Ben Krischke wrote that the speech of the Federal President on the Day of German Unity and the applause of the 1,000 honored guests were marked by the same authoritarian self-satisfaction that he experienced during the Corona period.

He did not believe that no one had noticed this, Krischke wrote. Nevertheless, no one left the hall, and everyone applauded. #Geschichte #Politik #Einheit (translated)

Fried stated that the STF session had been, in his assessment, the most shameful in history and accused members of the court of protecting themselves in the face of corruption and authoritarianism scandals.

The author linked the session to a nearly 10% drop in Lula's polls and claimed that the PT was trying to cover up corruption and abuse while its supporters endorsed these actions. #STF #Lula #PT (translated)
Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that the SPD is at 13 percent in polls and is nevertheless pushing for a ban on the AfD, which is at 28 percent. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil expressed this in a recent interview. He is supported by the chairpersons of the SPD factions in the Bundestag, the European Parliament, and the state parliaments, who in a joint statement called for the initiation of a review process as a democratic duty. Wagenknecht stated that the democratic duty of the SPD and other traditional parties is to make politics in the interest of the majority, rather than wanting to ban a more successful political competitor. Ignoring citizens' concerns, even though people are increasingly voting for the AfD out of anger and dissatisfaction with the prevailing politics, is undemocratic, she wrote. The BSW firmly rejects this approach and calls for a political debate on the issues instead of discussions about bans. #AfD #Demokratie #Politik (translated)
