Mentions and quotes

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Tobias Rausch from the AfD was elected as the president of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt with 48 votes. In addition to the votes from the AfD and the previously announced support from the BSW, Rausch received four more votes from other parties. Hartmann asked whether this gives Uli Siegmund such optimism that he will be elected as prime minister in December. Among the CDU, the mistrust towards the faction has now become a regular occurrence. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that two German researchers had received the Nobel Prize for Medicine, but criticized the fact that there had been no special ARD broadcast and no corresponding programs in public broadcasting. He asked when the prize winners would be invited to talk shows and received by the Chancellor or when the Federal President would award them with a medal. Their names were hardly known, and education had no importance in Germany, Hartmann judged. #Medizinnobelpreis #Bildung #Deutschland (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that, according to the Ifo Institute, the German automotive industry is still in crisis. The mood has never been this bad this year, while the outlook remains at a low level. Furthermore, the industry association VDMA reported a real decline in order intake in the machinery and plant engineering sector of five percent compared to the previous year. Hartmann criticized that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is transferring 1.3 billion euros to Ukraine from the current budget to secure energy supply in winter and to finance current investments. According to Hartmann, Merz has lost all sense of Germany's needs. #Automobilindustrie #Deutschland #Wirtschaft (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that a former Turkish president contradicted the statement of North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst, who claimed that Turkish guest workers built Germany after the war. Hartmann referred to Wüst as "fool of the week." https://t.co/D0Mo1eeAD5 #Lügen #Politik #Türkei (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann announced that the next day he would be sitting with Alexander Kissler, Ralf Schuler, and Julian Reichelt on the "Sofa of the Majority" at NIUS LIVE. Since the three, to his knowledge, did not know how to play Schafkopf, a Bavarian card game, the round would instead discuss politics. Hartmann mentioned topics like Merz in Ukraine and the proceedings of the Day of German Unity in Bremen. To conclude, he wanted to present his "Goal of the Week." #Politik #Diskussion #SofaZeit (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is regularly booed and whistled at during his appearances in Germany and is by far the most unpopular chancellor of a federal government. Hartmann cited reasons such as Merz accusing German workers of not working enough, not keeping his promises, and allowing the cost of living to rise. However, during his reception in Kyiv in the morning, Merz was cheered warmly, Hartmann wrote. He had promised Ukraine additional financial and military aid worth billions. According to Hartmann, German taxpayers are by far the largest supporters of Ukraine – because that is what Merz wants. #Bundeskanzler #FriedrichMerz #Deutschland (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Franz-Josef Strauß had died on October 3, 1988, when Germany was still divided. Strauß had long foreseen the collapse of the socialist system. Hartmann added that the generations of politicians in reunited Germany had set in motion developments that, in Strauß's view, would have turned him over in his grave. #Deutschland #Geschichte #Politik (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that the directly elected Bundestag member from his constituency, Sören Pellmann from Die Linke, had joined the left-wing extremist association Rote Hilfe. He pointed out that the Berlin top candidate Elif Eralp had also been a member and had therefore found herself in a difficult position. Hartmann asked what message Pellmann wanted to signal with this step and explained that Die Linke had nothing in mind with its democratic concept of the rule of law. Furthermore, he asked who votes for the party and who forms coalitions with it. #DieLinke #Bundestagswahl #Rechtsstaat (translated)

Our second show "Two Brights" on NIUS is coming up. Starting Friday noon, Gunnar Schupelius and I will discuss, among other things, the term "vulgar democrats," with which Frank-Walter the divider, Federal President Steinmeier, has once again demonstrated his democratic deficit. And we will evaluate the campaign trip of Hendrik Wüst to Turkey, to win Turks in NRW for the CDU. With all our tax money. We look forward to seeing you. #Politik #Demokratie #NRW (translated)

The CDU ministers have a knack for selecting their salary showmen. Sven Schulze brings in Didi Hallervorden and Wüst a comedian who makes bad jokes about colleagues Merz and Söder. All of this in Istanbul and in the current CDU discussion about a chancellor swap. #CDU #Comedy #Politik (translated)

Once again, a traditional brewery is closing. In my time as a pub owner (photo from 1978), there was still the saying: A country that cannot support its innkeepers is not worthy of being called a nation. Times gone by. https://t.co/8ua0SEpHWP #Traditionsbrauerei #Kultur #Bier (translated)

Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner beklagt eine wachsende Polarisierung im Bundestag, Sie macht dafür die Abgeordneten der Linkspartei und der AfD verantwortlich. Sie droht sogar in einem Podcast bei Funke Medien damit,“Wenn es eskaliert,schmeiße ich die ganze Fraktion raus.“ Ich glaube , dass Frau Klöckner durch Ihre herrische Amtsführung erheblich zu dieser Eskalation beiträgt. #Politik #Bundestag #Eskalation

Der ÖRR auf der Anklagebank. Der Strafprozess gegen die ehemalige Intendantin des rbb beginnt im November. Patricia Schlesinger hat sich demnach jahrelang ein süßes Leben mit dem Griff in die Anstaltskasse gegönnt. Die wurde mit Gebührengeldern zuverlässig gefüllt. Die Aufsichtsgremien schauten weg oder spielten mit. Und wir sollen glauben , dass das ein Einzelfall in den neun Landesrundfunkanstalten der ARD gewesen sein soll. #ÖRR #Rundfunk #Korruption

Diese Woche war die Entscheidung zur Wahl des „TOR DER WOCHE“ ganz einfach. Beim Wettbüro hätte man mit diesem Kandidaten keinen Gewinn machen können. Staatsminister Philipp „Fipsi“ Amthor (CDU) spielte in der ZDF-Doku Inside CDU eine tragische Rolle. Er traf jedes Fettnäpfchen. https://t.co/l2RpFBdaPs #Wahl #Politik #ZDF

Robert Habeck hat sich für Caren hübsch gemacht. War sogar beim Friseur. Mehr muss man nicht wissen. #Caren #Habeck #Friseur

Noch nie hat die griechische Fußball- Nationalmannschaft gegen Deutschland gewonnen. Da musste erst Jürgen Klopp kommen, dass es im elften Anlauf klappt. Aber im Ernst: wir haben keine Besseren. Warum sollte es beim Fußball anders aussehen wie in der Politik. Wir spielen international dicht mehr die erste Geige. #Fußball #Deutschland #Griechenland

The same procedure as every monday ……Freue mich auf das Sofa der Mehrheit am Montag bei NIUS LIVE mit Alexander Kissler@DrKissler, PaulineVoss@ Pauline—Voss und Julian Reichelt @jreichelt . Wir diskutieren über den Zerfall der CDU und der Koalition und über Die Linke in Berlin. Die deutsche Hauptstadt vor der Übernahme durch die SED? Für Zündstoff ist gesorgt. #Politik #Berlin #CDU

Heute vor 48 Jahren wurde die taz erstmals am Kiosk verkauft. Am 17.10 2025 lag zum letzten Mal eine gedruckte taz am Kiosk aus. Sie wurde eingestellt. Vermisst sie jemand? #taz #Medien #Journalismus

Die Berliner SPD will sich zu Sondierungsgesprächen mit der Mauerschützenpartei Die Linke treffen. DieGeilheit auf Teilhabe an der Macht ist wie erwartbar größer als Haltung oder Moral. Die Bundespartei wird ,wie immer in solchen Fällen, auf die Autonomie des Landesverbands verweisen und die CDU an die Brandmauer nach rechts erinnern, weil das ja im Koalitionsvertrag steht. Und Friedrich Merz wird für die Situation vom sensiblen Lars Verständnis zeigen und zur Amtssicherung die Reformen reformieren. Wann wird dieses Schauspiel endlich beendet? #BerlinerSPD #DieLinke #Politik

In der „Weltwoche“ wird Harald Schmidt als Bundespräsident vorgeschlagen. Interessant ist, was mein Freund Harald mir zutraut 😇🫢 https://t.co/2Ezd2UYXnZ #Bundespräsident #HaraldSchmidt #Weltwoche
