I consider every single medical professional involved in such things as a doctor who should not practice in a reasonable society. (translated)

Parents who hand their small children something like this are, for me, on the same level as parents who expose their children to full smoking. Although, actually, they are even worse. (translated)

The CDU is "only in parts" a people's party. After such a statement, any CDU Chancellor should actually resign with a sense of responsibility. (translated)

If the SPD and the Greens form a coalition with this party, the properly understood "Never again" must mean that no one else will coalition with the SPD and the Greens. (translated)

My comment on Merz's statement: Germany experienced a historically unique detachment from reality by the Chancellor during these moments. A man who no longer understands the world, who can no longer explain the world, and to whom the world no longer wants to listen. Merz is (translated)

The warning signals that Russia plans to attack NATO territory are denser, more public, and significantly more cross-governmental than the warning signals in January 2022 regarding a possible invasion of Ukraine. (translated)

Whoever wants a wealthy people does not tax capital gains. Whoever wants a dependent people invents perversities like the capital gains tax. (translated)

These signatures seal the end of the CDU. Without any exaggeration. ALL CDU ministers support Merz. A chancellor with historically low approval ratings, who is responsible for a union with well below 20 percent in the polls, who has a (translated)

If Friedrich Merz has even a little respect for the sovereign, for his office, for his party, and for himself, he will pose the question of confidence in the Bundestag this week. It just can't go on like this. (translated)

Not least, this victory created the prerequisite for the historically commendable fight against slavery. In 1807, the British Parliament banned the slave trade. From 1808 to 1867, the Royal Navy freed approximately 150,000 enslaved Africans. Over the 60 years of (translated)

Stasi documents show that Sven Hüber was registered as an unofficial collaborator. However, parts of the file are missing. Hüber himself claims he knows nothing about a file. Crucial: If he concealed an IM activity after reunification, his (translated)

Cem Özdemir in Spiegel: The man of the Green candidate in Saxony-Anhalt was, in the 1990s, for a time a dyed-in-the-wool neo-Nazi, but gets away with the assessment: "slightly veered to the right." Remarkable. (translated)

Everything that Alice Weidel said today about domestic policy in the Bundestag could have also come from Angela Merkel in the year 2003. (translated)

The AfD needs exactly one more voter than the CDU, Left, SPD, and Greens combined to achieve an absolute majority of seats in the state parliament. In the current ZDF projection, only 0.2 percentage points are missing for that. If this projection were already the final one. (translated)

What a historic vote of no confidence against all the parties that have governed in the last 20 years. (translated)

The party is scratching at an absolute majority in possibly the most AfD-friendly federal state; everything speaks for them. If they do not win an absolute majority, a strategic problem cannot be denied. Even in the East, it is successful under massive effort and the most favorable conditions. (translated)

"The Germans and the Russians have spoken a common language on so many levels for such a long time. It was canceled by Putin." (translated)

Kein Deutscher sollte mehr als 25 Prozent seines Einkommens an den Staat abdrücken müssen. Das sollte als bescheidene Minimalforderung gelten. #Steuern #Einkommen #Deutschland

The German state has actually managed, with its legislation and activist judiciary, to categorize incitement to hatred (!) as parking violations for millions of people. (translated)
