Florian Warweg wrote that the federal government had supported the development of video games with 240 million euros. However, the Ministry of Research does not track how many games were released and sold or how many jobs were created as a result. When Warweg referred to criticism from the Federal Court of Audit at the federal press conference, he was informed, according to his account, that the report was not currently public and therefore could not be commented on. Warweg countered that the relevant report had long been publicly available. #Videospiele #Bundesregierung #Transparenz (translated)

FrauHodl wrote that the district administration Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis replied to her on October 15, 2026, regarding a request under the State Transparency Act for COVID-19 communication between the health department and the city of Speyer from 2020 to 2023, stating that no documents were available anymore. According to her, the authority cited reasons such as a cyberattack in October 2022, deletion periods for personal infection protection data, and the fact that former Corona scouts were no longer employed. FrauHodl emphasized that she had not requested any personal patient data, but rather official communication, scientific statements, protocols, decision papers, and information on medical consultants. At the same time, the administration stated that the Corona task force of the city of Speyer had worked independently and had its own health consultant. FrauHodl asked who this consultant was, who appointed him, and what recommendations and documents there had been. According to FrauHodl, the authority also stated that contact with virologist Prof. Dr. Isabella Eckerle, who is from Speyer, had "as far as can be traced" not occurred. She demanded information about which files were deleted, when, by whom, and on what legal basis, and which stocks had been searched. The response was not a satisfactory resolution for her and raised further questions about the authority's documentation and accountability. #Speyer #CoronaAufarbeitung #LTranspG #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis #CoronaAufarbeitung #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis (translated)

Andreas Rosenfelder wrote that the search at DIE ZEIT is only a foretaste. The draft for the "Political Advertising Transparency Act," which implements an EU regulation, is supposed to allow the Federal Network Agency under the leadership of Klaus Müller to order searches of media for violations of disclosure obligations regarding "political advertising" – even without a court order. In his view, the category is completely vaguely defined. Referring to paragraph 6 of the draft, Rosenfelder pointed out that in cases of imminent danger, searches during business hours are possible without a judicial order. #Pressefreiheit #Meinungsfreiheit #Politik (translated)

The AfD parliamentary group in Saxony announced that AfD MP Jörg Dornau had requested the state government to disclose the performance-related compensation of executives at companies in which the Free State has a stake (Drs. 8/7237). This includes, among others, Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, Leipzig Trade Fair, the SAENA Energy Agency, and the porcelain manufactory. Regarding the Leipzig Trade Fair, Dornau received information that there are 42.5 executives in full-time equivalents. The government refused to provide details on fixed salaries and bonus payments. According to publicly accessible sources, the AfD parliamentary group deduced that the CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, including bonuses, is likely to earn between 400,000 to 550,000 euros gross annually. The AfD also found years ago that savings bank executives in Dresden likely earn more than 50,000 euros per month on average (7/10922). Dornau accused the government of not disclosing the compensation of executives at companies with state participation of 51 to 100 percent because this would be difficult to convey to citizens. He assessed that some managers are not very successful but earn more than Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Dornau demanded that the salaries of the CEOs be made publicly accessible, like those of public broadcasting, to avoid the impression of a “CDU cliquishness.” #AfD #Sachsen #JörgDornau #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Landesbeteiligungen #Spitzengehälter #Transparenz #LeipzigerMesse #MitteldeutscheFlughafenAG #AfD #Transparenz #Sachsen (translated)
