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)

Sahra Wagenknecht accused Friedrich Merz of losing touch with reality and called it absurd to refer to the planned reforms as a "justice program." According to polls, 80 percent of citizens rightly considered the reforms unjust, she wrote. Wagenknecht rejected Merz's statement that no euro for Ukraine was missing from social systems. She claimed that Merz was retrieving the money for the Ukraine aid through cuts in nursing, pensions, and health from the citizens.
