Jörg Friedrich described Thuringia's Prime Minister Mario Voigt as a fraud and wrote that his official car is a BMW 740 xDrive with a diesel engine. BMW had not canceled the order for the successor vehicle; Friedrich characterized the car disparagingly as a mafia vehicle. He referred to other rulers with BMW vehicles: Libya's dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi owned an armored 7 Series, and several BMWs of this model were found in the abandoned car collection of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. There were reports in 2019 about the delivery of around 120 BMWs for the King of Eswatini, Mswati III, and his family. North Korea's ruler Kim Jong-un was also seen in a Rolls-Royce Phantom in 2018, Friedrich wrote, noting that the brand belongs to the BMW Group. Finally, Friedrich asked whether the AfD is not getting a BMW and addressed Elon. #BMW #Politik #Korruption (translated)

It is more than concerning that parties in the center want to govern with a party whose youth organization equates the police with serious criminals and does not shy away from celebrating with clan members. Hesse's Interior Minister Roman Poseck (CDU) expressed concern about the possible coalition partners' handling of anti-Semitism and the Left's attitude towards the police. #Antisemitismus #Koalition #Berlin (translated)

A party that cannot establish clarity on dealing with anti-Semitism in the very first conversation should not govern the German capital.

Systemsprenger criticized Bundestag President Julia Klöckner for deeming Tobias Rausch's dual role as AfD state president in Saxony-Anhalt and AfD general secretary to be inappropriate and for calling on him to resign from his party office. As counterexamples from the CDU, the account mentioned Friedrich Merz as federal chairman and current federal chancellor as well as Sven Schulze as prime minister and faction leader. Franziska Hoppermann is the general secretary, responsible for operational business and party organization, as well as federal treasurer. Michael Hose is the deputy general secretary and is primarily responsible for the East German state associations. Furthermore, Systemsprenger listed Hendrik Wüst, Boris Rhein, Michael Kretschmer, Daniel Günther, Kai Wegner, and Gordon Schnieder, who, according to the post, are each prime ministers or governing mayors and at the same time state chairs of their CDU state associations. Philipp Amthor is the state minister for federal-state cooperation in the federal chancellery, acting state chairman of the CDU Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and membership officer of the CDU federal board. The account asked whether the dual roles in other parties should also be examined and expressed its anger over Klöckner's criticism. #Politik #CDU #AfD (translated)

Carsten Jahn from TEAM HEIMAT criticized that Friedrich Merz, the CDU, and the SPD, as well as Thuringia's Prime Minister Mario Voigt, held onto power despite the plagiarism affair. Voigt withdrew his objection without anything changing afterward, Jahn wrote. He called the move a power-political maneuver. Jahn claimed that new elections would harm the CDU in Thuringia and at the federal level. The SPD, Thuringia Gerecht, and the Left would be punished and could possibly be ousted from the state parliament, he wrote. https://t.co/ylU2howLIJ #Thüringen #CDU #SPD (translated)

"If you want to be honest, you have to admit that you are lying. You are not doing this for stability. You are only doing this because you are convinced that otherwise you will lose next time, also because of your divisions." And former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi goes a step further: He accuses Meloni of deliberately bending the rules so that she can continue to govern, even if she performs worse in the next election. #Wahlrecht #Meloni #Italien (translated)

"We want whoever wins an election to have the mandate to govern for five years. So no more surprising political turnarounds, no more tactical agreements in back rooms, as the Democratic Party would like, no more compromises at the expense of the Italians. Citizens should choose the government that listens to them." Meloni said: "We want whoever wins an election to have the mandate to govern for five years.
