It begins. The neo-Nazi Sebastian Koch, who recently had a raid at his house where weapons were found, is now sitting in the state parliament and collecting a lot of money.

Kolja Barghoorn referred to a witty comeback from Helmut Kohl in response to the question of what he was getting paid for. He wrote that an AfD politician would be considered anti-constitutional today for a similar remark and called that ridiculous. #Politik #AfD #Schlagfertigkeit (translated)

The author described it as a significant achievement that Germany has drastically reduced coal power generation despite the phase-out of nuclear energy. In his assessment, a renaissance of nuclear power will not happen, as neither the economy nor the state can afford it. #Energie #Klimaschutz #Atomkraft #DE (translated)

The enemies of savings accounts wrote that Donald Trump announced that Russia would supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the USA. While other countries in the energy sector enforced their interests through deals, Germany chose a nuclear phase-out, a coal phase-out, a feminist foreign policy, and morality, the author wrote. According to him, the costs would be borne by people at the gas station and in supermarkets, as well as employees whose energy-intensive employers would have to close permanently. #Energie #Klimaschutz #Politik (translated)

The author wrote that he did not know whether Gerhard Schröder could be expelled from the SPD. He simultaneously asked why Schröder's portrait still hung in the Federal Chancellery alongside those of Adenauer, Brandt, Schmidt, and Kohl. #SPD #Bundeskanzleramt #Politik #DE (translated)

"When you see our quality in the first six games and the quality that is on the other side with Wolfsburg, I do believe that we can rightly consider this a top match."

Fafa estimated that the episode of Koh-Lanta had too many intrigues, notably citing Laure's broken shoulder, the reunification, the end of the ambassadors, the banana bread affair, and the surprise councils.

Morlock No. 2 initially wrote derogatorily about the AfD, but then retracted his statement. As a justification, he referred to a representation according to which the career of a man included civil service positions in the Federal Ministry of the Interior and in the Federal Chancellery – both under Helmut Schmidt (SPD) and under Helmut Kohl (CDU). https://t.co/BsoWvbgyMt #Politik #Deutschland #AfD (translated)

GFrei.News referred to values of 30.5 percent for the AfD and 17.5 percent for the CDU and urged the CDU to abandon its "firewall." Otherwise, the author warned that the party could face further loss of significance. He described the CDU and SPD as career parties and claimed that advancement opportunities depended on conforming to party leadership and avoiding internal criticism. The author accused the CDU of using offices and positions to provide for its members. As evidence, he cited 25 lost CDU seats in Saxony-Anhalt, 12 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and 68 nationwide, with the latter relating to current polls. According to his portrayal, state parliament representatives received between 10,000 and 11,000 euros monthly, federal parliament representatives up to 17,000 euros; additionally, there were up to 6,000 euros for office equipment and 1.24 million euros in party funds for every million voters. GFrei.News also criticized travel expenses, retirement provisions, and opportunities for employees and stock trades that, in his view, were available to the representatives. According to the author, the CDU supported Merkel and then Merz despite what he considered bad policies. He concluded by asking when a prominent CDU member would abandon the firewall. #CDU #AfD #Politik (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that Helmut Kohl should have converted the pension system to capitalization and state funds starting in 1982. Instead, according to his representation, the ancillary wage costs were distributed in a Ponzi scheme and supplemented by 25 to 30 percent of the federal budget. At the latest since 1975, experts had been aware that the Bismarck system was no longer functioning in light of demographic change and the pension dynamization of 1957, Vosgerau wrote. The left had therefore expected a fundamental reform from Kohl and Kurt Biedenkopf but wanted to oppose terms like "neoliberalism" and "Thatcherism." However, Kohl not only wanted to become chancellor but also to remain in office, according to Vosgerau. Norbert Blüm was the only minister who stayed in office during Kohl's entire 16-year term. #Rentenreform #Politik #Demographie (translated)

The author stated that geopolitical independence requires the use of domestic coal and gas resources as well as a correction of the nuclear phase-out, which he described as a historical mistake. https://t.co/vqbZ4xPbMS #Energiepolitik #Geopolitik #Kohlenstoffwirtschaft #DE #AT (translated)
