Miss Eve criticized BMW over reports that the car manufacturer withdrew its leasing offer for the new President of the Saxony-Anhalt Parliament on the day of his election. If this is true, the question arises as to whether BMW makes business decisions dependent on the party affiliation of an officeholder, she wrote. She argued that for a company car funded by public means, efficiency and the requirements of the office should count. At the same time, she accused BMW of possibly applying political criteria in selecting customers and warned that these could choose other manufacturers. Miss Eve wrote that she drives a BMW 430i M Sport Coupe, but her leasing contract will soon expire. She could then choose another brand. In the event that BMW excludes customers because of their political views, she noted there are 60.5 million eligible voters in Germany, 30.5 percent potential AfD voters, and 18.5 million disgruntled customers. #BMW #Automobilindustrie #Kundenservice (translated)

"The first step for new trust is: Implement what you have already agreed upon," he said at an event of the German brand economy in Berlin directed at the coalition of CDU and SPD.

Ida Gabrielsson questioned after a discussion with Martin Ådahl whether there was any other party that the Center Party considered sufficiently acceptable. She wrote that C had tolerated the Social Democrats and the Green Party because they had previously agreed to govern with bourgeois economic policy so that C would not collaborate with the Sweden Democrats. At the same time, she argued, C had criticized S for its migration policy and rejected the Left Party despite V agreeing with C on the issue. Gabrielsson contrasted this with what she described as a contradiction in the Center Party's rhetoric on decency. She pointed to ministers from the Moderates whom she considered increasingly Trump-like and accused them of going after journalists and conducting negative campaigns, as well as statements from the KD leader, the right's talk of voters as voting cattle, and comments from Member of Parliament Lars Beckman (M) and Alice Teodorescu (KD), whom she described as conspiracy theorists. She wrote that Ådahl and C seemed to believe that the former alliance parties did not really support their current policy, but had been kidnapped by SD and deep down wanted to return to the era of Fredrik Reinfeldt. Gabrielsson argued that Ådahl and Magdalena Andersson seemed to think that the parties would return to the center when the Tidö cooperation ended. She called the view condescending and emphasized that the changes could also have been made deliberately and voluntarily. During the election campaign, Gabrielsson stated, she had spoken with a leading center-right politician from Stockholm about more people voting for SD in the area where she grew up. She recounted that she had highlighted material and social reasons for dissatisfaction and mentioned a neighbor who worked almost around the clock on his farm and cleared snow in half of Norrland during the winters. According to Gabrielsson, the center-right politician had responded that a difficult life did not excuse a vote for SD, as others with difficult lives did not vote for the party. Gabrielsson also relayed that her father, who grew up in Ockelbo, used to refer to C and the farmers as "the right aristocracy." On Tuesday, he had told her that he had closed the door on a DN Kultur journalist who wanted to discuss the family's background and life in the countryside and in the industrial town of Åmotsbruk. Her father had also criticized C as the worst party of the day and said he preferred the party when it was at least a farmers' party. Gabrielsson wrote that she had corrected him, but at the same time agreed that a party with 7 percent could be perceived as self-satisfied if it assumed that others would follow its line. #Centerpartiet #Sverige #politik (translated)

The author described the news as bitter. With the loss of production, many porcelain craftsmen would lose their jobs; at the same time, Thuringia would, in his assessment, lose a flagship and a brand ambassador. He wrote that even a big name would lose some of its shine and appeal as a result. https://t.co/WYJvWMT8lt #Thüringen #Porzellan #Nachricht #DE #TH (translated)

Mats Yxhäll claimed that SVT had omitted that the protests took place in immigrant-dense areas, including Seine-Saint-Denis, where two-thirds of the population, according to him, had an immigrant background. He also wrote that SVT had reported unilaterally on people injured by police, but not on police who were injured. Yxhäll referred to an incident in Paris last Thursday, when a group, according to his account, chased a female police officer, knocked her down, and assaulted her during a school protest. He stated that video showed shouts to kill the police, that prosecutors initiated an investigation, and that Nuñez said that 305 police officers and gendarmes were injured during Thursday's unrest. Yxhäll asked if the readers recognized the pattern. #Sverige #Protester #Media (translated)

Alexander Teske wrote that his bicycle was stolen on that day. It was the fifth bicycle theft his family had experienced in two and a half years. After the previous theft, the household insurance had terminated the contract. The bike had been secured with two high-quality locks of different brands to a grid. Teske explained that he had to lock it up on the street because there was no bike storage and parking it inside the house was prohibited. Since he lived in the attic, it was not practical for him to carry the bike up and down every time. There were hardly any secure bike parking spaces available; those that existed were fully booked. Teske questioned the sense of expanding bike paths and promoting environmentally friendly and healthy cycling if bicycles were consistently being stolen. Good bikes had become more expensive and were no longer available for under 1,000 euros, he wrote. In 2024, 11,428 bicycles were reported stolen in Hamburg, of which 440 were recovered. Not all cases were reported, he added. Teske also wrote that the fundamental need for security was being permanently violated, and this could have consequences at some point. #Fahrradklau #Sicherheit #Umweltschutz (translated)

The Swedes have taken the land, allowed mines and wind power where the reindeer should roam, sent the children to boarding schools, and said that we should become like everyone else. What have they really done for us?! ... – The healthcare. – Oh. The healthcare. – The schools. And that the children actually learn to read, even if it was initially in the wrong language. – The roads. And that one can get around even when it’s thirty below and dark for five months. – The power grid. The internet. That one can sit in a tent and send emails to the County Administrative Board. – Child benefits. The pension. That one doesn't have to choose between starving or completely giving up the reindeer. – The Sámi Parliament. – The right to complain loudly without being shot. That’s something. ... – Okay. But apart from the healthcare, the schools, the roads, the electricity, the internet, the child benefits, the pension, the Sámi Parliament, and freedom of speech... what have the Swedes ever done for us? – The helicopters? – And the coffee. – Yes. They should get credit for the coffee. #SvenskHistoria #SamiskKultur #Yttrandefrihet (translated)

Der Kommentar von BILD-Olympia-Chef Frank Schneider betont die Notwendigkeit, dass München für die deutsche Olympia-Bewerbung gewinnen muss, da die Stadt weltweit als eine der wichtigsten Sportmetropolen anerkannt ist und im Wettbewerb gegen andere Länder wie Katar oder Indien auf ihre starke Markenidentität setzen sollte. #München2026 #Olympia #DOSB

In ihrer Verzweiflung über den eigenen Niedergang wirft die CDU jetzt ihren letzten Markenkern über Bord: Aus „Sozialer Marktwirtschaft“ wird der SPD-Schlachtruf „soziale Gerechtigkeit“ – also Grundsicherung bis zum Abwinken. Die CDU streicht einfach den Markt raus, nur um weiter mit den Genossen regieren zu können. Wer glaubt, damit Wahlen zu gewinnen, benutzt einen Felsbrocken als Rettungsring. #CDU #sozialeGerechtigkeit #Wahlen
