Yvonne Kussmann wrote that photos showed politicians' reactions to the case in Grevesmühlen 2024. At that time, due to false reports, it was briefly assumed that a girl from Ghana had been hit in the face by German children and teenagers. Later, this portrayal turned out to be untrue. In reference to the attack this week on a German boy in Frankfurt (Oder) by several youths, who were predominantly perceived as foreign, there were no comparable expressions of outrage and solidarity from the same individuals, Kussmann wrote. She claimed that the reactions depended on the victim's background and quantified the scale from "German = 0" to belonging to asylum origin countries with "100." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Solidarität (translated)

GFrei.News reported that Tobias Rausch's open letter addressed an important detail of the BMW affair: If BMW withdrew the leasing offer for the position on the day of Rausch's election as President of the State Parliament, this was a message both to the AfD and to the public. GFrei.News regarded this as political discrimination in the sense of the Basic Law and referred to Article 3, Paragraph 3, Sentence 1, as well as Article 33, Paragraphs 2 and 3. The author noted that these constitutional provisions only obligated legislation, executive power, and jurisdiction, as they represent the people's defensive rights against the state. Nevertheless, behavior in accordance with the Basic Law is a benchmark for moral and civic conduct. Measured against this, BMW, in the view of GFrei.News, behaves not only unconstitutionally but also disgracefully. #BMWAffäre #Grundgesetz #PolitischeDiskriminierung (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that a former employee at the Dortmund immigration office is suspected of having manipulated residence permits and travel documents. So far, at least 24 conspicuous cases have come to light, and investigations are underway, he stated. For him, the case raises the fundamental question of whether, in the filling of government positions, only suitability, qualifications, and professional performance should continue to count. Especially in agencies that decide on stays and documents, in his view, neither political nor societal wish criteria should be decisive. Ostermann opposed selection based on skin color, origin, migration history, or quotas and argued that the state must choose the most suitable applicants to gain trust. https://t.co/GwOYtz6jbw #Eignung #Leistung #Vertrauen (translated)
