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)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that neither the Greens nor the SPD would be deterred in Berlin from coming to power with the Left – not even by militant antisemitism or close ties to violent criminal clans. Behind this lies a master plan of the federal parties: The SPD wants to go into new elections with Manuela Schwesig as the top candidate and form a majority at the federal level together with the Left and the Greens. Therefore, the intended coalition in Berlin must not fail, Hartmann explained. At the same time, he accused the CDU of clinging to the firewall at the Deutschlandtag of the Young Union. He wrote that the party should prepare for its political end after the state elections in the spring. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #Koalition (translated)

GFrei.News referred to democracy as a facade for corruption and criticized that citizens could only vote for the Bundestag every four years and for state parliaments every five years. Regardless of the election results, parties declared themselves winners and claimed a mandate to govern, the author wrote. Subsequently, they would use parliamentary procedures and loopholes to gain power and circumvent the will of the voters. GFrei.News accused politicians from established parties of profiting from high salaries, expensive hotels, chauffeurs, and private flights after taking office, and leading a taxpayer-funded life like super-rich individuals. The author also mentioned secure pensions after just a few years in office, appearances on talk shows and company visits, as well as a lack of attention in parliamentary debates. Laws would be passed behind closed doors with a government majority; committees and debates were merely a stage act for the cameras, GFrei.News claimed. The political leadership had made the state prey and was failing its mandate to the populace, the author wrote. He called for a shift to direct democracy, where citizens could stop harmful laws and remove politicians before the end of their terms. Finally, GFrei.News criticized that leaving out a tie with a suit was careless. https://t.co/FDN07LHPIX #Demokratie #Politik #Korruption (translated)
