Sahra Wagenknecht accused Friedrich Merz of losing touch with reality and called it absurd to refer to the planned reforms as a "justice program." According to polls, 80 percent of citizens rightly considered the reforms unjust, she wrote. Wagenknecht rejected Merz's statement that no euro for Ukraine was missing from social systems. She claimed that Merz was retrieving the money for the Ukraine aid through cuts in nursing, pensions, and health from the citizens. At the same time, she welcomed the fact that the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt had approved a peace proposal that day. She wrote that Merz was making politics against his own people and was a burden for the country. #Politik #Reformen #Deutschland (translated)

Schulze's approach would make the CDU even more unbelievable to voters, Barghoorn wrote. #SachsenAnhalt #CDU #AfD (translated)

Sparbuchfeinde wrote that the Union sees the breaking of the coalition, a minority government, and extensive reforms with the votes of the AfD as a last resort. According to his account, the SPD is preparing for the end of the coalition and a tough election campaign from the left. He mentioned Manuela Schwesig and Boris Pistorius as possible new top candidates; the SPD, Greens, and Left would oppose the AfD. The Union still holds 28 percent of the seats, but is currently at 17.5 percent in polls, wrote Sparbuchfeinde. In new elections, it would be worn down between the political camps and could, similar to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, experience a complete collapse, he suggested. #Politik #Neuwahlen #Koalition (translated)
"Do you want to go somewhere else? Then say it." Looking at the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU chief Markus Söder called on dissenters within the Union to leave. "Anyone who votes for the AfD does not have much of a future with us." Söder suggested that this probably stemmed from a deep wound within the CDU faction. After these events, Söder would find it "surprising" if the AfD did not also lead the government in the state. "It would be absolutely necessary. The voters in Saxony-Anhalt have already made a very clear statement." "Given the results, you can't say that. I just think that anyone considering doing something like that should have the backbone to make it public." "Also immediately move in the political direction." "Because I find that quite despicable." "Therefore, everyone who is playing with fire (...), should know that in the end it will probably lead to extreme AfD dominance, that the polls will turn into results." "If the second democratic government fails within a few years after the traffic light coalition, it would be a huge blow to democracy." "I appreciate him, I respect him, and I also find that very unfair." "Friedrich Merz remains Chancellor." CSU chief Markus Söder has again backed Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and campaigned for the CSU politician Ilse Aigner as Federal President. "The only personnel matter that personally interests me is not the chancellorship, but I would like Ilse Aigner to become Federal President if at all possible. I am very committed to that." #CSU #CDU #Politik (translated)

Simon Betschinger described BMW's decision not to provide a company car to the AfD as irrational in a contribution referencing a WELT report. He wrote that the AfD is currently polling at 30 percent voter support; the BMW Group sold 290,742 vehicles in Germany last year. BMW risks losing potential buyers who are AfD voters as a result. Betschinger warned of a similar "Go woke, go broke" effect as seen with Bud Light: Its sales in the U.S. have dropped by about 25 percent after the brand took a stance against the Republican Party. #BMW #AfD #Politik (translated)
