For two days, working groups were to discuss municipal political issues. #Kommunalpolitik #AfD #Bundestag (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen criticized the media's coverage of 112-year-old Kirsten Schwalbe and her deceased husband being listed in the Bovrup registry with DNSAP's membership details. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had set the record for the oldest Dane ever just the Wednesday before, and that she had shared anecdotes from her life through TV MIDTVEST. Isaksen emphasized that Nazism was a terrible ideology, but did not believe that justified the media confronting a 112-year-old with matters from 85 years earlier. She wrote that several media outlets had contacted Schwalbe, and that a journalist from TV MIDTVEST had mentioned that the encounter with the issue had left her in a vulnerable state. According to Isaksen, the Bovrup registry contained information about individuals who had been deceased for at least ten years. She therefore believed it should be investigated how Schwalbe's name had become publicly available and pointed out that political affiliation was a particularly sensitive piece of personal information. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had subsequently told TV MIDTVEST that she felt bad about having been a member of the party, did not sympathize with the Nazis, and regretted not having investigated what she was signing. According to Isaksen, Schwalbe had explained that the signature was needed to allow the couple to buy a house, and that she had let the men handle such matters back then. Isaksen praised TV MIDTVEST for taking good care of Schwalbe and for giving her the opportunity to tell her version. She wrote that she hoped the media coverage had not caused Schwalbe to withdraw from the public eye and encouraged people to instead cherish her stories. #KirstenSchwalbe #Danmark #Mediekritik (translated)

The author wrote that, depending on the interpretation, it is either a very bad or a very good joke that the SPD and the Greens had warned the CDU for years against any cooperation with the AfD, but are now striving for a coalition in the German capital with individuals whom he described as the worst anti-Semites. #Politik #Deutschland #Koalition #DE (translated)

The author wrote that the SPD had reached an agreement with the Left Party in Berlin despite an announcement from Merz. He criticized that a distinction was made with the AfD, while cooperation with left-wing extremists was possible, and called this a betrayal of the people. He also referred to a new video from that day. https://t.co/6okief51Kv #Politik #Berlin #SPD #DE (translated)

Markus Frohnmaier accused Friedrich Merz of claiming without evidence that the AfD was financed by Russia.

Two AfD politicians from North Rhine-Westphalia, Matthias Büschges and Jeremy Franosch, engaged in a fencing match in Düsseldorf, which they described as a private matter and born out of a beer spirit, while a power struggle has been raging within the state association of the AfD for months. #AfD #Mensur #NordrheinWestfalen (translated)

Claudio Casula reported that a man at the Rewe checkout had pointed at three bottles of Kalinka kefir for his wife the night before and said that the manufacturer Müller had connections to the AfD and donated to the party. Casula replied that he did not want to base his purchasing decision on the political stance of the manufacturer and that donations were allowed. The man then ended the conversation. Casula lamented that he had been politically lectured while shopping without being asked. In retrospect, he wondered if he should have reacted more strongly or given the man the middle finger, and asked if others had experienced something similar. #Einkaufen #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

Siegvarg asked how betrayed the CDU must feel. SPD and the Greens had labeled a CDU vote with the AfD as a "gateway to hell," he wrote, but are now forming a coalition with a party to which he attributed connections to criminal clans, even though a Kenya coalition would have sufficed. https://t.co/0xPa1GPDNa #Politik #Koalition #CDU (translated)

The author wrote that outside of Neukölln and organized crime, no one understands this. As a result, Germany is at the mercy of the AfD, he warned. He predicted that the party would win the next federal election by a landslide and derogatorily referred to it as a group that is considered right-extremist in many places. https://t.co/AEf3rylPzG #AfD #Rechtsextremismus #Bundestagswahl #DE (translated)

Kutil Tona ironically wrote that he would not be able to get to the USA due to jokes about Donald Trump, of which he claims to have written more than Trump has read books. He would rather not go to Russia because he feared tea flavored with novichok. In Germany, he would have to wish that the AfD does not come to power, otherwise, according to him, he would be arrested just for the correct pronunciation of the word democracy. Upon returning to the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš would not sell him even a sausage made from separate meat as punishment. In conclusion, he added that at least the Poles are friends. #humor #politika #satira (translated)

Carsten Jahn wrote that Friedrich Merz completely ruled out a resignation and referred to himself as a firewall against the AfD. According to Jahn, this means that Merz and the CDU only want to cooperate with the SPD, Greens, and Left. He claimed that this would continue to generously support Ukraine and the EU, promote left-wing extremism, increase the state quota and taxes, and disregard democracy. #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Markus Frohnmaier criticized Friedrich Merz for ruling out a resignation and for referring to himself as a "firewall" against the AfD. According to Frohnmaier, as long as Merz remains in office, the AfD continues to gain more support every week. He announced that he intends to replace Merz, regardless of Merz's wishes. #Politik #AfD #Rücktritt (translated)

Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that the message from the Kremlin, claiming that Ukraine's capitulation will bring peace, has been echoed by Donald Trump for over a week, and for months by European supporters of Putin, including AfD, Marine Le Pen, and Grzegorz Braun. She urged not to be swayed by this narrative and asserted that Russian domination does not bring peace, and that "Russkij mir" means tyranny and war. #Putin #Ukraina #propaganda (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki accused the SPD and the Greens of deliberately breaking down the last taboos regarding organized left-wing extremism in collaboration with the Left. He wrote that both parties believed they could attain the chancellorship sooner or later by doing so. While there are repeated calls for a firewall against the AfD, the SPD and the Greens themselves are becoming part of a fire. According to Kubicki, Germany is to be polarized between a Red-Red-Green coalition and a völkisch front. The left-wing camp could thereby present itself as the last bastion against the political opponent in light of a possible AfD government and gain power. He referred to this as a dangerous plan worth fighting against daily. He stated that the goal should be prosperity for all instead of equality in misery. #Politik #Deutschland #Wohlstand (translated)
