LilitThyra asked if anyone could provide convincing evidence that Zelensky is interested in peace. In her opinion, both Zelensky and most EU heads of state are equally uninterested in peace. She claimed that the war serves to maintain power and allows for the movement of funds and earning money through investments in the arms industry. According to her depiction, if peace were to occur, the flow of money into Ukraine and to Zelensky would dry up, and elections would take place. Zelensky would lose these, lose everything, and have to disappear; thus, the entire operation would be exposed, she wrote. #Frieden #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

GFrei.News referred to democracy as a facade for corruption and criticized that citizens could only vote for the Bundestag every four years and for state parliaments every five years. Regardless of the election results, parties declared themselves winners and claimed a mandate to govern, the author wrote. Subsequently, they would use parliamentary procedures and loopholes to gain power and circumvent the will of the voters. GFrei.News accused politicians from established parties of profiting from high salaries, expensive hotels, chauffeurs, and private flights after taking office, and leading a taxpayer-funded life like super-rich individuals. The author also mentioned secure pensions after just a few years in office, appearances on talk shows and company visits, as well as a lack of attention in parliamentary debates. Laws would be passed behind closed doors with a government majority; committees and debates were merely a stage act for the cameras, GFrei.News claimed. The political leadership had made the state prey and was failing its mandate to the populace, the author wrote. He called for a shift to direct democracy, where citizens could stop harmful laws and remove politicians before the end of their terms. Finally, GFrei.News criticized that leaving out a tie with a suit was careless. https://t.co/FDN07LHPIX #Demokratie #Politik #Korruption (translated)
