Audi must pay a fine of 7,500 euros due to a bizarre incident in which a cooling fan was forgotten, after Freddie Slater had to be called back to the pits during his first practice for the team. #Formel1 #Audi #Strafe (translated)
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann wrote to Wolfgang that they should clarify the matter better internally. He had misunderstood the essence of her criticism: it is not about business decisions, but rather that a German CEO allows himself to be used for the propaganda of an erratic US president who harms Germany's security and economy. In addition, Wolfgang had forgotten about the diesel scandal; although there was a lot of politics involved, it was not exclusively political. #Politik #Unternehmenskultur #Kritik (translated)
GFrei.News asked why Audi is investing billions in Georgia in the USA while the company plans to cut more than 7,000 jobs in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. The author cited high energy costs, labor overhead, taxes, bureaucracy and regulation, as well as what he considers unpredictable politics as reasons. According to GFrei.News, the German government has already largely destroyed several areas of technology in which Germany had been a leader. The author mentioned nuclear energy, fracking, magnetic levitation technology, genetic engineering, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, and identified the automotive industry as the next affected area. Moreover, GFrei.News wrote that the automotive industry consists not only of Audi but also of numerous suppliers, many of which are already insolvent. These suppliers are often central employers and bearers of prosperity in small towns. The development is not primarily attributed to globalization, China, or other scarcely controllable forces, but rather to decisions made by their own government, which are supported by mainstream media, according to the author. #Autoindustrie #Investitionen #Deutschland (translated)
Power politicians and their financial aristocracy have forgotten that a people eventually rebels when they are constantly squeezed. Not that there haven't been demonstrations, but these are different. It's not about peace, climate, or nuclear power; it's about living with dignity. That's where the "fun" stops. ☝️ (translated)

Key Pousttchi criticized Lars Klingbeil and other politicians, lamenting that people had become accustomed to individuals he portrayed as underperforming and politically motivated. He referred to Klingbeil as an Antifa member, a graduate of a narrowly focused political science program, and an SPD politician who had climbed the ranks through internal party networks. Pousttchi attributed to former Finance Minister Jörg Kukies a degree in economics, a doctorate in finance with a focus on venture capital, six years as state secretary under Olaf Scholz, and his previous role as the head of Goldman Sachs in Germany. He wrote that Kukies was a pragmatist. Klingbeil had allegedly pushed him out of office to become finance minister himself, subsequently filling the three highest levels of the finance ministry with party loyalists. This, Pousttchi claimed, had resulted in civil servants losing their chances for advancement and being less able to perform their work well. He stated that things could change immediately, but not with politicians like Klingbeil, Annalena Baerbock, or Philipp Amthor. He added that Friedrich Merz and Hendrik Wüst were no better than Klingbeil. #Politik #Deutschland #Bildung (translated)
The Australian exchange student accused the CDU of failing to mention that, in his opinion, the growth is due to fewer public holidays and trillion-dollar debts. He wrote that the party pumps these debts into tax-dependent fantasy industries and proceeds in a frenzied manner. #Politik #Wirtschaft #Feiertage (translated)

MOURNING VIGIL GERMANY announced that the first mourning vigil was originally planned for September 2, 2025, at Cologne Cathedral Square. Despite months of preparation and timely submission of the application, the event could not take place there; the cancellation was communicated only shortly before the date. Instead, the authorities offered a location outside the center, which, from the organizers' perspective, would not have had the desired symbolic effect. The group stated that they also wanted to remember the girls and women affected by sexualized crimes during the Cologne New Year's Eve of 2015/2016 with the mourning vigil. At that time, at least 661 girls and women aged 15 to 35 were registered as victims, including cases of completed and attempted rape. The group estimates that the actual number is much higher. It is open whether the next mourning vigil will take place in Cologne; otherwise, a visit may occur at a later date. The group explained that they wanted to set a visible sign with a stop in Cologne and not forget the victims. They stated they did not want to influence the outcome of a vote, but the location has great symbolic significance. #trauerwache #deutschland #köln #Silvester #gedenken #solidarität #mädchen #frau https://t.co/409m136JKV #trauerwache #deutschland #solidarität (translated)
In contrast to the program of the now forgotten Nazi victory, the Berlin coalition draft for democracy and society contains only useful points. We are therefore witnessing the core meltdown of the concept of selling capital's pillaging of society as politics. (translated)
Snicklink wrote that the left would realize that their demands for justice and equal treatment had been unsuccessful. The right would find that their desire for safety and tradition had turned against them and had become the basis for their own lack of freedom. Those in the political center, who had remained passive out of fear of taking a clear stance, would also, according to Snicklink, realize that without their own action, nothing would change. Very soon, people would understand that they had been pitted against each other, Snicklink wrote. Their fundamental values and needs, as well as their fears and hopes, had been deliberately addressed— a pattern that had been effective for thousands of years and tapped into tribal thinking. Snicklink also wrote that the human soul had been poisoned by too much information about the trivial and too little about the essential. The human spirit had been shaped and subjugated, and was so far removed from its source that people only found themselves in violence, plundering, envy, and generalizations. They had come to consider this their true nature, Snicklink wrote. The author added that all of this had to happen for people to rediscover themselves. In conclusion, he thanked God for accompanying people on their journey back to love. #Gerechtigkeit #Gesellschaft #Menschlichkeit (translated)
GFrei.News wrote that the German nurse Sonja Nientiet was kidnapped on May 3, 2018, in Mogadishu, where she had worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross. A guard helped the kidnappers; a Kenyan colleague who was also abducted was able to escape. Since then, Nientiet has been allegedly handed over to jihadists. Citing a report from Bild, GFrei.News wrote that the Federal Intelligence Service had determined Nientiet's whereabouts about two years after her kidnapping and a rescue operation was being prepared. The Special Forces command had trained for this, US services had provided reconnaissance information, and the USA had wanted to deploy Black Hawk helicopters. The then-current KSK commander traveled to Mogadishu for reconnaissance. According to the report, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas stopped the operation because it could end in a bloodbath and cost Nientiet or involved soldiers their lives. GFrei.News criticized that Nientiet had not returned to Germany during the terms of Annalena Baerbock and Johann Wadephul. Nientiet's mother Christel passed away in 2024 at the age of 84, without knowing whether her daughter was still alive. In spring 2025, Nientiet asked for help in a video and reported a deterioration in her health. In June 2026, the federal government refused to provide specific information in the Bundestag regarding her health status, whereabouts, or possible initiatives for her release, GFrei.News wrote. The author called on Wadephul to explain what he was specifically doing for Nientiet's return. #SonjaNientiet #Geiselnahme #Bundesregierung (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that ten years after the death of Maria Ladenburger, the case still leaves him speechless. Ladenburger was raped and murdered in October 2016 at the age of 19 while on her way home from a student party in Freiburg. Her murderer, Hussein Khavari, had come to Germany as a refugee and had previously been convicted in Greece for a serious violent crime, Nethe wrote. As the father of a daughter, he can hardly imagine that his own child would not come home because a person with a serious criminal record strikes again, Nethe explained. The protection of the population must take priority. He demanded secure borders, consistent identity checks, and clear entry rules, as well as lawful asylum procedures for refugees seeking protection and regulated access for skilled workers. Criminal offenders, people unwilling to integrate, and those without residency rights must be consistently deported, he wrote. Nethe also criticized that failures of authorities must not be tolerated when people are exposed to avoidable dangers as a result. Ladenburger would be 29 years old today; perhaps she would have started a family or become a doctor, he wrote. She must not be forgotten, Nethe added. #Gedenken #Sicherheit #Asylpolitik (translated)
