BrennpunktUA reported that a well-informed source from the Union informed him that at the CDU Presidium retreat on October 11, there are plans to put Friedrich Merz under pressure also because of his support for Ukraine. Unlike earlier initiatives from East German state associations, there is strong backing from the South and support from the West of Germany this time. According to the source, there is a catalog of several demands that should be implemented in a short time. Otherwise, Merz could lose support, which according to BrennpunktUA could mean the end of his chancellorship. At least two of the demands aim to move away from Merz's previous Ukraine policy. BrennpunktUA warned that Merz's downfall would significantly worsen the situation for people in Ukraine. The chancellor is now under pressure not only from parties on the left and right margins and a faction in the SPD that he labeled as pro-Moscow but possibly also from within the Union starting this weekend. He called on supporters of Ukraine to use the information at their discretion and said it should be kept in mind when making public statements about Merz. #CDU #Ukraine #Politik (translated)
Tobias Huch accused Federal President Steinmeier of relativizing the suffering of October 7, 2023, with a statement and equating Israel with antisemitic terrorism. This, Huch wrote, inflames antisemitism. He also criticized Steinmeier's Iran policy during his time as Foreign Minister and claimed it contributed to setting the Middle East on fire. Steinmeier had, at that time, supported Israel's enemies like hardly anyone else. Huch called him the worst Federal President in history and accused him of devaluing the Federal Cross of Merit by awarding it to people more favorable to him. #Bundespräsident #Antisemitismus #Nahostkonflikt (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)
