. Additionally, the initially stated registration in Wyoming was later changed. The hasty publication and repeated contact attempts at International Cyber Digest suggested, in the author's view, more of amateurs than professional hackers. The author expected that the publication would have no consequences and described internal party email communication as largely routine and limited to official processes. #AfD #Hacking #Cybersecurity (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that the German nurse Sonja Nientiet was kidnapped on May 3, 2018, in Mogadishu, where she had worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross. A guard helped the kidnappers; a Kenyan colleague who was also abducted was able to escape. Since then, Nientiet has been allegedly handed over to jihadists. Citing a report from Bild, GFrei.News wrote that the Federal Intelligence Service had determined Nientiet's whereabouts about two years after her kidnapping and a rescue operation was being prepared. The Special Forces command had trained for this, US services had provided reconnaissance information, and the USA had wanted to deploy Black Hawk helicopters. The then-current KSK commander traveled to Mogadishu for reconnaissance. According to the report, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas stopped the operation because it could end in a bloodbath and cost Nientiet or involved soldiers their lives. GFrei.News criticized that Nientiet had not returned to Germany during the terms of Annalena Baerbock and Johann Wadephul. Nientiet's mother Christel passed away in 2024 at the age of 84, without knowing whether her daughter was still alive. In spring 2025, Nientiet asked for help in a video and reported a deterioration in her health. In June 2026, the federal government refused to provide specific information in the Bundestag regarding her health status, whereabouts, or possible initiatives for her release, GFrei.News wrote. The author called on Wadephul to explain what he was specifically doing for Nientiet's return. #SonjaNientiet #Geiselnahme #Bundesregierung (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the planned flooding of the lignite mining areas of Hambach and Garzweiler is deliberately destroying the German economy and ending 100 years of affordable energy security. Plans from 1977 and 1995 had intended to fill exhausted open-pit mines with water from the Rhine and to renature them. Now, the approval for lignite mining is being revoked, although, according to the author, there is still enough coal there to supply Germany for another 100 years. Lignite is almost as cheap as nuclear power and is also used for briquettes, lignite dust, and fluidized bed coal, wrote GFrei.News. A fast-track approval process has been initiated for flooding the mining areas still containing coal, and the construction of a 45-kilometer long pipeline has begun at a high three-digit million amount. By 2030, this will destroy a resource wealth worth around 1 trillion euros, according to the author. A later resumption of mining would take decades and be too expensive. GFrei.News referred to the flooding as the permanent destruction of energy security and fuel worth 1 trillion euros. The excavator 293 will also be decommissioned: the vehicle weighs more than 14,000 tons, is 225 meters tall, and is the largest land vehicle in the world. It has been in operation for 30 years and is a symbol of German engineering and national pride, the author wrote. GFrei.News accused the state of "state terrorism against its own people" and wrote that the consequences would be far worse than the explosion of NordStream. The author hoped that the AfD would come to power in time to prevent the plans. #Energiewende #Braunkohle #Energiesicherheit (translated)

GFrei.News referred to democracy as a facade for corruption and criticized that citizens could only vote for the Bundestag every four years and for state parliaments every five years. Regardless of the election results, parties declared themselves winners and claimed a mandate to govern, the author wrote. Subsequently, they would use parliamentary procedures and loopholes to gain power and circumvent the will of the voters. GFrei.News accused politicians from established parties of profiting from high salaries, expensive hotels, chauffeurs, and private flights after taking office, and leading a taxpayer-funded life like super-rich individuals. The author also mentioned secure pensions after just a few years in office, appearances on talk shows and company visits, as well as a lack of attention in parliamentary debates. Laws would be passed behind closed doors with a government majority; committees and debates were merely a stage act for the cameras, GFrei.News claimed. The political leadership had made the state prey and was failing its mandate to the populace, the author wrote. He called for a shift to direct democracy, where citizens could stop harmful laws and remove politicians before the end of their terms. Finally, GFrei.News criticized that leaving out a tie with a suit was careless. https://t.co/FDN07LHPIX #Demokratie #Politik #Korruption (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the operator of a pharmacy in Bielefeld does not want to serve AfD supporters. The author considered the announced loss of sales to be of little relevance outside the immediate area but estimated it as significant with an AfD voter share of 30 percent and referred to a video that had since been published in which the operator had relativized her statement. As another detail, GFrei.News mentioned a website where businesses could reportedly report losses in sales due to their political stance. The author wrote that the directory was run by a financial advisory for LGBT and mocked its orientation in this context. He described the website as a boycott list for conservatives and stated that he had wanted to develop a boycott app anyway and would use the directory as a first data basis. https://t.co/bTJua2RDly #Bielefeld #AfD #Boykott (translated)

GFrei.News predicted that the war in Ukraine would not last much longer. Russia had severely damaged supply and logistics in western Ukraine through months of drone, cruise missile, and rocket attacks. In the upcoming winter of war, Ukrainian soldiers could only be supplied, in their estimate, if NATO sent substantial goods. At the same time, support for Ukraine would dwindle, GFrei.News wrote. With the exception of Friedrich Merz, the Western powers were weary of the war; the idea that Ukraine could defeat Russia with the delivery of certain weapons was a fantasy. The USA was also withdrawing: Trump had abandoned Zelensky and demanded a regime change to end the war. Without the support of the USA, the remaining contributions were insufficient to continue the war. For an end to the war, GFrei.News expected that Russia would receive almost all or all of the demands it had made at the start of the war. The now two million dead and even more injured would then, in the author's view, have been in vain. The government would still claim that the outcome was worth the effort and that the support was right and important. Additionally, Germany would invest another 50 billion in the reconstruction of Ukraine, although according to the author, the country had nothing to do with it. Russia and the USA would plunder the country and profit from it, while Germany would not. https://t.co/9Hva91GSkb #Ukrainekrieg #Russland #NATO (translated)

GFrei.News reported that Sven Schulze leaves the room in fear as soon as Ulrich Siegmund enters, and speculates that CDU representatives also left the room during the election of the Minister President. This could prevent a CDU representative from voting according to their conscience, as required by the Basic Law, according to the article. The tactic could work in the first two ballots, provided that the BSW does not vote for Siegmund, GFrei.News explained. A majority of all members of the state parliament is needed for this. In the third round of voting, however, only a majority of those present is required, which is why the AfD would then surely win – unless the CDU is back in the room and Schulze has control over his representatives. GFrei.News claimed that Schulze and his ministers could remain in office throughout the entire legislative period if the CDU successfully stays absent, since the AfD would need a two-thirds majority for a new election. Schulze is apparently trying to continue governing for five years without an election in this way, the account wrote. https://t.co/VLjBRwCQuR #Ministerpräsidentenwahl #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

GFrei.News wrote to Markus Söder, stating that in Bavaria it would take a little longer, but in the long term, the CSU would also strive as a junior partner for a coalition with the AfD. The author cited as the reason that the CSU was not doing its job well. #CSU #AfD #Bayern (translated)

GFrei.News asked why there were talks of intimidation and referred to the dismissal as a decision by the new boss. The account wrote that such dismissals should occur more frequently in the future. Additionally, it stated that it looked forward to a time when fear and panic spread in the studios of public broadcasting and at the GEZ. There, it would be recognized that it was coming to an end and that there would be no job market for employees whom the account accused of lying and theft. https://t.co/zU8HRioNI3 #Einschüchterung #Kündigung #ÖRR (translated)
