Markus Frohnmaier criticized Friedrich Merz for wanting to advocate for an increase in aid to Ukraine within the EU. While, according to Frohnmaier, citizens were increasingly becoming impoverished due to rising costs for fuel, food, and housing, and were barely able to cover their expenses, the Chancellor was advocating for more money for Ukraine. If the AfD were to govern, the welfare of the own people would come first again, wrote Frohnmaier. #Ukraine #AfD #Politik (translated)
Simon Betschinger referred to a BILD report about the plans of the Berlin Left for faster expropriations and mentioned the average net cold rent in the Berlin housing stock of Vonovia, including Deutsche Wohnen, at 8.26 euros per square meter.

At the same time, he criticized that left-wing voters believed the measures could alleviate the housing shortage. #BerlinerLinke #Mieten #Wohnungsnot (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the operator of a pharmacy in Bielefeld does not want to serve AfD supporters. The author considered the announced loss of sales to be of little relevance outside the immediate area but estimated it as significant with an AfD voter share of 30 percent and referred to a video that had since been published in which the operator had relativized her statement. As another detail, GFrei.News mentioned a website where businesses could reportedly report losses in sales due to their political stance. The author wrote that the directory was run by a financial advisory for LGBT and mocked its orientation in this context.
