Sarah Zickler summarized the political and social status quo from her perspective. She anticipated the election of the first AfD state president the following day, and in Berlin, a takeover by the successor party of the SED. Lars Klingbeil had suggested a tax on plastic packaging following the failure of the sugar tax, she wrote. Philipp Amthor is returning his beach chair while Friedrich Merz travels to Ukraine to assure that Germany will not demand repayment of its loans, according to Zickler. She described the CDU as weaker than ever in polls and Merz as the most unpopular chancellor of all time. She also referred to new elections in Spain, unrest in France, and costs of 24 million euros for a fence at Schloss Bellevue. Heidi Reichinnek was also mentioned by Zickler: she believes it is wrong to deport rapists and murderers who are required to leave, as they would be too dangerous for women in their home countries and should therefore stay in Germany. In conclusion, Zickler ironically commented on the situation as something that is going “well” for us. #Politik #Deutschland #Nachrichten (translated)
