The author wrote that new elections in Thuringia and Brandenburg should be prevented because the AfD would easily achieve an absolute majority there.

The author wrote that the confusion surrounding the BSW reveals a pattern of disorientation and calculated power play. According to his presentation, it is no longer about content or a clear line, but rather about the attempt to be active in multiple areas at the same time. #Politik #Thüringen #Machtspiel #DE (translated)

We need to talk about how life becomes affordable for people again. For the answer to this question, the CDU must again reflect on what it was elected for in the federal elections, demanded Thuringia's Prime Minister Mario Voigt in an interview with the dpa news agency. #CDU #Krise #Wahlen (translated)

Thorsten Alsleben wrote that Weber emphasized that the firewall does not replace politics. For the Union, it is a permanent burden to repeatedly vote with leftist parties in the minority governments in Thuringia and Saxony, thereby implementing even more leftist policies. At the same time, the AfD brings CDU content to a vote in parliament individually, against which the CDU must vote due to the firewall, Weber said according to Alsleben. #Union #CDU #Politik (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn painted a confrontation between SPD Interior Minister Georg Maier and Baumann. Maier initially accused the AfD of authoritarian thinking. Baumann replied that Maier did not understand the world, as he stood at 6 percent in Thuringia. Maier then asked if that meant he had to keep his mouth shut and repeated his accusation. Later, he again suggested that Baumann was trying to silence him. Barghoorn described Maier's argumentation as a straw man: Maier had made a false claim and then argued against it. Barghoorn also wrote that he was not surprised that nothing was working in Thuringia anymore, and that those addressed and their embarrassing domestic intelligence reports were no longer taken seriously. #Thüringen #Politik #AfD (translated)

The author wrote that the AfD is the strongest party in Brandenburg with 40 percent, in Saxony-Anhalt with 44 percent, in Thuringia with 40 percent, and in Saxony with 42 percent. At the same time, he asked in a sharply derogatory tone how "broken" someone must be to even bring up a ban on the AfD. #AfD #Brandenburg #Politik #DE #BR #SA #TH #SN (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that he laughed a lot this week because, according to him, the AfD has achieved great successes and his friends have won numerous lawsuits. He was particularly amused that Thuringia's Interior Minister criticized the use of AI by the AfD, while specifically highlighting the Minister's origin from Thuringia. #Thüringen #AfD #Politik (translated)

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)

Tichys Einblick reported that Mario Voigt has given up the fight against the withdrawal of his doctorate and presented his defeat as a great service to Thuringia. Kretschmer and Wüst celebrated him as a model statesman. The phrasing "Inside CDU" was still benevolent; the loss of touch with reality of the CDU is increasingly taking on disturbing forms, the medium wrote. https://t.co/VRdLZIj302 #Politik #Thüringen #CDU (translated)

Wiebke Muhsal criticized that Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) had called for the newly elected state president of Saxony-Anhalt, Tobias Rausch (AfD), to resign from his party position and had described his insistence on it as "strange." Muhsal asked why Klöckner did not make this demand of her party colleague Thadäus König, who, according to Muhsal, has been the state president in Thuringia for more than two years and is also a member of the CDU state board. She questioned why different standards should apparently apply to an AfD state president than to a CDU state president. https://t.co/X8fn4AMWUF #AfD #nurnochafd #afdfraktion #deshalbafd #afdthüringen #AfD #Politik #Landtagspräsident (translated)
