Kolja Barghoorn wrote that the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt initially won the election and will now have the state president and the vice president confirmed. In December, there will be the first AfD minister president, after which all of Germany will face a "glorious future," he explained. This prospect became clear to him in that moment and slightly overwhelmed him. #AfD #SachsenAnhalt #Politik (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the Theo Müller corporate group plans to close two plants in eastern Germany, affecting around 320 jobs. The Homann plant in Rogätz is set to close by the end of September 2027; around 160 employees are affected because the location has not achieved a sustainably competitive cost structure despite extensive measures. The cut cheese factory of Sachsenmilch in Leppersdorf is also set to close on December 31. Another approximately 160 jobs are affected there, while sour cheese and mozzarella are still to be produced. Boeminghaus wrote that costs, investment needs, and changing demand are now also putting pressure on established production sites. He cited Handelsblatt as the source. https://t.co/NZxouM1bl6 #Arbeitsplätze #Industrie #Deutschland (translated)

The feeling of home referred to the day as historic and the image as "picture of the day." Tobias Rausch was elected as the President of the State Parliament, wrote the author. He predicted the election of Ulrich Siegmund as Prime Minister for December and declared that the political turnaround had begun. https://t.co/EmXzreIjrJ #Politik #Deutschland #Landtagswahl (translated)

DavidGegenGoliath wrote that Alice Weidel confirmed that there had been an agreement with representatives from other factions before the election of Tobias Rausch. The four votes from the CDU were apparently more than just a "test of courage." The author suspected that Ulrich Siegmund could also receive votes from the CDU in a decisive vote in December. #CDU #Politik #Wahlen (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that Tobias Rausch from the AfD was elected as the president of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt with 48 votes. In addition to the votes from the AfD and the previously announced support from the BSW, Rausch received four more votes from other parties. Hartmann asked whether this gives Uli Siegmund such optimism that he will be elected as prime minister in December. Among the CDU, the mistrust towards the faction has now become a regular occurrence. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Politik (translated)

Björn Höcke congratulated Tobias Rausch for being elected as the first AfD politician to the president of the state parliament. Höcke wrote that it used to be a parliamentary custom for the office to be given to the strongest party after an election and described the implementation of the voters' will in Saxony-Anhalt as a return to political normality. At the same time, he stated that a neutral conduct of the state parliament president was no longer a given in other German parliaments, including the Bundestag. Höcke saw it as a positive sign that Rausch received 48 votes, while AfD and BSW together have 44 seats. From this, he concluded that members of other parties had acted reasonably. He expressed hope that the blocking stance could be resolved and Ulrich Siegmund could be elected as the first Minister President in December. #AfD #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

The author wrote that the then SPD-led chancellery had denied his article to several journalists, more than a month after he had predicted the Russian attack on Ukraine on December 3, 2021.

Sparbuchfeinde wrote that Ulrich Siegmund wanted to be elected as the first AfD Prime Minister of Germany in December. The AfD has 39 delegates, while Siegmund needs at least 42 yes votes. He expects a "significant majority" in the first ballot, the BSW wants to abstain, and the CDU assures that no one is in talks with the AfD, the author explained. Sparbuchfeinde considered either a bluff from Siegmund possible, which would put his credibility and political career at risk, or a loss of control by the CDU. In the latter case, several CDU delegates could vote for Siegmund and then possibly switch completely to the AfD, he wrote. In his view, that would be a political earthquake and could lead to the immediate end of Friedrich Merz's chancellorship and the federal government. He could not imagine that Siegmund was bluffing. #AfD #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

The author wrote that Alireza Sepahi and Alireza Raisi were executed by the Islamic Republic of Iran last night. The two young men had participated in nationwide protests against the regime in December 2025 and January 2026, respectively.

Daniele Ganser wrote that Kaja Kallas, Estonia's former Prime Minister, has been the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs since December 2024 and leads the meetings of the 27 foreign ministers. He claimed that no voter in Europe elected her to this position. He called her appointment a mistake and said that Kallas endangers peace by adopting an aggressive stance towards Russia. Ganser referred to statements made by Kallas in May 2024, in which she had described a defeat for Russia and a reduction of the country as not bad. In his view, this implicitly called for the dismantling of Russia. Such a policy should not be pursued by the EU, he wrote. He also claimed that support for EU funding of weapons for Ukraine is declining. The Union has transformed from a peace project into a war project. In September 2026, Kallas and Chancellor Merz traveled to Finland and appeared in military clothing before cameras, Ganser wrote. With this, they wanted to demonstrate strength. In fact, he argued, they pose a danger as they advocate for a large war and thus endanger peace in Europe. #EU #Frieden #Aussenpolitik (translated)
