Alexander Teske referred to a text by Raphaël Schmeller, who described the transition from Frank Plasberg to Louis Klamroth as a remarkable decline. Schmeller criticized that in a discussion about Bas' resignation, the focus had mainly been on the relationship between the CDU and SPD: whether the CDU had been too harsh on Bas, whether the SPD had criticized the Union too sharply, and whether joint government work would still be possible afterwards. According to Schmeller, politics had been treated like a difficult couple relationship, while concrete conflicts of interest surrounding pensions, social benefits, and labor market policy had been neglected. He wrote that pensioners collecting bottle deposits, single mothers, and employees fearful of social decline might feel that the discussion did not take them seriously. Instead, it was discussed in the studio whether an SPD politician could accuse the CDU of "inhumanity" in dealing with Bas, while millions of people were concerned about their future existence. Schmeller described the show as politics turning into a spectacle. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Medien (translated)

FrauHodl wrote that the district administration Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis replied to her on October 15, 2026, regarding a request under the State Transparency Act for COVID-19 communication between the health department and the city of Speyer from 2020 to 2023, stating that no documents were available anymore. According to her, the authority cited reasons such as a cyberattack in October 2022, deletion periods for personal infection protection data, and the fact that former Corona scouts were no longer employed. FrauHodl emphasized that she had not requested any personal patient data, but rather official communication, scientific statements, protocols, decision papers, and information on medical consultants. At the same time, the administration stated that the Corona task force of the city of Speyer had worked independently and had its own health consultant. FrauHodl asked who this consultant was, who appointed him, and what recommendations and documents there had been. According to FrauHodl, the authority also stated that contact with virologist Prof. Dr. Isabella Eckerle, who is from Speyer, had "as far as can be traced" not occurred. She demanded information about which files were deleted, when, by whom, and on what legal basis, and which stocks had been searched. The response was not a satisfactory resolution for her and raised further questions about the authority's documentation and accountability. #Speyer #CoronaAufarbeitung #LTranspG #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis #CoronaAufarbeitung #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis (translated)

Dara wrote that ordinary employees were granted at most a few days of special leave after the death of a close relative and were required to return to work afterward. In contrast, Bärbel Bas resigned from her offices but retained her mandate and the associated allowances. Alexander Schweitzer initially lost the state election in Rhineland-Palatinate and has now been appointed Minister of Labor, Dara wrote. His task is to enforce a higher retirement age and changes to the pension without deductions after 45 contribution years – points he had publicly spoken out against just weeks earlier. Dara cited this as an example of the working method of the SPD. #Politik #SPD #Rente (translated)
