Key Pousttchi criticized Lars Klingbeil and other politicians, lamenting that people had become accustomed to individuals he portrayed as underperforming and politically motivated. He referred to Klingbeil as an Antifa member, a graduate of a narrowly focused political science program, and an SPD politician who had climbed the ranks through internal party networks. Pousttchi attributed to former Finance Minister Jörg Kukies a degree in economics, a doctorate in finance with a focus on venture capital, six years as state secretary under Olaf Scholz, and his previous role as the head of Goldman Sachs in Germany. He wrote that Kukies was a pragmatist. Klingbeil had allegedly pushed him out of office to become finance minister himself, subsequently filling the three highest levels of the finance ministry with party loyalists. This, Pousttchi claimed, had resulted in civil servants losing their chances for advancement and being less able to perform their work well. He stated that things could change immediately, but not with politicians like Klingbeil, Annalena Baerbock, or Philipp Amthor. He added that Friedrich Merz and Hendrik Wüst were no better than Klingbeil. #Politik #Deutschland #Bildung (translated)

The article by Steffen Martus discusses how social media has become a public tribunal that encourages spontaneous judgment and shaming, using the example of a beach chair affair involving the politician Philipp Amthor and the associated wave of outraged reactions. #SocialMedia #Politik #Hasskultur (translated)

The article explains how social media has become a public tribunal that fosters outrage and populism through the "reaction machine," exemplified by the beach chair affair of Philipp Amthor, which triggers a broader discussion about the difficulties faced by the political center in dealing with waves of digital hate. #SozialeMedien #Politik #Populismus (translated)

Systemsprenger criticized Bundestag President Julia Klöckner for deeming Tobias Rausch's dual role as AfD state president in Saxony-Anhalt and AfD general secretary to be inappropriate and for calling on him to resign from his party office. As counterexamples from the CDU, the account mentioned Friedrich Merz as federal chairman and current federal chancellor as well as Sven Schulze as prime minister and faction leader. Franziska Hoppermann is the general secretary, responsible for operational business and party organization, as well as federal treasurer. Michael Hose is the deputy general secretary and is primarily responsible for the East German state associations. Furthermore, Systemsprenger listed Hendrik Wüst, Boris Rhein, Michael Kretschmer, Daniel Günther, Kai Wegner, and Gordon Schnieder, who, according to the post, are each prime ministers or governing mayors and at the same time state chairs of their CDU state associations. Philipp Amthor is the state minister for federal-state cooperation in the federal chancellery, acting state chairman of the CDU Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and membership officer of the CDU federal board. The account asked whether the dual roles in other parties should also be examined and expressed its anger over Klöckner's criticism. #Politik #CDU #AfD (translated)

Tobias Lange criticized that there was still no statement from Friedrich Merz 24 hours later. He asked what Merz was doing as Chancellor and speculated that he might be "relaxing," withdrawn in Amthor's beach chair or lacking the desire to work. #Politik #Bundeskanzler #FriedrichMerz (translated)

Sarah Zickler summarized the political and social status quo from her perspective. She anticipated the election of the first AfD state president the following day, and in Berlin, a takeover by the successor party of the SED. Lars Klingbeil had suggested a tax on plastic packaging following the failure of the sugar tax, she wrote. Philipp Amthor is returning his beach chair while Friedrich Merz travels to Ukraine to assure that Germany will not demand repayment of its loans, according to Zickler. She described the CDU as weaker than ever in polls and Merz as the most unpopular chancellor of all time. She also referred to new elections in Spain, unrest in France, and costs of 24 million euros for a fence at Schloss Bellevue. Heidi Reichinnek was also mentioned by Zickler: she believes it is wrong to deport rapists and murderers who are required to leave, as they would be too dangerous for women in their home countries and should therefore stay in Germany. In conclusion, Zickler ironically commented on the situation as something that is going “well” for us. #Politik #Deutschland #Nachrichten (translated)

The appearance of Hape Kerkeling in the Thuringian state parliament documents the functional logic of political action. It's not about statements from experts, which he is not, but about attention and staging. Kerkeling should have brought Amthor's beach chair. #Politik #Aufmerksamkeit #Inszenierung (translated)

From FAZ to TAZ, Strandkorb-Gate has entered a new phase. Suddenly, Philipp Amthor is the victim of a campaign. The words "right" and "Russia" are still missing, but they will come by tomorrow at the latest. On LinkedIn, someone complained that it was only about symbols. Oh yes! We had this problem with emotionally overloaded symbols also with: - Rainbow flags - Knife prohibition zones - Hitler salutes - Armbands - Heat pumps... But: A beach chair at the workplace of a high-ranking politician - however Amthor ended up there - is a symbol. A symbol for a completely distorted mindset. Amthor enjoys his privileges instead of serving, serving, and serving. What concrete work result from Philipp Amthor is actually documented? Purely symbolically? Do you know any? #Priebshow #Priebshow #Politik #Symbolik #PhilippAmthor (translated)

Phillip Amthor accuses us as AfD of questioning the system and the political system. Interesting... Is it not allowed to question the system? A system in which the strongest party is walled off while people like Phillip Amthor continue to be promoted despite complete failure? The citizens vote for our AfD precisely because we question this! #AfD #Politik #Systemfrage (translated)

📢 Citizens of the EU, have you already heard your own death knell...?!!! The technocrats in Brussels are now preparing for an energy lockdown for the coming winter! The message is unequivocal: heat less, dim the light, give up comfort and travel. Coal and nuclear power plants have been and continue to be blown up or decommissioned to promote the self-created energy shortage. At the same time, sanctions against #Russia are continuously being tightened, consciously working on creating a gas shortage. After the failure of large parts of Qatari LNG exports due to the USA's war of aggression in the Persian Gulf and the politically motivated exit from Russian pipeline gas, Europe has maneuvered itself into a suicidal dependence on a strained world market. A lower storage level combined with "voluntary" consumption reductions is the start. If the winter is colder than hoped or further supply disruptions occur, the next step will follow: binding quotas, rationing, and #energy lockdown. Thus, the political class makes its citizens pay again for their energy policy mistakes. To evade this responsibility, the last card will be the war against #Putin. And then this continent is finished. By the way, the AfD wants to fundamentally reform this overbearing organization. https://t.co/ZfsNFQpKSM #Strandkorb #Amthor #Maischberger #Herrmann #InsideCDU #Gaza #Klima #Energie #EU #Putin (translated)

„Philipp Amthor hat für das Interesse junger Menschen an Politik sehr wahrscheinlich mehr getan als die meisten Lehrer im Politikunterricht.“ Wie kann man als Journalist ernsthaft solche Sätze von sich geben? In welcher Welt leben diese Leute? #Politik #JungeMenschen #Journalismus

Es geht ja gar nicht um den Strandkorb als solchen. Der Strandkorb ist die Kirsche auf der Sahne des Eisbechers der Selbstgefälligkeit. Der Strandkorb alleine wäre nett und schön. Und irgendwie süß. Aber der Strandkorb mit "2 Etagen über mir ist der Kanzler", mit Amthors Vorgeschichte, mit Spahn mit all diesen Dingen zusammen, da wird es einfach nicht schön. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Kritik

„Der Strandkorb steht ja für Freizeit, also für Nicht-Arbeiten. Deswegen erlaube ich mir den Rückschluss, dass Philipp Amthor vielleicht nicht weiß, was Arbeit heißt“, sagt NIUS-Kolumnist Gunnar Schupelius @GSchupelius bei NIUS Live. Dies und mehr in den Schlagzeilen des Tages. https://t.co/GcySKTADrA #Freizeit #Arbeit #Gesellschaft

Jens Spahn hat dem Ansehen von Politik allgemein und dem der CDU erheblich geschadet. Sein neuster Coup: Urlaub machen und sich krank melden. Jeder Arbeitnehmer würde dafür rausfliegen. Spahn sagt jetzt: Bei der Politisierung seiner Person sei Arbeiten unmöglich. Deswegen zieht er sich zurück. Behält aber sein Mandat. Er ist die Karikatur eines schlechten Politikers geworden. Er und Amthor stehen für den Niedergang bürgerlicher Tugenden, auf die sich beide so viel eingebildet haben. #fredericschwilden #jensspahn #amthor #cdu #politik #cdu #skandal
