Claudia Wittig, MdL, wrote that she was harassed today by ZDF reporters and criticized the reporting as, in her opinion, deceitful, one-sided, and designed to provoke outrage. She attended an event of a local peace alliance, to which all parties in the state parliament had been invited. BSW and AfD had confirmed their attendance; among the guests were Gabriele Gysi and Tino Eisbrenner. According to Wittig, reporters were waiting for her with a running camera at her private vehicle, even though she had declined an interview in writing. For the article, a photo of her and Ulrich Siegmund is to be reused, which originally was part of a group photo with other leading candidates. Siegmund did not participate in the event. Wittig accused the media of primarily scandalizing a supposed closeness to the AfD and not reporting on the content of the event. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Faktenchecker (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus warned that German gastronomy is under pressure. In his current YouTube interview, he wrote that critical comments from guests have accumulated. One viewer reported spending 15 euros for a pizza, 4.50 euros for a wheat beer, and 1.50 euros in tips – a total of 21 euros. Another criticized a bottle of wine for 30 euros that costs only 10 euros online. Unattentive service and long waiting times were also mentioned as complaints. According to Boeminghaus, the commentators did not see the responsibility lying solely with politics. They also criticized a lack of hospitality, poor value for money, and missing quality. A woman from Berlin reported significantly better experiences in Polish restaurants. At the same time, high personnel, energy, and operating costs burden many businesses, he wrote. Boeminghaus described a conflict between the need for higher revenues in gastronomy businesses and guests who could or wanted to afford restaurant visits increasingly less often. He warned that if long-time restaurant guests preferred to stay at home, more than just the next revenue was at stake for traditional German gastronomy. https://t.co/YapCnYou6I #Gastronomie #Deutschland #Restaurants (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that WDR interviewed a French woman for the program "Aktuelle Stunde," who expressed compassion for the young offenders in light of the violence in Paris and cited their poverty as the reason for breaking into, among other places, Chanel. The woman specifically named Chanel and was so moved that tears came to her eyes. Goldstein-Wolf emphasized that this was not satire and accused WDR of trying to politically manipulate the audience again. #Parodie #WDR #Gewalt (translated)

Sólbjørg Jakobsen criticized Venstre for going after Rosa Lund after she had made posts and given interviews during her maternity leave. Jakobsen wrote that Lund had worked in the Parliament almost until her birth, and that Ekstra Bladet had portrayed the case as an example of how the Red-Green Alliance milked the system. Jakobsen disagreed with this. She wrote that Peder Hvelplund in the article had accounted for a specific deliberation in the party that she found reasonable if one distinguished between sick leave and maternity leave. Jakobsen added that she herself was writing from her maternity leave and that women could very well be on maternity leave while also being interested in work. She wished Lund good luck upon her return and wrote that she looked forward to both fighting against her politically and supporting her as a political co-mother. #politik #barsel #kvindelighed (translated)
