Merz: Protect citizens from "false information" – that's freedom. From the so-called opponent of paternalism to the paternalist. "Please don't come at me with Free Speech" – this sentence hits hard. What the chancellor says about freedom is just as intrusive as it is anti-democratic. (translated)

Members of the Bundestag have ordered a total of 1,670 mobile phones and tablets for 1.5 million euros at the taxpayer's expense in 2025 alone.
