Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the BSW is continuing its substantive work and is preparing a proposal in Saxony-Anhalt against the settlement of an Israeli armaments company in Sangerhausen. The Left Party supported the concern in the election campaign; all other factions are also invited to join the initiative. Peace must stand above every "firewall," she stated. #Frieden #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
The author wrote that parts of the Union apparently waited for an opportunity to normalize cooperation with the AfD. Now, the Red-Red-Green coalition in Berlin is being used as a justification for this. According to his account, the firewall will not fall by itself but will be torn down by the Union itself. #Politik #AfD #Berlin #DE (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)

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)

CSU-Chef Söder fordert bei Junger Union "Brandmauer nach links"
Peter Borbe said that a red-red-green minority government is more likely in the event of a premature end to the black-red coalition than a CDU minority government. The three parties together would account for 36 percent, while the Union is at 28 percent, he explained. According to him, the CDU/CSU must support such a government because otherwise, the left-wing parties would claim that the Union is colluding with the AfD. Borbe said that the Union would follow this reasoning because of its "firewall." #Politik #Koalition #Minderheitsregierung (translated)
Zara Riffler asked whether there is growing concern within the Union that, due to majorities of Red-Red-Green, they would soon no longer belong to the supposed "firewall." She wrote that this is precisely the goal of the leftist firewall: The Left does not want to govern with the Union and therefore does not listen to the CDU. https://t.co/WP0tmPotPg #Politik #Wahlen #Linke (translated)

The author wrote that the SPD had reached an agreement with the Left Party in Berlin despite an announcement from Merz. He criticized that a distinction was made with the AfD, while cooperation with left-wing extremists was possible, and called this a betrayal of the people. He also referred to a new video from that day. https://t.co/6okief51Kv #Politik #Berlin #SPD #DE (translated)
Baha wrote that the SPD and the Greens had torn down the firewall themselves. He expected his party to draw consequences at the federal level and to maintain a minimal level of self-respect. #Politik #Bundesregierung #Selbstachtung (translated)
Waldemar Hartmann wrote that neither the Greens nor the SPD would be deterred in Berlin from coming to power with the Left – not even by militant antisemitism or close ties to violent criminal clans. Behind this lies a master plan of the federal parties: The SPD wants to go into new elections with Manuela Schwesig as the top candidate and form a majority at the federal level together with the Left and the Greens. Therefore, the intended coalition in Berlin must not fail, Hartmann explained. At the same time, he accused the CDU of clinging to the firewall at the Deutschlandtag of the Young Union. He wrote that the party should prepare for its political end after the state elections in the spring. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #Koalition (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Red-Green-Red has reached an agreement during exploratory talks in Berlin. He criticized the CDU for believing in firewalls and expressed his disapproval with multiple disgust emojis. #Berlin #Politik #Sondierungen (translated)
