Cyrus Razavi wrote that the parade, which he had spent several months organizing, had been conducted with good attendance and in a peaceful and festive atmosphere. He assessed that the day was a success and thanked both the participants and those who had worked behind the scenes. According to Razavi, the follow vehicle, which was supposed to have speakers mounted, had been sabotaged. He wrote that individuals from the far left had stolen banners and cut the wires to the sound system near the stage close to Christiansborg while the organizers were at Kongens Nytorv. Razavi stated that the sound technician had been shocked but not physically assaulted, and that he had repaired the damage before the parade arrived. Despite what he described as attempts to sabotage the event and limit the participants' right to assemble and express themselves, both the parade and the program had been carried out, he wrote. #dkpol #dkmedier #ytringsfrihed #forsamlingsfrihed #deltagerdemokrati (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW, together with the AfD, pushed for a motion in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt for diplomacy and an end to the sanctions against Russia. She said that this marked the first time a German parliament has called for peace negotiations, an end to escalation, and a stop to the billions in aid to Kyiv. Wagenknecht described the motion as the fulfillment of a key campaign promise of the BSW. The party rejects the firewall and aims to use majorities in the state parliament to improve people's lives through substantive cooperation with all democratically elected forces, she wrote. She intends to discuss the next steps in Saxony-Anhalt with Claudia Wittig, the deputy chairwoman of the BSW parliamentary group in Magdeburg. #Frieden #Diplomatie #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

Aron Flam wrote that France still had nuclear power, while Germany had shut down its and purchased Chinese replacements. He claimed that Sweden had hydroelectric power and reactors but had agreed to forgo the reactors, and that the power grid could not be maintained if supplies were halted without its own inverters, cells, and high-voltage parts. Flam said that this was the situation Doran and Shaffer described. According to him, China had expanded more of each energy type, the USA was pressured to shut down its power production, and Europe had already shut down its, while lacking the energy and manufacturing an ally would need if a conflict was no longer decided at the negotiating table. He wrote that this was why he believed energy policy was security policy and referred to a whole section on YouTube. #Energipolitik #Kärnkraft #Säkerhetspolitik (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Donald Trump had suspended the Russia sanctions that he himself signed in mid-September and which were supposed to come into effect automatically the next day. She wrote that tariffs of up to 100 percent on large consumers of Russian oil and gas, levies of up to 500 percent on Russian goods, and measures against the shadow fleet and banks were planned. Two days before the deadline, Trump resorted to an exception that allowed for a waiver in the national interest; according to Laska, he did not provide a justification. As a possible background, Laska mentioned a diesel deal announced by Trump with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury Department had granted a license to Russian energy producers for that until April; furthermore, a U.S. government representative said that easing penalties against the shadow fleet was being considered. Laska connected this with the upcoming U.S. elections in two and a half weeks and high fuel prices. However, Trump blamed Ukraine for the prices, claiming they had attacked Russian refineries, she wrote. According to Laska, Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's representative for business with the U.S., was already talking about joint data centers and small nuclear power plants. Dmitriev reportedly said, "the ice is beginning to break." She also pointed out that Congress passed the sanctions by a large majority and that the law was named after Lindsey Graham, who had died in July. She wrote that seven Republican senators had urged Trump to reverse the diesel deal. Regarding Volodymyr Zelensky's reaction to the question in Brussels about whether Trump was making him a scapegoat, Laska wrote that he had remained silent for 15 seconds, grinned, and said, "That is my answer." Laska stated that she concurred with his reaction but refrained from grinning. #Trump #Ukraine #Sanktionen (translated)
