Steven Arrazola de Oñate described Trump's response as interesting and wrote that there was much speculation about the backgrounds of the war. He suggested that the American president might have information that was not public. As a reason to critically examine the official narrative, he referred to previous CIA involvement in regime changes and the destabilization of governments, including in Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, and Chile in the 1970s. According to him, that did not prove anything about the current war in and of itself. Arrazola de Oñate found Trump's wish to end the war even more important. He wrote that thousands of soldiers were dying every month and that preventing more casualties should carry more weight than trying to prove one's own point. At the same time, he stated that a large part of the European political elite depicted Trump as a dangerous dictator, while those same politicians, according to him, insisted on continuing the fight. He wrote that negotiations were framed as weakness and continuing to fight as moral superiority. Finally, he stated that the truth would ultimately come to light. #Trump #oorlog #waarheid (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that, in his opinion, the media repeatedly selected testimonies from people who were active in the PVDA in reports about the consequences of a smaller government. He stated that one of them said they had to skip meals due to the policy but had money for solidarity trips to Cuba. The measure in question limited child benefits to the age of 23, Vande Reyde wrote. He added that there were exceptions for cases with valid reasons and risk of poverty, but claimed that these did not apply to the activists involved. According to Vande Reyde, the same PVDA activists were at the forefront of various protests, from climate marches to protests against coalition agreements. He also claimed that the media once portrayed an adult PVDA member of parliament as a protesting student. Vande Reyde wrote that this kind of reporting was a reason for the historically low trust in the media. #Media #België #PVDA (translated)

Arthur van Amerongen wrote that he believes Renze's talk show would flop, just like Twan Huys's program did earlier.

The author wrote that Economic Minister Katherina Reiche is reviving Habeck's heating law and is relying on "green gas." He claimed that there is too little of it, it is too expensive, and it burns the residents' wealth in the heating cellar. Furthermore, he accused Reiche of talking to the right, acting green, and profiting from it. #Heizungsgesetz #Energiepolitik #Klimaschutz #DE (translated)

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)

The AfD could not do it, she wrote. #Politik #Landtag #AfD (translated)

"make it very clear, because there is always talk of savings and cuts: We are always talking about an increase from the current standpoint, the only question is to what extent this increase will take place." Stocker said to the media before the start of the summit that he wanted to "make it very clear, because there is always talk of savings and cuts: We are always talking about an increase from the current standpoint, the only question is to what extent this increase will take place." #EUBudget #Frugale #Kohäsion (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote to the Police_NRW_E, asking them to leave the choice of words to them. He justified this by stating that the people are sovereign and that state power emanates from them, while state officials merely belong to the executive authority. They should not admonish citizens or dictate how they should speak, as they are not subjects, he wrote. #Souveränität #Grundrechte #Demokratie (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that he received numbers from Bavaria, according to which there are 275 classes without German-speaking native speakers and 1,209 classes with a migration share of 100 percent. He criticized that the CSU boast about their border controls and rejections despite this. Nethe wrote that Germany has changed demographically and is now a multicultural society. Especially in large cities, the proportion of people with an Islamic migration background is high. This poses challenges for society in terms of integration, education, and cohesion. If integration fails and parallel societies solidify, significant potential for conflict can arise from this, he wrote. He called for an open and honest debate about it. #Integration #Migrationspolitik #Multikulturalismus (translated)
