The author of the article published a satirical text styled as minutes from an extraordinary meeting of the crisis staff. In it, he described President Pavel's return from Morocco, his participation in the elections, acknowledgment of a mistake, and apology as a situation that thwarted the prepared criticism. He attributed to imaginary critics a plan to focus on the cost of the flight, the president's clothing, the car from the airport, his greeting to the electoral commission, and his expression. According to the text, they were to question both the apology and its timing, and to criticize the president regardless of whether he had left or returned. The author concluded by stating that the text is a fictional satire. #politika #satira #prezident (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that the AfD and BSW had presented their first joint substantive proposal shortly after the constitution of the new state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. In this proposal, they demanded, according to their portrayal, to stop German financial and military support for Ukraine and to lift sanctions against Russia. The state government should advocate for this in the Bundesrat; a special session is planned for October 14. Laska referred to a statement by BSW faction vice Claudia Wittig, who had called for a policy that thought more about Köthen than about Kyiv. In contrast, Laska presented results from the Saxony-Anhalt Monitor 2025: out of 1,077 respondents, who could name up to three problems, foreign policy was mentioned twelve times. Infrastructure and mobility ranked first with 360 mentions, economy and finance second with 352, followed by social issues, jobs, and education. Laska wrote that decisions on arms deliveries and sanctions were made by the federal government and the EU, while municipal financial equalization was state law. Therefore, the AfD and BSW had initially used their joint majority for a topic that the state parliament could not change, rather than for municipal finances. She described this as populism and accused the parties of pursuing a policy in the interests of Moscow. #SachsenAnhalt #AfD #Politik (translated)
