The ÖRR Blog published the criticism of the professional association BLV-pro against a video by Jan Böhmermann. The association stated that the portrayal of a GDR moped rider as a parody of the AfD politician Siegmund, who is repeatedly run over by a truck while riding a Simson, creates the impression that Siegmund is wished dead, or at least that this outcome is accepted. BLV-pro also criticized that the video generally depicts truck drivers as violent and exploits their profession for provocation. In light of the deaths of four young moped drivers, the portrayal is particularly disrespectful. The association also noted that the contribution is financed with public funds. BLV-pro announced that it is examining legal action and filing a complaint. The association demanded a public statement, a clear distancing from the portrayal, and respect for truck drivers. #OerrBlog #Protest #Satire #LkwFahrer (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann drew a critical balance of the day and referred to poll figures of 13 percent for the SPD, 14 percent for the CDU, and 4 percent for the CSU. He wrote that the SPD was dragging the Union along and accused its coalition partner of inhumane treatment of Labor Minister Bas after her resignation. Friedrich Merz had to respond and tried to present the results of a two-day retreat of the CDU's top committees as a plan for better times. However, Hartmann referred to these as reheated old ideas. In Schwerin, a woman was working against the AfD on a red-red-green government, which she wanted to lead as Chancellor after the next federal election, he wrote. The CDU remains committed to the "firewall," while Markus Söder wants to expel CDU members who voted with the AfD from the party. Karin Prien thinks the CDU is too conservative, Hartmann added. He saw bleak prospects for the party and wrote that the CDU had once again failed to recognize the signs of the times at the Adenauer House. #Politik #CDU #SPD (translated)

"Do you want to go somewhere else? Then say it." Looking at the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU chief Markus Söder called on dissenters within the Union to leave. "Anyone who votes for the AfD does not have much of a future with us." Söder suggested that this probably stemmed from a deep wound within the CDU faction. After these events, Söder would find it "surprising" if the AfD did not also lead the government in the state. "It would be absolutely necessary. The voters in Saxony-Anhalt have already made a very clear statement." "Given the results, you can't say that. I just think that anyone considering doing something like that should have the backbone to make it public." "Also immediately move in the political direction." "Because I find that quite despicable." "Therefore, everyone who is playing with fire (...), should know that in the end it will probably lead to extreme AfD dominance, that the polls will turn into results." "If the second democratic government fails within a few years after the traffic light coalition, it would be a huge blow to democracy." "I appreciate him, I respect him, and I also find that very unfair." "Friedrich Merz remains Chancellor." CSU chief Markus Söder has again backed Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and campaigned for the CSU politician Ilse Aigner as Federal President. "The only personnel matter that personally interests me is not the chancellorship, but I would like Ilse Aigner to become Federal President if at all possible. I am very committed to that." #CSU #CDU #Politik (translated)
