Yvonne Kussmann wrote that ten years ago in Hamburg, the then 16-year-old Victor was killed. An unknown assailant attacked him from behind with a knife at the shore of the Alster and seriously injured him multiple times; the perpetrator pushed Victor's girlfriend into the Alster. Victor later died in the hospital. The perpetrator has not been found to this day. The case became known as the Alster murder. Two weeks after the crime, the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the murder. However, the German authorities did not classify it as an Islamist attack, Kussmann wrote. She also recalled the murders of Samuel Paty six years ago and Maria Ladenburger ten years ago. Kussmann again shared a post that Victor's mother published a year ago. At that time, she inquired with the public prosecutor's office and learned that the investigations were ongoing, but there was no new status update. According to the public prosecutor's office, the composite image was not created based on information from Victor's girlfriend, but due to the observation of a third person who had seen a suspicious individual near the crime scene. Due to fewer individual characteristics, the public prosecutor's office considers the image to be "limitedly relevant." #GerechtigkeitFürVictor #AlsterMord #Erinnerung (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that Friedrich Merz's politics would bring even less support to the Union in the next federal elections than in the previous ones. At the same time, in his estimation, mainly the few critics of this policy would lose their mandates and thus have no influence in the future. As a comparison, Vosgerau cited the "Berliner Kreis," a group of Union members of parliament who opposed Angela Merkel's political line after the federal elections in 2017. Nevertheless, that line continued; after the 2021 elections, the circle largely disappeared as a group of members of parliament. To his recollection, only Klaus-Peter Willsch still had a mandate. Vosgerau described the development as a vicious circle: The attempt to correct Union politics through voter decisions effectively brings about the opposite and further facilitates the decline. #Bundestagswahl #Union #Politik (translated)

If your own partner understood your offer differently than you did, do you assume that your offer was so clear and specific that the minister and state secretary had to understand you unequivocally? I do not expect that at all, replied Krause. #ScheuerProzess #PkwMaut #Erinnerungslücken (translated)
