The post claimed that an NGO held a gender-role workshop for children aged 8–10 at a primary school within 24 hours of the Tisza government voting to scrap Viktor Orbán’s child-protection restrictions. It began to say that the organisers had insisted the workshop was something, but did not complete the statement. https://t.co/aXJPAOYh2T #LGBTQ #Hungary #ChildProtection #HU

Markus Haintz wrote about the account termination of Flavio von Witzleben, stating that almost all savings banks are state-owned banks, but often behave like red-green NGOs. He mentioned that the absurd reasons for termination from his point of view included small donations, cash deposits, as well as a PayPal and a Revolut account. According to Haintz, von Witzleben's lawyer had received the savings bank's response to the lawsuit. According to von Witzleben, the savings bank had cited an unusually high number of small donations. With 199,000 channel subscribers, these were apparently inexplicable for the Karlsruhe savings bank, which is why it suspected money laundering. #Banken #Kontokündigung #Geldwäsche (translated)

The post claimed that an NGO it described as backed by George Soros held gender-role workshops for elementary school children in Hungary. It said the workshops took place one day after Tisza’s parliamentary majority passed amendments to the country’s child protection law, which the post said removed restrictions on promotion; the post ended before specifying what the restrictions concerned. https://t.co/CSmhAeERig #Hungary #GenderEquality #ChildProtection #HU

The Australian exchange student wrote that, in his opinion, Lars Klingbeil could easily eliminate the contributions to the United Nations and the EU, as well as expenditures for NGOs, the citizen money, and development aid. Instead, according to him, the government burdens the citizens more with a sugar tax in order to close existing billion-dollar deficits despite trillion-dollar debts. SPD and CDU thus set their priorities, he wrote. #Politik #Deutschland #Regierung (translated)

Dr. Rainer Zitelmann devised a scenario he refers to as the "script of horror": Manuela Schwesig would take over the SPD leadership in December and allow the coalition to collapse after a grace period. New elections could then take place at Easter 2027, with Schwesig potentially performing as successfully as she did in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. According to Zitelmann, the AfD could remain at around 30 percent, while the CDU/CSU under Chancellor Merz would likely drop to about 17 percent instead of the current 19 percent. Together, that would amount to 47 to 49 percent; however, since the CDU would not want to coalition with the AfD, a blockage would arise. The SPD could rise to over 20 percent with Schwesig as "Merkel 2.0," compared to the current 13 percent. She would position herself as an opponent of the AfD and promise social justice without social reforms or cuts. According to this scenario, the wealthy should bear the costs; media, trade unions, and NGOs would massively support Schwesig. After the election, Schwesig could, according to Zitelmann, negotiate with the Greens and the Left, to whom he attributed 15 and 11 percent respectively. A red-green-red coalition would therefore exceed 46 percent. If that were not enough, a split CDU/CSU could join as another junior partner. Zitelmann wrote that the Union is eager to continue governing and would secure positions and subordinate itself for that purpose. https://t.co/Ldys88KFJ4 #Politik #Deutschland #Wahlen (translated)
