The problem is enormous. The state government under governor Anton Mattle (ÖVP) is certainly "obliged to finally take action" and must "finally come up with adequate solutions," Dornauer said, because: "The problem is enormous. This year there was a truck jam in the south that stretched from Brenner to Neumarkt. That's about 100 kilometers. That's no longer bearable." #Tirol #LkwTransit #Nachtfahrverbot (translated)

The author wrote that Trump and Putin had taken Germany's access to cheap gas and diesel away due to their lost wars. In his view, Alice Weidel did not understand that this was contrary to German interests. Furthermore, he accused her of aligning herself with those he referred to. https://t.co/EEKqqkPMxY #Trump #Putin #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Anna wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky described Trump's diesel deal with Putin as a "weak decision by strong partners." While the Ukrainian delegation negotiates with US representatives in Florida for two days about at least one ceasefire, the US president, according to Anna's account, enables the Kremlin to earn additional revenues. As the first step, the team discussed a ceasefire for energy facilities that would benefit Ukrainian families. Trump spoke with Putin and agreed that Russia could deliver 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, 500,000 tons in November, and then one million tons, Anna wrote. Zelensky said the deliveries would bring additional money for Russia's war against Ukraine – possibly "millions, billions." He criticized the approach as untrustworthy behavior among partners and stated that his team would be used as cover. #Ukraine #Waffenruhe #Trump (translated)
BrennpunktUA wrote that the US midterm elections are in three weeks, and by then no Russian diesel will reach the USA. Trump knows this and doesn't really need the fuel but is looking for someone to blame for the high diesel prices, according to the author's assessment. Trump had already tried to blame Ukraine a few weeks ago. This attempt failed because the situation with Iran and in the SoH is 90 percent responsible for price development. Given the poor prospects for the Republicans, Trump is now once again trying to bring a deal with Putin into play. BrennpunktUA advised Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries in the coming three weeks and instead focus on other strategic targets. Otherwise, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could fall into Trump's trap. The author also asked where the diesel was suddenly supposed to come from and wrote that the fuel shortage in Russia is not over, and the country continues to import refined fuel for its own population. From his experience, nothing happens in the last four weeks before a major US election that is not related to the election. Trump will try to lower gas prices with PR actions in the coming three weeks and present this as his own success. If the Democrats get outraged over Trump's push for Russian diesel, they could also fall into the trap, BrennpunktUA wrote. Trump could then present himself as the one ensuring that Americans can afford their fuel fill-up. #Trump #USA #Wahlen (translated)
Ben Jamin wrote that he often has the impression that the CDU will realize in a few days why their voters ran away. He described the approach to leftist positions as a dead end and stated that Mrs. Priens' statement left him speechless. https://t.co/b2GgRb5b6X #CDU #Politik #Wähler (translated)
That would be a covert increase in the contribution. Regarding the increase in EU own resources demanded by the EU Commission, Stocker emphasized that it should involve new own resources, not a rerouting of existing national revenues. #EUBudget #Österreich #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)
Timo Lehmann wrote that the police in Halle could have cleared the way for the vice president of the state parliament, Tillschneider, that day, but did not do so. Carrying away people wearing a kippah in front of the synagogue for a right-wing extremist is unacceptable, he stated. The police's actions gave him hope. https://t.co/XhyiaqAqfP #Halle #Polizei #Rechtsextremismus (translated)
Oliver Gorus wrote that Stelter is correct in his analysis; he listens to his podcast regularly. The problem, however, is not a lack of knowledge: politicians are aware of the situation but follow systemic incentives that, in his view, favor more redistribution, social welfare, debt, taxes, and contributions, as well as a higher state quota. This secures their positions and pensions. Gorus considered a course change unrealistic. According to his portrayal, political actors benefited from the decline and did not care about decreasing prosperity. He compared them to residents of the Wandlitz forest settlement negotiating their next role among themselves. He asked how long the substance of the private sector would last and whether the euro, the EU, or the Federal Republic would collapse first. Genuine reform within the existing structures seems unlikely to him. The next government would probably be Green-Red-Red, Gorus wrote, because retirees and other recipients of transfers formed the largest voter block; after that, things would really get going in the "ghost train." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wirtschaft (translated)
Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)
The author _horizont_ wrote that Antifa set fire to the car of AfD politician Bernd Baumann in November 2025. BMW withdrew its leasing offer for a company car for the President of the Saxony-Anhalt Parliament on October 6, 2026, just hours after Tobias Rausch was elected the first AfD politician to head a German parliament. Regarding the question of whether the AfD harms Germany as a business location, BMW CEO Milan Nedeljković recently stated that right-wing populism and nationalism jeopardize an open, trade-dependent economy. Those who demand protectionism and isolationism do not act in the interest of the German location and prosperity, Nedeljković reportedly said according to _horizont_. The author wrote that this says enough about BMW. #Antifa #AfD #Rechtspopulismus (translated)

The AfD faction in the German Bundestag wrote that Anna Rathert, Member of the Bundestag, sharply criticized the Merz-CDU. She accused Friedrich Merz of demanding savings from the Germans while simultaneously raising further billions for Ukraine. According to the faction, his repeated warnings about a Russian war danger contradict his own statement referring to national defense as a "black box." The faction claimed that he apparently had not made it a top priority in recent years and questioned whether he himself believed in the war danger or was merely staging himself as a bulwark against Russia in light of his domestic political weakness. #Ukraine #Merz #Politik (translated)
Apollo News reported that US Secretary of State Rubio gave a keynote speech in Athens about Western civilization. He warned Europe of a leftist ideology that threatens the West and called for action.
