The journalist Zara Riffler labeled the CDU's attempt to control a parliamentarian's free decision as completely undemocratic. According to her, this strips the parliamentarian of personal decision-making freedom and effectively undermines their free mandate. https://t.co/TgOcB51J60 #Demokratie #Freiheit #Wahlen (translated)

Peter Borbe wrote under the hashtag #hardbutfair that the proposal to deny CDU members the right to participate before the election of the Prime Minister in Saxony-Anhalt would amount to the CDU's farewell to democracy. According to Borbe, anyone who denies elected representatives participation in an election in this way is an open enemy of the liberal-democratic constitutional order. (translated)

Peter Borbe criticized that Lauterbach referred to the AfD as a party that does not stand on the basis of the Basic Law and wants to overcome democracy during "hart aber fair." Borbe asked why Lauterbach was allowed to make such claims and wrote that the assessment of who stands on the basis of the Basic Law is not the responsibility of an SPD member of Parliament, but of the Constitutional Court. #AfD #Demokratie #Grundgesetz (translated)

Steffan Nethe criticized the proposal of the CDU parliamentary leadership in Saxony-Anhalt to leave the room together before the secret election of the Minister President. He wrote that the leadership wanted to prevent members from their own ranks from voting for the candidate of the strongest party. Nethe described the proposal as a sign of panic and accused the members of avoiding a parliamentary vote. In his view, this behavior contradicts democracy and the free mandate according to the Basic Law. He also stated that it further undermines trust in the CDU and is a "bankruptcy declaration for the rule of law." At the same time, he pointed out that the AfD is becoming stronger, in his estimation, with each election. #SachsenAnhalt #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

They should also preserve their personal reputation, wrote Canne. #Politik #Parlamentarismus #Ministerpräsident (translated)

The author described the alleged intention of the CDU to boycott the election of the Prime Minister in Saxony-Anhalt as a low point in the history of democracy. He cited the concern that members of parliament might vote in secret for Siegmund from the AfD, which he believed would correspond to the will of the voters. #Demokratie #Wahl #Politik #DE (translated)

Torben Braga wrote that leaving the room together undermines the principle of secret voting. While no one can be forced to vote, party discipline and group pressure effectively take away the possibility for members to vote covertly according to their conscience. He described this as a concerning circumvention of a constitutional principle. #Wahlen #Demokratie #Verfassung (translated)

The Left is currently discussing internally how far it can accommodate the Greens and the SPD, particularly regarding the inclusion of the controversial Neukölln representative Vanessa Emde, whose statements on Israel's right to exist contradict the party's position. #DieLinke #Antisemitismus #Berlin (translated)

A historic meeting! For the first time, not only the faction leaders came together, but 25 members of parliament honored us (all five from BSW, 20 from AfD). Jürgen Elsässer, the publisher of "Compact," is pleased: "A historic meeting!

Systems sprenger asked whether Bärbel Bas could not hold her ministerial office or party chairmanship due to a death and wrote that he found both understandable. At the same time, he criticized that she retained her parliamentary mandate and continued to receive 17,300.74 euros. A regular employee would get a paid day off in such a case, he wrote. Bas resigns from one or two offices but continues to earn a lot; he had already mentioned the topic. #Politik #BärbelBas #Gesellschaft (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann drew a critical balance of the day and referred to poll figures of 13 percent for the SPD, 14 percent for the CDU, and 4 percent for the CSU. He wrote that the SPD was dragging the Union along and accused its coalition partner of inhumane treatment of Labor Minister Bas after her resignation. Friedrich Merz had to respond and tried to present the results of a two-day retreat of the CDU's top committees as a plan for better times. However, Hartmann referred to these as reheated old ideas. In Schwerin, a woman was working against the AfD on a red-red-green government, which she wanted to lead as Chancellor after the next federal election, he wrote. The CDU remains committed to the "firewall," while Markus Söder wants to expel CDU members who voted with the AfD from the party. Karin Prien thinks the CDU is too conservative, Hartmann added. He saw bleak prospects for the party and wrote that the CDU had once again failed to recognize the signs of the times at the Adenauer House. #Politik #CDU #SPD (translated)

Markus Haintz wrote that he had dined or had drinks several times in recent months with representatives of the AfD and the BSW. He referred to a "dinner firewall" as strange in his statements to Sahra Wagenknecht and Fabio De Masi.

Haintz also added that he had already had lunch with members of the SPD. #Politik #Debatte #Gespräch (translated)
