Now the public prosecutor's office is investigating Karabacak himself. https://t.co/wEXcfbqJhm #Bürgermeisterwahl #Rassismus #Polizei (translated)

Coxx alleged that Baris Karabacak (CDU), a Turkish-born mayoral candidate in Uetersen (Schleswig-Holstein), fabricated a racist attack against himself. Just before the mayoral election at the end of September 2026, the windows of his car had been smashed; under the windshield wiper, there was a campaign flyer with an anti-foreigner message. Karabacak subsequently portrayed himself as a victim of a racist or xenophobic attack. The police and the state protection service initially investigated for incitement to hatred, wrote Coxx. #Bürgermeisterwahl #Rassismus #Politik (translated)

Antonio Tabet addressed voters who still supported Flávio Bolsonaro and stated that he was not a member of the Workers' Party, reminding them that he had publicly criticized the party and Lula. For him, the second round was not about opposing left and right or the PT and PL, but about democracy and authoritarianism, among other contrasts. Tabet said he understood those who wanted Lula out of the Presidency but classified voting for the Bolsonaro clan as self-sabotage, citing what he called their history and origins. He also warned that the family could perpetuate itself in power, despite calls for change. He further stated that bolsonarism did not represent the right and said he would support whoever contested against the Bolsonaros if Romeu Zema ran. #democracia #liberdade #autoritarismo (translated)

Michał Chmielewski wrote that on that day Russian trolls were to be particularly active in defending the actions of Donald Trump, which he described as treason. He believed that Trump sent a clear signal to the world and harmed his presidency and image. In his opinion, he also ensured a victory for the Democrats in the upcoming elections and paved the way for the presidency. He added that the Democrats should choose an efficient and wise candidate in the primaries, and first win the midterm elections and effectively block Trump's actions, which he assessed as harmful to the world. Chmielewski emphasized that the world is not black and white, but certain boundaries should be clearly defined. He warned that the loss of a sense of security by societies and the return of monarchist governments in a world based on the democratic ideas of recent decades could lead to chaos with exclusively negative and unpredictable consequences. #Trump #Demokraci #Wybory2024 (translated)
