Joni Juusela wrote that Herrala's estimate of 30 billion in development aid did not reflect what he considered a terrible situation, as the aid was financed by debt. According to Juusela, the 30 billion euros in development aid had accrued about 15-30 billion euros in interest expenses. He estimated that interest would be about 0.5 billion euros this year at an effective interest rate, or about 1.1 billion euros if the debt stock were to be renewed under current market conditions. Juusela wrote that the interest expenses on the debt taken for development aid would soon surpass the aid itself. He called for the cessation of development aid and stated that only the True Finns were credible in this matter. #kehitysapu #velka #korkokulut (translated)

Tichys Einblick wrote that Lanz could hardly grasp that the firewall had fallen and wanted to talk for as long as possible. Others should also have been allowed to speak, but Bernd Baumann was interrupted as often as possible. The medium described the situation as "four against one" and wrote that the AfD politician remained cheerful nonetheless and said, "I enjoy this." https://t.co/A2qjYqJKIV #Politik #Debatte #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Markus Haintz stated that in most European countries, high officials, ministers, and heads of state are regularly accused and convicted of crimes. According to his account, this typically happens in Germany only when there is criticism of the government line. As an example, he mentioned BND chief Hanning and claimed that he would likely die in custody because he has too much to tell. #Korruption #Rechtssystem #Politik (translated)

KuchenTV wrote that YouTube has penalized and removed his critical video about Sakultendo with a strike. In it, he accused Sakultendo of repeated cyber grooming, attempts to bring minors into prostitution – including payments to partially 14-year-olds for sexual acts – as well as inappropriate behavior towards adult women. KuchenTV explained that he had made these allegations clear publicly. He asked how children would be protected if a critical examination of a man, whom he referred to as at least a hebephile, was prohibited on YouTube. #YouTube #Cybergrooming #Kinderschutz (translated)

The author wrote that the murder had not been an exception, but revealed a trend. He mentioned that, a month later, there was the case of Alexander Litvinenko and that Boris Nemtsov and, later, Alexei Navalny had been used as examples to deter political opposition. He added that in the meantime, dozens of deaths had occurred that he classified as suspicious. #Política #DireitosHumanos #Justiça #RU #UA (translated)

Larissa Fußer wrote that the atrocities of October 7 are not remembered by large parts of the public as they occurred. In her view, the narrative of the terrorists as victims, portraying the actions of Hamas as resistance against oppression, has taken hold too quickly. On the anniversary, she wrote about her disgust at the rising anti-Semitism, even in her hometown. Furthermore, she addressed that many people, including many on the right, do not see that the Israelis are also defending the way of life of the West in the Middle East. https://t.co/lTpsc9oISs #Antisemitismus #Solidarität #Gedenken (translated)

Carlos A. Gebauer wrote that he had read the speech of the newly elected President of the Landtag. Had he reported on it, he would probably have emphasized the statement that democracy does not require unanimity and that a government needs a strong parliament that controls it, questions it, and possibly contradicts it. This is not a disturbance, but part of the democratic process. https://t.co/j5OxVtEdzE #Demokratie #Politik #Parlament (translated)

Hasnain Kazim remembered the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. At that time, he arrived by bicycle in Heidelberg and heard discussions about the attack in the marketplace. The terror had strengthened his resolve to stand against extremism. He described the attack as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Kazim wrote that religiously justified restrictions and violence had occupied him since childhood. He had experienced, among other things, the outrage over a joke by Rudi Carrell about Khomeini, the persecution of Salman Rushdie, and the deaths of more than a dozen acquaintances, friends, and colleagues at the hands of Islamist extremists. He had also found statements that praised Hitler or Osama bin Laden to be profoundly unbearable. Since October 7, 2023, he has observed that Hamas terrorists are celebrated in Germany as well. In Berlin-Neukölln, people distributed candies after the massacre. Kazim also criticized the fact that some young people appeared with keffiyehs and pro-Palestinian slogans without understanding their political and historical significance. He wrote that Hamas fighters and bin Laden are portrayed on TikTok as representatives of the oppressed or as opponents of capitalism. At the same time, Kazim warned of extremists demanding mass "remigration" and threatening people who appeared foreign or Muslim to them. He accused the political center of not rejecting Islamism and the glorification of terror decisively enough and of ceding the political space to others. He did not want to live in a society where extremists set the tone, nor in one where Sharia law prevailed and religious authorities dictated people's lives. Kazim also referred to the vulnerability of people who could be identified as Jewish, as well as the need for protection for restaurants, kindergartens, schools, places of worship, and diplomatic missions. This was neither resistance nor criticism of the Israeli government, he wrote. In conclusion, he commemorated the victims of October 7, wished healing and peace for the injured, and called for the defeat of the terrorists. #Terrorismus #Extremismus #Frieden (translated)
