Prof. Dr. Susanne Schröter reported that a police officer with a migration background, who was on duty during the riots in Frankfurt, had written a text for the Institute for Democracy and Islam e.V. In it, the officer wrote that the incidents from the previous night had shaken and angered her. She emphasized that origin should not be an excuse for violence or criminal behavior. She expects consistent measures and noticeable consequences for the perpetrators from politics; in cases of serious crimes, potential residency and citizenship law consequences should also be examined. Furthermore, she called on people with migration backgrounds as well as associations and organizations to publicly distance themselves from the actions and to take a stand against violence and crime. In her view, integration also means taking responsibility, accepting rules, and committing to societal coexistence. The officer stated that she stands with Germany, its values, and its legal system. #Gewalt (translated)

He urged people to build pressure together and announced that he would write Brandenburg a first letter upon his arrival in Austria.

A warrant for the arrest of Dr. Paul Brandenburg is in effect, and he was detained at Berlin airport on Wednesday. The author described the process as a declaration of bankruptcy and criticized that in Germany, one is apparently imprisoned for statements made. He mentioned six allegations against Brandenburg in connection with statements about Kai Wegner: four insults according to § 185 of the Penal Code, for which Wegner had filed a criminal complaint, as well as two cases of defamation according to § 188 II variant 2 of the Penal Code, which could also be prosecuted without a criminal complaint. According to the article, the statements affected Jurassica Parka, a civilian, Mario Olszinski, who had been sentenced to ten months of imprisonment on probation for child pornography. Heimatgefühl admitted that Brandenburg could sometimes use borderline words but emphasized that they were just words. The author compared the case to his claim that people who rape women or attack others with knives are released due to alleged mental illnesses. He expressed solidarity with Brandenburg. #Meinungsfreiheit #Solidarität #Rechtsschutz (translated)

Julius Betschka described the text as exceptional and stated that he lacked the words for it. He had previously assumed that at least the leadership of the Left believed in their own trivialization. Now it seems they are recognizing the danger, but apparently no longer dare to take action. https://t.co/w4psn27ziK #Politik #Gesellschaft #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

MWGFD e. V. reported on the case of Ruth Gadé, a courier driver from Hamburg born in 1965, who allegedly stood as a bystander at the edge of a demonstration on January 13, 2022. When police officers approached her, she showed them a certificate for asthma. One of the officers allegedly referred to the doctor as the issuer of bogus certificates, confiscated the copy of the certificate, and temporarily wanted to retain her identification. Gadé subsequently filed a complaint against the supervisory authority. Two days later, she was informed by phone that she was being investigated for using an incorrect health certificate (Section 279 of the German Penal Code). According to MWGFD, she did not receive any written notifications or evidence of any proceeding. It was only in May 2024 that a penalty order for 3,000 euros – 60 daily rates of 50 euros each – was received by her. In this order, she was accused of inciting the issuance of an incorrect health certificate (Section 278 of the old version of the German Penal Code) instead of the original charge. The basis for her certificate was an asthma condition diagnosed by a pulmonologist in 2017. According to the association, Gadé's companion, who had been to the same doctor and experienced the same examination, received a penalty order for 1,200 euros for using an incorrect health certificate. Gadé's suspicion that the charge against her was intensified due to her stance on the mask mandate is her assumption; according to MWGFD, the prosecutor argued that Gadé had requested the certificate primarily in rejection of the mask mandate. According to the association, Gadé was defended pro bono by Tom Lausen. On February 27, 2025, the Hamburg-Harburg District Court acquitted her. The judgment became final on April 3, after the public prosecutor's office withdrew its appeal. She did not receive the written judgment until July 1, 2025. MWGFD referred to Gadé as the first documented patient case in its collection and called on other affected individuals to report their cases via a questionnaire. https://t.co/uDzVxE0HTN #ÄrzteMitGewissen #DoctorsOfConscience #Maskenattest #VerfolgtePatienten #ÄrzteMitGewissen #Maskenattest #VerfolgtePatienten (translated)

Regina Laska criticized statements made by economist Hans-Werner Sinn in a conversation with Ronzheimer. Sinn had blamed the EU CO₂ regulations for the decline of the German automotive industry and said that Chinese and possibly French manufacturers could build better electric cars. Laska countered that Volkswagen is Europe's market leader in electric cars. Sinn also stated that German car executives could not have acted faster and that the Audi CEO must cater to shareholders' interests. In this context, Laska pointed to the elimination of 7,500 jobs in Germany and a factory she estimated at four billion dollars, which was promised by Trump on the campaign stage. She accused Sinn of blaming the industry for the failures of the EU and portraying climate protection as ineffective. Laska criticized that critical inquiries in the conversation did not prevent Sinn from elaborating on his views in detail. She doubted that employees in Aurich and Emden would benefit from his account, asking whether they might be inclined to vote for the AfD because of it. In her estimation, Sinn's narrative would likely remain more memorable than the inquiries, while China is producing electric cars in the millions. As a counterexample, Laska cited Norway: there, 98 percent of newly registered cars are electric, and according to her, the country is doing well. She also noted that there are many German brands on Norwegian roads and that Norwegians are buying them. Laska warned that Germany could one day become the Rust Belt that Sinn had previously described. #EU #Autoindustrie #Klimaschutz (translated)

The author wrote that Nunes Marques, President of the Supreme Electoral Court and nominated by senior Bolsonaro, stated that Lula won the election and emphasized the legality of the ballot.
