The fraud that needs to be tackled. And for that, the laws that the bipartisanship has consolidated for the past 40 years need to be changed. The returns regulation, which we managed to push forward in the European Parliament, has not yet been published due to the trickery of the bureaucracy, takes a step forward. (translated)
The Marco Civil da Internet was not wrong at all. It was approved after extensive debate. It was in 2014, when all the major social networks already existed. The left decided to break with this consensus because the free networks have disadvantaged them in referendums like Brexit and elections like those of Trump and Bolsonaro. It then used its influence on the intellectual elites and bureaucratic backrooms to betray this consensus at every opportunity. It fabricated last-minute "theories," like the nonsense of "informational disorder." It sponsored the censorship of the Hunter Biden report in 2020 and applauded the censorship against Bolsonaro supporters between 2019 and 2026. In 2026, finally, it began to reap the fruits of its own actions, of its own decision to break with a democratic and pro-free speech consensus. I await the repentant ones who participated in the pro-gag shift to return to the democratic and pro-free speech consensus. (translated)

Ferat Koçak, who is financed with around 17,500 euros in tax money monthly, has entangled himself in a web of excuses and direct connections to organized crime. That a highly paid representative accepts a donation in the form of a smartphone from the son of the well-known clan leader Issa Remmo - allegedly for Antifa youths whose phones were seized by the police - haha, right, borders on parody. His claim that he initially did not know who he was chatting with despite his position as a domestic politician either reveals a shocking incompetence or bold protective claims. It becomes even more scandalous when looking at the process: Even when Koçak stated that he realized in the Remmo family's office who was in front of him, he did not break off contact. No. He still took the phone and contacted Firas Remmo again of his own accord two weeks later. To complete the audacity, he asked the clan's son to spread a speech in the Bundestag in which Koçak trivializes the term "clan criminality" as a mere political battle term. Anyone who so openly seeks closeness to criminal structures and simultaneously lives off taxpayers has squandered all political credibility! The late remorse and the framework of excuses about an allegedly "overwhelming situation" seem all the more ridiculous against this backdrop. A member of the Bundestag who sends heart greetings to the clan milieu via voice message ("I kiss your heart, brother") and prefers to do politics "for the street" rather than for parliament is simply unacceptable for a constitutional body! If a parliamentarian so openly colludes with representatives of organized crime, they should no longer be paid from tax funds and should be immediately relieved of all political positions!

The Neukölln Bundestag member of the Left, Ferat Koçak, who is under pressure, admits that he met the clan leader Issa Remmo in his office. His explanations of how and why he maintained contact with the notorious extended family seem contradictory. (translated)
Season recap: Ferat Koçak will collect donations for an Antifa group because they were taken away by the police, then Firas Remmo contacts him, so they exchange messages on WhatsApp and in the end, Koçak personally picks up the phone from Issa Remmo in his office, where the clan chief praises him. Koçak wants to keep his distance, but afterward, he sends Firas (and others) a video of his Bundestag speech about the "hysterical ongoing debate" about "so-called clan crime," which he wants him and his people to share. Then Firas invites him to his brother's wedding, but Koçak can't go because he's sick, and when Issa Remmo shows up at two election parties of the Left and is removed from the celebrations, Firas calls Koçak four times but he doesn't answer, and all of this Koçak wants to tell the ZEIT, he swears that everything is true, a misunderstanding, "maybe" a mistake, and also racism against him, he writes on X, and then during a photoshoot with the newspaper, a man comes and holds a phone in front of his face, it's a video call from Firas Remmo, who asks why Koçak is doing such a thing. Any more questions? (translated)
I meet young people in Kenya almost daily who would like to go to Germany, many of them with university degrees. And many say they want to work in nursing professions, but fail due to high bureaucratic hurdles. This should be talked about in Germany. (translated)
Messi sent a burofax to leave Barça at its worst moment and ended up going for money to one of the biggest enemies like PSG and retired from the national team after losing 2 finals against Chile; to me, it's funny that his fans want to give lessons to Cristiano on knowing how to leave. (translated)
The federal cabinet today adopted the #CareReform. In order not to further escalate the ongoing dispute in the governing coalition, criticism points and fundamental reform projects were initially ignored. These will be clarified by a commission. The consequence: contributors will have to shoulder significantly higher burdens. In this context, the health policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, @martin_sichert, states: "The spousal co-insurance will become more expensive in the future, childless individuals will pay more and the contribution assessment limit will rise. All of this burdens the providers of performance in our society. It is a disgrace for the government of Chancellor Merz and Health Minister Linnemann that their central action is limited to taking more and more money from the citizens to temporarily save the fundamentally reform-needy long-term care insurance from financial ruin. And of course, a commission will also be tasked again to bring about further burdens for the citizens, such as higher burdens for privately insured individuals. The contribution rate for statutory long-term care insurance has been rising for years, and the money still does not reach sufficient levels. There are no genuine reforms. Where is the radical reduction of bureaucracy? Where is the strengthening of home care? The long-term care insurance system needs fundamental reform, just like the entire healthcare sector. The AfD parliamentary group has already submitted extensive concepts that encompass not only care but also health insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, therapists, and all other service providers. We therefore once again call on the federal government not to stand in the way of a fundamental health and care reform." (translated)

The JEP is to justice what a fork is to soup: a monumental bureaucratic display, millions in budget to move air with great elegance, and after hours of ceremonious effort, the absolute certainty that no one will take a single bite of truth. In short, an elaborate institutional setup designed to demonstrate that nothing can also be managed. (translated)
