The Union has miscalculated in two ways. They believed that without them, no government could be formed, as the left forces are too irrelevant and the AfD too incompetent. But with this, they could push their own agenda, which is why it was tolerated, in contrast to the Left and the Greens. (translated)
Alice Weidel, one of the leaders of Alternative for Germany (AfD), said in the Bundestag that deliveries of Russian gas and oil would help German consumers and businesses. #RosyjskiGaz #Ukraina #Energetyka (translated)
Since the AfD cannot come to power without the CDU, the threat to democracy comes solely from the Union, which does not have a very friendly relationship with the Basic Law anyway. (translated)
Claudia Wittig, MdL, wrote that she was harassed today by ZDF reporters and criticized the reporting as, in her opinion, deceitful, one-sided, and designed to provoke outrage. She attended an event of a local peace alliance, to which all parties in the state parliament had been invited. BSW and AfD had confirmed their attendance; among the guests were Gabriele Gysi and Tino Eisbrenner. According to Wittig, reporters were waiting for her with a running camera at her private vehicle, even though she had declined an interview in writing. For the article, a photo of her and Ulrich Siegmund is to be reused, which originally was part of a group photo with other leading candidates. Siegmund did not participate in the event. Wittig accused the media of primarily scandalizing a supposed closeness to the AfD and not reporting on the content of the event. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Faktenchecker (translated)

If I had to create a ranking of the threat to democracy posed by parties, then CDU, CSU, FDP, and AfD would all come before the Left Party. And when it comes to the threat to social security and the healthcare system, the SPD ranks higher as well. In foreign policy (translated)
The author wrote that politicians from the AfD and BSW had met and spoken with artists and peace activists in Magdeburg – even in places where this is considered an imposition in political everyday life. He asked what could come of it. #Magdeburg #Politik #Frieden (translated)
The Union is working on a permission architecture to coalition with the AfD. That's why it uses discursive mimicry against the Left. The words it cannot find with the AfD are used against the left. (translated)
A German Shepherd wrote that a reporter had asked Dennis Hohloch what human dignity meant to him. Hohloch's answer was "genius" and, in the author's opinion, exposes the years of defamatory campaigns against the AfD.

Anyone who wants to cooperate with the AfD, even covertly in a secret vote, should say so openly and leave their own party.

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW, together with the AfD, pushed for a motion in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt for diplomacy and an end to the sanctions against Russia. She said that this marked the first time a German parliament has called for peace negotiations, an end to escalation, and a stop to the billions in aid to Kyiv. Wagenknecht described the motion as the fulfillment of a key campaign promise of the BSW. The party rejects the firewall and aims to use majorities in the state parliament to improve people's lives through substantive cooperation with all democratically elected forces, she wrote. She intends to discuss the next steps in Saxony-Anhalt with Claudia Wittig, the deputy chairwoman of the BSW parliamentary group in Magdeburg. #Frieden #Diplomatie #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
In Berlin, a red-green-red alliance is taking shape. Söder: "The red front is here!" Söder: "Honecker 2.0!" Frei: "An unnecessary game with fire!" Volkmann (JU Chief): "A cultural break!" In Saxony-Anhalt, AfD, BSW, and anonymous CDU members are doing what they want. CDUCSU: (translated)
The enemies of savings books wrote that the Union underestimates the monthly loss of jobs, the strength of the upcoming wave of inflation, and the general loss of prosperity. In his opinion, these developments would significantly reduce support for the war in Ukraine. He wrote that the Union believes it can successfully distance itself from the AfD with its stance on Ukraine, but the data suggests otherwise. According to a survey he cited by n-tv, 53 percent of Germans now demand a reduction in financial resources; the trend is strongly rising. #Politik #Wirtschaft #UkraineKonflikt (translated)

The X author Gr@ntlɘr criticized that BILD AM SONNTAG had dedicated a two-page, romanticizing photo spread to the Green mayor of Munich, Dominik Krause, and had hardly expressed any criticism.
