He pointed to Eralp's mishap at the Spiegel as well as what he saw as a treacherous quote from a Green.

Horse Trading wrote that he watched a press conference by the Left regarding expropriation in Berlin and, according to his own account, understood how "budget neutrality" works. Ines Schwerdtner explained that the purchase of apartments for 16 billion euros was to be financed through loans. For comparison, Horse Trading described the purchase of a BMW X5 for 95,000 euros that he wanted to finance over 40 years at five percent. The monthly rate would be 458.08 euros, and a total of 219,878 euros would be due, including nearly 125,000 euros in interest. His wife and the two sons were each supposed to pay 152.69 euros monthly as a transportation allowance. His eleven-year-old son asked if he could refinance his share through his console loan; the seven-year-old would therefore have to pay pocket money for 40 years and would be 47 years old when the payments were completed. Furthermore, Horse Trading wrote that he had offered the dealer 60,000 euros and suggested that a court should decide on the residual value. The dealer then threw him out. #Finanzen #Wohnen #Kredite (translated)

Carsten Jahn asked, referring to a previous statement that the greatest danger comes from the right, whether a change in thinking is necessary in light of the comments made by Alexander Dobrindt that he cited. According to Jahn, Dobrindt stated in the "Bild" that attacks on police officers, burning town halls, and violence on the streets do not represent a commitment to better education, but rather an armed struggle against the free society. Furthermore, Dobrindt demanded a clear categorization from the parties in Germany. Those who do not recognize that left-wing extremists and a migrant milieu are jointly opposing the democratic system on the streets do not understand the situation, Jahn quoted the CSU politician. #Deutschland #Politik #Demokratie (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus reported, citing a communication from the ifo Institute dated October 19, 2026, that between the end of 2018 and the end of 2025, Germany had lost 496,000 industrial jobs, a decrease of 7.1 percent. The automobile industry and its suppliers were particularly affected with 123,500 positions, the metal industry with 115,600, and mechanical engineering with 64,500. Including temporary jobs, the institute estimates the loss at around 628,000 positions. According to Boeminghaus, the job losses affected all federal states except for Hamburg. In the east, the loss was 8.4 percent, while in the west it was 6.8 percent. At the same time, more than 2.2 million jobs were added in the service sector, including 391,000 in healthcare, 357,000 in social services, and 329,000 in public administration. Boeminghaus pointed to the warning from ifo researcher Joachim Ragnitz, who stated that the loss of productive and innovative industrial jobs could slow down Germany's growth potential in the long term. https://t.co/5fFlHn6fnZ #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze #Deutschland (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the planned increase in the contribution assessment limit will mean higher costs for many employees, despite an average additional contribution expected to be 2.9 percent in 2027. The limit is to rise from 69,750 to 76,500 euros annually – an increase of about 9.7 percent. As a result, an additional 6,750 euros of annual income will become subject to contributions, particularly affecting well-paid employees. According to Boeminghaus, the additional contributions of health insurance funds in 2026 ranged from 2.18 to 4.39 percent. The higher limit will increase health and long-term care insurance contributions for employees with higher incomes as well as the labor costs for companies. He cited FOCUS online from October 18, 2026, as a source. https://t.co/xVSnHFtnlK #Deutschland #Sozialabgaben #Krankenkassen (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that photos showed politicians' reactions to the case in Grevesmühlen 2024. At that time, due to false reports, it was briefly assumed that a girl from Ghana had been hit in the face by German children and teenagers. Later, this portrayal turned out to be untrue. In reference to the attack this week on a German boy in Frankfurt (Oder) by several youths, who were predominantly perceived as foreign, there were no comparable expressions of outrage and solidarity from the same individuals, Kussmann wrote. She claimed that the reactions depended on the victim's background and quantified the scale from "German = 0" to belonging to asylum origin countries with "100." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Solidarität (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that investments by German small and medium-sized enterprises have fallen to their lowest level in 20 years, according to Creditreform. Only 37.3 percent of the surveyed companies planned investments, down from 43.5 percent in the previous year; in the construction industry, the share was 27 percent. Boeminghaus also pointed out that one in three medium-sized companies has an equity ratio of less than ten percent. Rising order intake was reported by 20.2 percent, while declining order intake was reported by 26.4 percent. While 18.6 percent of the businesses had reduced staff, 14.5 percent had created additional positions. The combination of weak orders, high costs, and lack of investments is increasingly becoming an existential burden for the Mittelstand, he wrote. Reflecting on the much-hailed recovery, he expressed himself ironically. He cited WELT and Creditreform as sources. https://t.co/gqvfmvqiXq #Mittelstand #Wirtschaftskrise #Investitionen (translated)

According to him, the AfD in Magdeburg had 43.8 percent, electing the president and the vice president.
