This has definitely changed the perception of citizens of politics. Martin Fuchs, a political and digital advisor, has been observing political social media communication for years and says: "This has definitely changed the perception of citizens of politics. Because, of course, most of the things that become prominent and gain widespread attention are those that are polarizing, those that are exaggerated, #SozialeMedien #Bundestag #Politik (translated)

Patrick Berger said that Borussia Dortmund is not sufficiently staffed in the wing positions; this was again evident to him in Bodø. While Maximilian Beier always gives his all, he is not a long-term solution there. Furthermore, Niko Kovač does Karetsas no favor by forcing him into a system where he primarily has to work defensively. The game with inverted wingers also only works to a limited extent. Overall, Berger felt that work ethic and intensity were a complete failure, especially against an awkward opponent. The team knew what to expect on artificial turf at the Arctic Circle. #BVB #Bundesliga #Fußball (translated)

We have paid tuition in terms of dueling intensity. But also, how to take advantage of your chances. There are then easier tasks than being 0:3 down at home against Duisburg. Out!

Leah von Roden criticized the CDU proposal to leave the room as a faction during the election of the Minister President in Saxony-Anhalt. She wrote that this demonstrates the "depravity, stupidity, and superficiality" of politics. In her assessment, the proposal only affects the first and second ballot; in the third, a relative majority is enough while voters wait in the corridors. Von Roden used a derogatory, dehumanizing term for them. #Politik #Wahlen #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

The author wrote that he did not want to defend Reichelt, but he interpreted Stegner's reaction as an indication that Reichelt had caught the SPD off guard. According to his account, leading SPD members had used the whole day of mourning for Bas to exploit what he saw as false attacks on the Union. In this context, particularly left-wing party members had been vocal, whom he characterized with a derogatory term as pro-Russian. He accused Stegner of being the last person to lecture others about decency. #Politik #SPD #Anstand (translated)

BrennpunktUA reported that the attempt to pressure the Chancellor during the CDU retreat on Ukraine policy has failed. Information about the plan had been leaked in many places beforehand, so they were prepared for it. Their own contribution was supposed to play a small role in this. Citing a Union source, BrennpunktUA wrote that Markus Söder publicly blamed the CDU state leaders from East Germany during Miosga's broadcast, although his internal stance had been questionable beforehand. BrennpunktUA described Michael Kretschmer’s public statement as an aftereffect of the failed uprising on this issue. Additionally, BrennpunktUA thanked those who shared and commented on their contribution from October 7. This may have been noticed in some CDU circles. BrennpunktUA emphasized that this does not claim decisive influence, but wrote that a social media community can collectively make a small contribution to influence developments. #Ukraine #CDU #Politik (translated)

In the end, there were two things about this game that were really cool. On the one hand, we had over 58,000 people in the stadium. That's absolutely sensational. On the other hand, we were able to win. However, that wasn't due to how we presented ourselves before the break. I didn't like the way we played. That's why there's a lot to do for us. We will demand that from the boys in the coming weeks. Hertha coach Stefan Leitl (49) put it succinctly: "In the end, there were two things about this game that were really cool. On the one hand, we had over 58,000 people in the stadium. That's absolutely sensational. On the other hand, we were able to win.

Bärbel Bas initially expressed her condolences for the death of her stepdaughter, which Bas had mentioned among other reasons for her resignation as SPD chairwoman and Federal Minister of Labor. At the same time, the author suspected that Bas had left a sinking ship in light of difficult political times. In his opinion, she had always been able to withstand headwinds from the coalition or parts of society and reacted sharply to them. Since her stepdaughter had already passed away at the end of September, the timing of her resignation had a certain aftertaste for him. #BärbelBas #Trauerfall #Rücktritt #Bundestagsmandat #Ämtern #Rücktritt #Politik #Trauerfall (translated)

He continued to believe in himself. In the first half, he was late in some actions, but in the second half, it was already better with his first goal. And after the second goal, I had the feeling that he was playing with him. That he knows what to do, with the right timing and good decisions. That's just Piet. He learns from such things and can quickly implement them. An improvement that also impressed coach Miroslav Klose (48): "He continued to believe in himself. In the first half, he was late in some actions, but in the second half, it was already better with his first goal. And after the second goal, I had the feeling that he was playing with him.

The author stated that Emmanuel Macron is today half as popular as at the time of the outbreak of the Yellow Vests movement. He called on everyone to draw the consequences and warned the law enforcement forces who would become complicit in abuses to protect the president that they would not be forgotten. #Macron #GiletsJaunes #Politique #FR (translated)

The account BrennpunktUA wrote that the SPD and the Greens would pay a high political price for their joint course with the Left in Berlin. Over the past 24 hours, he had seen numerous posts from people on X, including celebrities, who had announced their departure – particularly from the Green Party. BrennpunktUA praised those who had publicly stated that for them a line had been crossed the day before. Those who appear with the motto "Never again is now" and simultaneously bring the Left to power in Berlin have, in his opinion, forfeited the right to morally instruct others. The departing members justified their decision among other things with anti-Semitism, the glorification of Islamist terror, and tolerated connections to criminal Arab clan structures. He described the joint statement of the three parties from the day before as worthless. He wrote that he himself had left the FDP many years ago – for different reasons, although it politically remains closest to him. He knows, therefore, how difficult it is to leave a party, especially since memberships are often linked to personal networks and close friendships. He therefore showed great respect for those who left, as they were also taking personal disadvantages into account. #Politik #Grüne #Antisemitismus (translated)

Severin Tatarczyk wrote that BMW wanted to send a political message with the withdrawal of the leasing offer for the President of the State Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. He considered this a mistake: it was about the office and not about the AfD, and companies should remain politically neutral in such matters instead of engaging in activist symbolic politics. In his view, such actions primarily strengthened people in certain circles while additionally supporting the AfD in other milieus. Tatarczyk also questioned how BMW would have acted if a member of the Left had held the office. #Politik #Unternehmen #Neutralität (translated)

BrennpunktUA reported that a well-informed source from the Union informed him that at the CDU Presidium retreat on October 11, there are plans to put Friedrich Merz under pressure also because of his support for Ukraine. Unlike earlier initiatives from East German state associations, there is strong backing from the South and support from the West of Germany this time. According to the source, there is a catalog of several demands that should be implemented in a short time. Otherwise, Merz could lose support, which according to BrennpunktUA could mean the end of his chancellorship. At least two of the demands aim to move away from Merz's previous Ukraine policy. BrennpunktUA warned that Merz's downfall would significantly worsen the situation for people in Ukraine. The chancellor is now under pressure not only from parties on the left and right margins and a faction in the SPD that he labeled as pro-Moscow but possibly also from within the Union starting this weekend. He called on supporters of Ukraine to use the information at their discretion and said it should be kept in mind when making public statements about Merz. #CDU #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

Michael wrote that in Germany a large legal action is being taken over 20 euros, while others like Spahn are not being prosecuted despite allegations amounting to billions. In the case he described, an 80-year-old man gave 20 euros for the coffee fund in a card to the ambulance service that had taken his wife to the hospital after she collapsed. The district did not return the money but forwarded it to the public prosecutor's office for corruption. As a result, an investigation was initiated against the couple for granting advantages. The husband was supposed to have the proceedings dismissed for a fee of 20 euros, which according to Michael would have meant admitting the crime. He refused. The local court rejected the admission of the charge, viewing the gesture as innocent and the accusation as disconnected from reality. Nevertheless, the public prosecutor appealed to the regional court and failed there. The costs are borne by the state, Michael wrote. #Deutschland #Korruption #Rechtssystem (translated)

Severin Tatarczyk stated that there has been another insolvency at Galeria Kaufhof.
