Cihan Çelik asked Serap Güler and OomenBerlin if they saw no difference, either in content or historically, between the AfD in its most extreme state associations and the Berlin Left under Eralp.

Miss Holle criticized that the "heute journal" had first shown Reichinnek from the Left, who had complained about the lack of attitude in Saxony-Anhalt. She wrote that precisely the Left tolerates anti-Semites in their ranks in Berlin and maintains close contacts with clans, yet is presented as a benchmark for attitude and decency. https://t.co/djFkl434t0 #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #Rechtsextremismus (translated)
The author wrote that for the first time in the history of the Federal Republic, a right-wing extremist had been elected as the President of Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt – also with votes from the CDU. He described the election as a watershed and criticized that Thierse, Fischer, and others had warned against the Left on the same day. He called it a dangerous insanity. https://t.co/IiuYcx4ZWc #SachsenAnhalt #Rechtsradikalismus #Politik #DE (translated)

ULTRAKÆRL asked whether CDU representatives in Saxony-Anhalt should help fascists to power just because the SPD and the Greens might form a coalition with the Left in Berlin. Anyone who argues like that has "not heard the shot," wrote ULTRAKÆRL. #Politik #Koalition #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
Cihan Çelik wrote to Serap Güler and Oomen that the first far-right state parliament president since 1945 had just been elected.

Markus Bublitz wrote that CDU representatives had not only elected right-wing extremists to office but also denied their votes to the SPD candidate. Meanwhile, Thorsten Frei spoke at a concurrently held press conference about a leftist danger in Berlin. Bublitz described the day as a change in the German political system, the center of which had been the CDU for more than seven decades. He wrote that how far-reaching this change would be now lies in the hands of CDU party leader Friedrich Merz. #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)
The author wrote that the Left has capitulated before the AfD. The Antifa announced 20,000 participants for a demonstration in Magdeburg, but only 200 to 300 showed up. He also referred to Saxony-Anhalt as "blue." https://t.co/FJfEhuLPqd #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #Demonstration (translated)
Markus Haintz referred to a post by Auf1 on Telegram and wrote that AfD member Hans-Thomas Tillschneider had been elected as the first vice president of the new parliament of Saxony-Anhalt. In a secret ballot, he received 44 yes votes, five more than the AfD could have mustered alone with its 39 members. According to Haintz, the BSW had announced before the meeting that they would not vote for Tillschneider. Deputy faction leader Claudia Wittig stated: “Rausch yes, Tillschneider no.” If the BSW stuck to this, at least five votes must have come from members of the CDU, SPD, Greens, or Left Party. However, due to the secret ballot, it could not be determined who voted for Tillschneider, Haintz wrote. He assessed the result as a sign that the so-called firewall had already failed to hold during the first parliamentary session. Besides parliamentary president Tobias Rausch, Tillschneider was also elected to the presidency with votes from outside the AfD. #SachsenAnhalt #Landtag #Politik (translated)

Dana Weinstein wrote that Charlotte Knobloch's concern for Jewish life in Germany is justified. Referring to statistics and the developments of recent years, she claimed that the overwhelming and often violent hatred of Jews today predominantly comes from the left and Islamist spectrum, not from the right. #Juden #Antisemitismus #Deutschland (translated)

NIUS wrote that Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier does not want to be remembered retrospectively as a reconciler of the Germans, but rather as a symbol of the left. The article described him as a point of connection for intransigence, backwardness, and threats. Steinmeier's speech on German Unity Day was said to be a political legacy; the 50-minute speech in Bremen was described by NIUS as extremely toxic. In addition, the medium linked to an edition of "Kissler Kompakt" from October 6. #Politik #Deutschland #Steinmeier (translated)
Max Mannhart wrote that the leader of the Left Party, Eva von Angern, referred to Clara Zetkin in her speech at the opening of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, with regard to Siegmund. Zetkin was the oldest member in the Weimar Republic before Hermann Göring took over the position of President of the Reichstag. Mannhart described Zetkin as a fervent anti-democrat and wrote that she had called for extraparliamentary violence to overthrow the bourgeois state in a speech and celebrated the Soviet Union under Stalin. In a show trial in Moscow, she demanded the death penalty as a prosecutor against political opponents. The author called the reference to Zetkin an example of the historical ignorance of those who speak particularly often and loudly about 1933. #Geschichte #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)
Ben Krischke wrote that Katharina Dröge was right: the political center is shaped by the left. He claimed that the left created the term "center" as a deception maneuver to put people who believe in a traditional family model, two genders, and a serious full-time job under suspicion of radicalism. #Politik #Deutschland #Linke (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)
Martin Hess wrote that new scandals surrounding the Left Party have become known almost daily. Much suggests that so far only a small part of it has come to light. In his view, the radicalization has been able to develop to such an extent because the established parties have ignored developments on the left side for years. https://t.co/XzAydz3ixC #Links #Linke #Partei #Berlin #Antifa #Links #Partei #Skandal (translated)
