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 Ferat Koçak for his contacts with Firas Remmo and accused him of contradictory statements. Nethe wrote that Koçak is funded with about 17,500 euros of taxpayers' money each month. He claimed that the Bundestag member had accepted a smartphone as an in-kind donation from the son of a well-known clan leader. According to Koçak's account, the device was intended for Antifa youth, whose phones had been confiscated by the police. Nethe questioned Koçak's statement that he initially did not know who he was chatting with and later sat in an office with him. Even after Koçak recognized who was in front of him, he did not terminate the contact but took the phone with him and contacted Firas Remmo again two weeks later, Nethe wrote. Furthermore, Koçak had asked Remmo to spread a Bundestag speech in which he referred to the term "clan crime" as a political fighting term. Nethe also criticized a voice message with warm regards to Remmo and Koçak's wish to do politics more "for the street" than in parliament. He dismissed Koçak's later regret and the explanation that the situation had been overwhelming. He called for Koçak to no longer be funded with taxpayer money and to relieve him of his political offices. #Politik #Korruption #Clankriminalität (translated)

Ansgar Schledde explained that in the local elections in the Hannover region, more than 3,000 outer ballot envelopes were opened prematurely in 14 out of 20 surrounding municipalities. He regarded this as a systematic violation of §59 of the Lower Saxony Municipal Election Code. The envelopes should have remained unopened and sealed; instead, ballots with the names and addresses of the voters became visible and were repackaged. The votes were then counted without verification, Schledde wrote. The procedure was ordered by the regional election office via email and was only stopped by the state election director four days before the election. Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) commented cautiously on the incident; supposedly, no impact on the election result was to be expected, criticized Schledde. He supported the objection of Bundestag member Dirk Brandes and announced a complete clarification as well as a legal examination. For the state elections in 2027, postal voting documents must be designed to prevent manipulation, and the rules must be adhered to. Those who violate the election regulations must face consequences, Schledde wrote. https://t.co/uzZye3DAPi #Wahlen #Demokratie #Niedersachsen (translated)
