A good friend moved to a small wine village in Baden-Württemberg a few years ago, sparbuchfeinde wrote. The man is married, has a child, bought a house, and has a company car parked in front of his door. The stories from the village with 800 inhabitants surprised him: As soon as his friend's caravan is parked on the street, a neighbor calls the regulatory office. After returning from vacation, the authority appeared two hours after the caravan was parked to unpack in front of the house. Furthermore, there are already two stationary speed cameras in the village; the municipal council recently approved two more. At the same time, the winemakers have been complaining for years about too few tourists. However, a well-attended party series by one winemaker was discontinued after citizens and other winemakers complained about noise and parked cars, sparbuchfeinde wrote. #BadenWürttemberg #Weindorf #Nachbarschaft (translated)

Martin Reichardt thanked the CSU for documenting the appearance of Vice President Andrea Lindholz and Bernd Kaiser for a comment he reportedly adopted. Reichardt recalled a statement made by Left Party MP Gebel in March. She had countered him in the Bundestag by saying that the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, but he was still more sensitive. According to Reichardt, this remark was met with thunderous applause; no one was offended by the wording. Gebel had also miscalculated by 7,000 nerve endings. This week, Reichardt hinted that Gebel did not know her own sexual organ. Lindholz subsequently spoke of an invasion of privacy and misogyny, and imposed a fine on him, he wrote. Reichardt accused the Bundestag of double standards: when a left-wing politician aims below the belt, it is cheered, while the same wording from a conservative is regarded as an attack on the dignity of parliament. He described this as a whiny double standard and demanded that the parliament not measure with a double yardstick. #Doppelmoral #Klitoris #Bundestag #Doppelmoral #Bundestag #Politik (translated)

Dietmar Pichler described an unnamed statement as historically unique and highly absurd. According to his portrayal, the Ukrainians patriotically defended their country against an aggressor that wanted to steal, occupy, and destroy it. From his perspective, a right that distorted reality in such a way had no credibility – not even on the traditional right-wing issue of "law and order." #Ukraine #Krieg #Frieden (translated)

"I advocated this morning in various smaller meetings that we do everything to help Ukraine over the winter, also to help next year." Chancellor Friedrich Merz advocated for greater support for Ukraine at the EU summit in Brussels. "We will also have to increase the funds here to truly help Ukraine in the long term." Chancellor Friedrich Merz advocated for greater support for Ukraine at the EU summit in Brussels. "We are seeing an increasingly ruthless wave of attacks from Russia." Merz referred to his recent visit to Kyiv. "We are defending the political order of Europe, which is really being pressured by Russia in every respect." He remains convinced that one is not just defending the existence of the attacked country. "This is our issue, and we will decide on it." The assets, about 210 billion euros, should remain in Europe, said the Chancellor. #UkraineHilfe #EUgipfel #FriedrichMerz (translated)

Matthias accused Egon Krenz of having asked Mikhail Gorbachev during a visit to Moscow on November 1, 1989, for the deployment of Soviet troops against East German citizens. Gorbachev rejected this and stated that the troops would remain in their barracks. Krenz only signed the order against the use of firearms on November 3, Matthias wrote. He claimed that Krenz later falsely asserted that he had prevented bloodshed in the fall of 1989. The responsible commanders on the ground had waited in vain for orders from the leadership and had independently ordered not to shoot. Matthias also accused Krenz of shared responsibility for election fraud in May 1989 and wrote that he had approved of the Tiananmen massacre. Furthermore, Matthias pointed out that Krenz had been sentenced in 1997 to six years and six months in prison for manslaughter and co-responsibility for the East German border regime, of which he had served nearly four years. He criticized Krenz's complaints about the conditions of his detention in the Plötzensee prison, his defense of the GDR, and his complaints about the amount of his pension. Matthias also wrote that Krenz had only been in power for 50 days before being ousted by the people, and he stated that he should have been entitled to social welfare instead of pension and royalty payments. #DDR #Gorbatschow #Wende (translated)

The autumn princess criticized that Esken had repeatedly interrupted the AfD member Przygodda in a committee meeting and had ultimately withdrawn her speaking time. Przygodda had spoken about the isolation of children, closed schools, and their fears during the Corona period, she wrote. The author interpreted the incident as an attempt to prevent a discussion about the measures in place at the time. While the chair must maintain order, it seems as if unpleasant topics are being cut off rather than discussed. She marked the contribution as satire and explained that nothing in it was meant to be taken seriously. #Corona #Kindeswohl #Debatte (translated)
