(2/4) Das ist die Hilfe für die Ukraine in diesem und in den Folgejahren aus Deutschland 👇. Meine Angabe in der Sendung (13 Milliarden p.a.) lag also noch zu hoch. Wichtig: Das Aufrechnen gegen Sozialleistungen, Renten, "Gürtel enger schneller" u.ä. ist insofern unkorrekt, weil die Mittel aus der Bereichsausnahme kommen, also komplett kreditfinanziert werden. Es gibt dafür keine Kürzungen im Bundeshaushalt. #Ukraine #Hilfe #Deutschland

But I suggest reading carefully. Here, all the aid provided since the Russian invasion is added up, as well as the aid that is to be provided in the coming years. And explicitly, funding for Ukrainian refugees in Germany is also included. (translated)

The 100 billion mentioned in the broadcast, which are also circulating on the internet, apparently are also supported by a document from the government. This one 👇. Here, the Foreign Office wanted to emphasize the level of German aid in light of the European debate. (translated)

Power struggle in the CDU of Saxony-Anhalt begins. The Young Union there demands the resignation of Sven Schulze as state chairman and the entire state board. Also: No government mandate, no majorities seeking with the Left or AfD. This is the position of Sepp Müller. (translated)

The political extremes are touching. Those who mocked this as "horseshoe theory" may now witness the horseshoe practice: #BSW founder #Wagenknecht extends a hand to AfD member Siegmund in Saxony-Anhalt. For this, she is willing to accept that her own party is being destroyed in Thuringia. (translated)

The power struggle of the leading @ElifEralpBerlin in the polls with the anti-Israel fringe of her party is a decisive moment, not only for the election campaign in Berlin: Its outcome may depend on the formation of a red-red-green majority in the capital, but surely one. (translated)

It gets even better when you zoom in on the small head behind Krings in the photo: That's @Birkenmaier, the Chancellor's chief of staff. And his face seems to tell the true story as well... (translated)

The enormous discontent with Merz in the CDU is taking on previously unknown forms. The state parliamentary group in Rhineland-Palatinate is canceling an already agreed visit to the Chancellery with a stern letter: "A personal exchange (...) requires a minimum of our view. (translated)

His FAZ was right: Günter Bannas was indeed the epitome of journalistic seriousness. He condensed his professional ethos in conversations with younger colleagues into two maxims. 1. We are always there and never belong. 2. A journalist does not get upset. A journalist (translated)

Vote on the #NIPT test in Parliament is surprisingly postponed! In the "Power Change" podcast episode from March 20 (which I link again below), @rosidaggi and I reported on a cross-party motion regarding #NIPT. It's about a blood test in the (translated)

The vote on the #NIPT test in Parliament has been surprisingly postponed! In the "Change of Power" podcast episode from March 20 (which I link below), @rosidaggi and I reported on a cross-party motion regarding the #NIPT. This concerns a blood test in the (translated)

If we have played out the German debate (players being too white or not white enough, players being too Christian or too Muslim or both), we could draw on the Brazilians: Because the evangelicals have displaced the Catholics, the Seleção has taken a step back. (translated)

Friedrich Merz has bought friends: the ministers president. In the new episode of "Machtwechsel," the political podcast you trust, we report: 🔶 How the chancellor not only issued a check to the states but also set up a standing order. 🔶 (translated)

Olaf Scholz coined the saying: "Every meeting of the Chancellor with the Prime Ministers costs a billion." His successor no longer has to open the bags: Friedrich Merz has issued a standing order to the states today. That and everything else you already... (translated)

This is in the tradition of the KPD, which until 1933 defamed the political center as "system parties" and saw the SPD, not the NSDAP, as the main enemy. For this mistake, communists paid bitterly in the concentration camps. How can one not know this and (translated)

When you ask the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt how this photo could have come about, which shows the CDU parliamentary group leader Guido Heuer and the AfD top candidate @UlrichSiegmund, you get the following statement: “The photo was taken because there were only two microphones and... (translated)

'Nočem umreti in nočem ubijati'

The "power change" conversation with Lars Klingbeil has sparked a debate in the left political spectrum. (translated)

Fresh episode "Change of Power". The political podcast you trust reports this time: 🔶 The secret roadmap of Black-Red: How the reforms are still supposed to succeed 🔶 How climate politicians in the Union are rehearsing the uprising against Katherina Reiche 🔶 Who in the CDU is facing a (translated)

Those who are interested in my journalism can watch TV this evening. On @ZDF, the documentary "In the Machinery of Power" will air at 20:15, in which, among others, I report something about the first year of the black-red federal government. Afterwards, however, on a different... (translated)
