Florian Warweg stated that the federal government has since confirmed that pensioners in Russia have 200 euros deducted from their pensions each month. When he inquired at the government press conference in September, he was initially told that this was merely his claim. As evidence, Warweg referred to a subsequent statement from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs regarding questions from the government press conferences on September 28 and October 5, 2026. The ministry stated that fees would be deducted for transfers of statutory pensions from Germany to accounts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Russia. The bank justified this with higher compliance risks and additional auditing and processing efforts. Despite efforts, alternative payment methods that could avoid the fees have not been found. According to the statement, statutory pensions would be transferred free of charge within the SEPA area. For payments outside this area, the benefit provider bears the costs up to the commissioned financial institution; fees from further correspondent banks are not covered by the German Pension Insurance or the Pension Service. Affected individuals could have their pension transferred to an account in another country, provided they meet the personal requirements and can set up an account there, according to the ministry. Warweg asked why the ministry initially labeled the deduction as an unfounded claim and then acknowledged it about two weeks later. He noted that the ministry had provided the supplementary information, while the Foreign Office, despite a commitment, had not sent any follow-up and later declared itself not responsible. The inquiry was about what advice it would give to affected German pensioners in Russia. #Rentner #Bundesregierung #Russland (translated)

Nina PB wrote that videos from demonstrations in Denmark, France, and Milan, along with coverage from foreign media, gave her a more comprehensive picture than Danish media. She said she respected editorial choices but believed there were significant gaps in Danish coverage. She criticized DR for having downplayed the concerns about students and people in yellow vests through a correspondent and referred to the possibility of eating a croissant. According to Nina PB, this occurred hours before stores were looted and fires were set in the streets, which others easily had foreseen. She wrote that she was not asking for a specific political angle but for access to factual knowledge. When she saw violent clips, she checked local news sites and YouTube and searched for information about the location and subject. She felt that the Danish narrative currently lacked information about, among other things, the extent of the violence, methods used, which stores were affected, and visible signs of political affiliation. She added that she had limited the possibility for responses in the thread to keep it free from bots and anonymous trolls. https://t.co/4i8nbWJGuy #journalistik #nyheder #verificering (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that she received a response from the police headquarters regarding the attack on a 14-year-old student in Frankfurt (Oder), but most of her questions remained unanswered. According to the response, the attacked boy was 14 years old and a German citizen; he was attacked by at least ten youths. None of the suspects attended the school in front of which the attack took place. Investigations are being conducted for dangerous bodily harm and robbery, as the suspects reached into the boy's pocket. Further questions regarding the suspects were not answered, citing their age. According to Kussmann, the police headquarters also did not provide any information about the boy's health condition, explaining this with reasons related to personal rights. She wrote that she intends to inquire again elsewhere. #FrankfurtOder #Schülerangriff #Polizei (translated)
