That the Green Özdemir governs Baden-Württemberg like a deep black CDU member: that's given, the people there want it that way. But that he supports Söder's unconstitutional nonsense and thereby promotes the blatant right-wing populism in Germany is a whole different category. (translated)
The author asked what steps Dobrindt took in light of the leaked AfD emails.

Gunnar Schupelius stated that the Left Party, the Greens, and the SPD in Berlin wanted to grant foreigners the right to vote if they had resided in Germany for at least five years.

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the response of the Hessian state government to an inquiry from the AfD states that there are a total of 4,495 prisoners in adult and youth detention as of March 31, 2026. Of these, 1,865 were of Christian faith (41.49 percent), including 841 members of Protestant churches, 712 Catholics, and 312 Orthodox churches. 1,487 prisoners were Muslim (33.08 percent). Compared to a Muslim population share of about 10 percent in Hesse, Muslims are thus approximately three times overrepresented in correctional facilities, Kussmann wrote. For the Rockenberg Juvenile Detention Center, she mentioned 131 prisoners, including 78 Muslims (59.54 percent), 17 members of Protestant, 16 Catholic, and two Orthodox churches. In Wiesbaden, there were 162 prisoners, including 79 Muslims (48.77 percent), 14 members of Protestant, 17 Catholic, and five Orthodox churches. Furthermore, nine prisoners were affiliated with Buddhism and twelve with Judaism across the state. 775 made no statement, for which Kussmann cited a proportion of 1724 percent; 328 were without denomination (7.30 percent). According to Kussmann, the state government does not want to specify the number of extremist or radicalization-relevant prisoners. She wrote that politically motivated crime is subdivided into five areas: For right-wing politically motivated crime (PMK), there is a medium double-digit number of prisoners, almost exclusively Germans; for left-wing PMK, there is a low single-digit number, exclusively Germans. For foreign ideology PMK, she mentioned a low double-digit number, including Syrians and others; for religious ideology PMK, a low to medium double-digit number, including Germans, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, and others. In the case of other classifications, the number is low double-digit and the prisoners are exclusively Germans. As examples of the listed crimes, Kussmann mentioned among others murder, attempted murder, terrorist organizations, genocide, rape, fraud, and driving without a license. #Hessen #Justiz #Gefängnisse (translated)
Marcus Mittermeier wrote that he does not like the AfD, among other reasons, because he considers it anti-constitutional. In his view, the party stands for pessimism, hate, envy, and very bad moods. He wrote that nothing will improve because of them. #AfD #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)
Kolja Barghoorn referred to a witty comeback from Helmut Kohl in response to the question of what he was getting paid for. He wrote that an AfD politician would be considered anti-constitutional today for a similar remark and called that ridiculous. #Politik #AfD #Schlagfertigkeit (translated)

Baha criticized that journalists, in his opinion, downplayed the Left Party. He accused them of ignoring anti-Semitic currents, connections to criminal clans, and memberships in organizations that the Constitution Protection Agency classified as extremist and anti-constitutional. According to his portrayal, such aspects were treated as unproblematic if they aligned with one's own worldview. #Politik #Journalismus #Antisemitismus (translated)
Coxx wrote that, in his opinion, the constitutionally hostile controversies surrounding Die Linke in Berlin continued. He claimed that Elif Eralp had contacts with the PKK and met in August during the election campaign with a delegation of Kurdish organizations, which also included members of NAV Berlin. According to Coxx, the security authorities classified the association as a front organization for the prohibited PKK. He also pointed out that the Left Party member of the Bundestag, Ferat Koçak, had previously spoken out against a PKK ban in Germany. #DieLinke #PKK #Berlin (translated)
The author wrote that the CDU-affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation had concluded that the AfD was opposed to the Basic Law and behaved in an unconstitutional manner. According to his assessment, the reasons mentioned by the foundation largely matched the findings of serious constitutional lawyers; this was not surprising. In the end, he began to announce an objection but did not elaborate on it. https://t.co/nC9W8MEk0k #AfD #Verfassungsschutz #Politik #DE (translated)
AllyAgainstHate wrote that experts had found the AfD to be hostile to the constitution. Many people on X had been saying this, according to him, for over ten years. He commented that such an assessment apparently only receives groundbreaking treatment when experts reach the same conclusion after years of examination. He ironically referred to the process as a belated realization that now has received an expert opinion. https://t.co/6napjsYxrr #AfD #Verfassungsrecht #Eilmeldung (translated)
The author wrote that many had focused on warnings about an allegedly unconstitutional AfD, while the "extremist left," according to his account, had come to power in Berlin. He described this as a clever maneuver and said that many had fallen for it. #Politik #Deutschland #AfD (translated)

Der Verfassungsschutz weiß angeblich von jedem AfD-Politiker, was er schon im Kindergarten gemacht hat. Aber dass die Berliner Linken-Spitzenkandidatin Elif Eralp bis 2025 jahrelang Mitglied in der verfassungsfeindlichen „Roten Hilfe“ war, fällt erst jetzt auf? Auf dem linken Auge komplett blind! Wie geht das? Wie soll man diese Institution vertrauen? 👁️❌ #Verfassungsschutz #Doppelmoral #Berlin #Verfassungsschutz #Doppelmoral #Berlin
