The author asked Ulrike Guerot, Teamfreiheit25, and Frauke Petry which freedoms Ulrike Guerot expects in a world where China, Russia, and Iran set the tone. He mentioned freedom of expression, the rule of law, the protection of private property, and free elections. At the same time, he acknowledged that the West has problems and started to connect these to its own liberal values but did not finish the thought. #Freiheit #Meinungsfreiheit #Rechtsstaatlichkeit #CN #RU #IR (translated)

René Springer wrote that the verdict against the state parliament member Wilko Möller shatters his trust in the judiciary. The Federal Court of Justice confirmed Möller's conviction; due to an election poster where parents formed a protective roof with their arms over three children, a fine of 11,600 euros and a criminal record were imposed. The courts evaluated the arm position as a gesture eerily similar to the Nazi salute, according to Springer. He described the verdict as a grotesque overreach of criminal law and wrote that its legal force does not make it more convincing. https://t.co/MYw70mR33J https://t.co/rIF6FkyAp1 #Justiz #Rechtsprechung #Freiheit (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that leftists had cheered when the VW chief appeared at a demonstration against the right, and that BMW had opted against providing a company car for the president of the state parliament. After Elon Musk supported Donald Trump, they had tried to set fire to the Gigafactory in Grünheide. Now they were demanding the resignation of the Audi chief, he wrote. Leftists wanted economic representatives to express political opinions, the author claimed. If their statements did not fit into their own worldview, they would be treated as legitimate targets. Such a development had already occurred in Germany, he added. #Politik #Wirtschaft #Deutschland (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau questioned whether it is the role of a federal president to keep the political opposition in check through legal means. He also criticized Udo di Fabio, whom he described as the intellectual author of the Merz model. Vosgerau wrote that the already ousted Bundestag had loosened the debt brake using extensive special funds and prioritized climate protection in order to win the Greens' support. Later, di Fabio had stated on Phoenix as a neutral constitutional expert that the procedure was constitutionally permissible, without mentioning that, according to Vosgerau, he himself had designed it. Vosgerau also argued that the final decision on the constitutional amendment in the third reading was unconstitutional – contrary to the legal opinion of the Federal Constitutional Court. Since the composition of the new Bundestag was already established, he saw no understandable reason to convene the old Bundestag. A female president of the Bundestag does not have the political right to decide which Bundestag she convenes to enforce certain goals, he wrote. #Bundestag #Verfassungsrecht #Politik (translated)
