The author criticized that France's President Emmanuel Macron keeps the army in the barracks while the population remains defenseless.

The Australian exchange student wrote that France is facing a bleak future if Le Pen is considered the best option. He claimed that she supports a leftist economic policy with increased state intervention, wants to expand what he sees as an already oversized welfare state, and hopes for German tax money. Furthermore, he stated that she wants to reach an arrangement with the Muslim population, which, according to the author, would turn France into an explosive multi-ethnic state. If this is the intended path, he believes it would be better to leave things as they are. #Frankreich #Politik #Wahlen (translated)

Only the cook accused CDU/CSU politician Sepp Müller of constructing a Hitler comparison from Vanessa Emde's statement that people have a right to exist, while invoking German state interests and the slogan "Never again is now." Koch described Emde's statement as legally correct and wrote that Müller had instrumentalized German history with his reaction to publicly defame the politician. This had occurred through the official channel of a taxpayer-funded Bundestag faction. Koch criticized the reaction as a mockery of international law, history, and the intelligence of the population. #Menschenrechte #Völkerrecht #Politik (translated)
Steffan Nethe criticized the planned expenditure of 25 million euros for a new refugee shelter on the Stralau peninsula in Berlin. He described the location as one of the most expensive and exclusive in the capital, contrasting the amount with the almost 400 billion euros that Germany has spent on migration policy over the past eleven years, according to his representation. Nethe wrote that while the middle class has been urged to save and pay higher taxes for years, the project sends a devastating signal to the working population. Citing internal documents, he stated that the property was too small, the construction forms were complicated, and costs were already spiraling out of control. He doubted that it would remain at 25 million euros and cited the project as an example of wasteful use of tax money. At the same time, he pointed out that citizens in large cities could hardly afford living space anymore. #Steuergeldverschwendung #Migration #Wohnraum (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that the Pope had part of his right lung removed on Tuesday. On Friday, according to Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin, he personally called Putin to advocate for the population of the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. He demanded a ceasefire so that food and medicine could be brought into the city and civilians could be safely and voluntarily evacuated. According to the information cited by Laska from the United Nations, about 1,700 people, including 47 children, were still waiting there. The Kremlin had promised cooperation, but no commitment to a ceasefire had been announced, Laska wrote. Parolin hopes that Putin will comply with the request. Laska rejected the objection that Ukraine is blocking aid. Ukrainian forces had delivered about four tons of food to Oleshky by drone at the end of September and nearly four tons of aid supplies in early October. However, a city could not be permanently supplied in this way, she wrote. Additionally, according to the Ukrainian city administration, Russian soldiers were seizing the aid supplies. Drones also cannot bring people out of the city. Laska emphasized that a phone call is not yet a humanitarian corridor and a friendly note of conversation does not feed the people of Oleshky. She thanked the Pope for his initiative and wrote that Putin must now allow the people in the city to continue living. #Papst #Putin #Oleschky (translated)

Morlock No. 2 wrote that the AfD is now also on the way to becoming the strongest party in North Rhine-Westphalia. At the same time, the CDU continues to uphold its "firewall" and is surprised by poor poll ratings and election results, the author said.
