One only has to see how the City issue is being handled in England to realize that Spain is a failed country. The 'Negreira' issue has been exonerated. It has even been said that payments were made for neutrality because all the referees were from Madrid. It has been said that the vice president of the CTA did not intervene in anything. All English clubs want City to be sanctioned. As it should be. Their tricks have affected ALL clubs. Just like in Spain. Madrid had to elevate it to UEFA so that Barça would finally be punished as it deserves. I hope justice is served. (translated)

The climate-conflict story strips people of their agency. It turns societies into dominoes waiting to fall. The security risks are real. They run through specific pathways, which means policy can interrupt them.

Two months ago, the left-wing lawyers' association RAV called for a ban on the AfD in an open letter. It referred to the poor AI-generated report from the equally left-leaning "Society for Freedom Rights." Some signatories work in Hessian courts or public prosecutor's offices. In my opinion, signing the call for a party ban procedure violates the "political moderation obligation" and the "duty of neutrality" of judges and prosecutors. The CDU-led Ministry of Justice in Hesse has therefore directed courts and the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt to examine, in the respective named cases, whether there is a specific reason to consider "necessary action in terms of civil service law." The ministry wants to protect against possible bias in court proceedings related to the AfD. The outcry from the left-wing judges' association NRV is considerable. 😨 We have submitted a small inquiry on this matter (@GrobeDrFrank). We want to know not only how many signatories of the call currently work in the Hessian judiciary and at which courts or public prosecutor's offices they are active. The state government should also clarify how it assesses "regarding moderation obligation, judicial independence, and possible bias" when Hessian judges or prosecutors become active in this way. I am curious about the answers and the further course! (translated)

Come on, the release date for SPAM has been set with the team this morning! 👀 I made a YouTube video because there were so many in-game new features that I couldn't help but show them to you. And of course, we also had to justify this new date... because since it's likely going to be in 2027, it might be hard for you to swallow... (translated)

The Bonn orchestra is insolvent. The popular concert series Vienna Classics is completely canceled. Domino effects! A country in decline. Economically and culturally. The performance operation ends: The association of the Classical Philharmonic Bonn has filed for insolvency. The entire season 2026/27 has been canceled, and thus five planned concerts in the Bielefeld Oetkerhalle are also canceled. Financing collapses: About 60 musicians are affected by the discontinuation of concert operations. Reasons cited include rising costs for travel, accommodation, venues, and organization, as well as the loss of essential financial support. The insolvency shows how significantly rising costs and lack of funding can economically pressure even established cultural offerings. @HotManufaktur thank you very much for this important note!

Future population projections expect that fertility rates stop declining and roughly stabilize. This new NBER paper asks what evidence we have to expect this. It finds there is none. "Instead, where and when fertility has fallen low, it has tended to keep falling." #FertilityRates #PopulationTrends #NBER #Nocountrycodes.

This would never have happened if Hultqvist had continued as defense minister. Magdalena Andersson's leadership does not include promotion based on competence. If that had been the case, Hultqvist, Ygeman, Strandhäll, etc. would not have become prominent. It makes a big difference what you vote for. (translated)

The right of members of parliament to ask questions is constitutionally protected. Article 53 paragraph 2 of the Thuringian Constitution guarantees us the right to ask questions; Article 67 paragraph 1 obliges the state government to answer them without delay. A basic deadline of six weeks applies to small inquiries. What are we experiencing with the Interior Minister? He doesn't need six weeks or even eight. Sometimes he takes months – in some cases nearly a year. I do not have the impression that the Interior Minister takes his constitutional obligations particularly seriously. What do you think? #AfD #nurnochafd #afdfraktion #deshalbafd #afdthüringen #Thüringen #Landtag (translated)

The president of the USA, Donald Trump, announced that the country will soon fill its strategic oil reserves with oil from Venezuela, while also opening up to escalating attacks against Iran and believing in a falling oil price if an agreement is reached between Washington and Tehran. (translated)

The CDU is falling to 4.9% in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The CDU is falling to 12% in Hamburg. The CDU is falling to 12% in Brandenburg. The CDU is falling to 17% in Saxony-Anhalt. Will the CDU soon land below 20 percent everywhere? (translated)

The article explores the case of Christa Pike, who survived a botched execution in Tennessee due to the administration of pentobarbital, a drug that depresses the central nervous system and is used in lethal injection protocols, which has led the state to suspend executions. (translated)

After the Federal Prosecutor's Office announced yesterday that a Kuwait-born suspected IS fighter was arrested in Hesse and a Syrian suspected war criminal was arrested in Rhineland-Palatinate, I made a press inquiry. I wanted to know when the suspects entered Germany, whether they applied for asylum, and what residence status they had at and after entry as well as what they currently have. I also wanted to know whether the suspects had previously been known to the police for similar crimes or violent offenses or had a criminal record. Shortly after that, I received a call from a spokesperson for the Federal Prosecutor, who informed me that they did not want to provide any further information due to the protection of the suspects' personal rights. I took note of this and wrote a rebuttal, citing the necessary weighing between the public's interest in information and the specific, worthy interests of the affected suspects. I pointed out that my questions 1-3 exclusively concern the stay of the suspects in Germany, withdrew the fourth question (because one can argue here with the presumption of innocence and personal rights), and requested answers to questions 1-3. Lastly, I asked to at least name the year of entry and answer the question about the asylum application if more detailed responses are not possible. In case no response is given, I requested confirmation of the refusal to provide information as well as a concrete justification. I received the response earlier via email, see screenshot. They concluded, after weighing "all possible aspects," that the personal rights of a suspected IS fighter and a suspected war criminal, who is accused of executing three people with a close-range headshot, weigh more heavily than the legitimate public interest in knowing how long the suspects have been in Germany and whether they entered the country as asylum seekers. Well then. This does not correspond to my understanding of transparency. In this context, I would like to point out that you can also support my work. Any support helps to make research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical costs, and the further expansion of my portal Current Information possible. Unfortunately, at the moment, the costs are higher than the revenue. I would therefore be very pleased and grateful for any support. You can do that here: https://t.co/0RvVD8whhG (translated)
